Bourbon Steak & The Eighth Rule
Bourbon Steak & The Eighth Rule
Michael Mina's return to San Francisco and Stephen Curry's speakeasy, The Eighth Rule, were carved into a historic landmark hotel with AvroKo. Both were nominated for the 2026 AIA Interior Design of the Year.
This is the work Centric is built for: high-finish, high-stakes, inside a building that never closed. When the design called for four-foot steel plates hung from the ceiling, our team value-engineered the exact look in boxed, blackened aluminum. Fabricated in our own shop, installed without a trip back to the architect, and hundreds of pounds lighter over guests' heads in a city that shakes.
- Restaurant and speakeasy build inside an occupied landmark
- Value engineering: boxed aluminum for structural steel
- In-house metal and wood fabrication
- Custom millwork and bar joinery
- Historic-building coordination
- Phased delivery around hotel operations
“High-stakes, high-finish, and no option to shut the doors. That's the work we're built for.”
