Tunnel Tops Park Will Have a New Food Hall in 2025

The Presidio’s popular Tunnel Tops Park will be home to a new food hall in 2025, park operators announced Tuesday.

The Mess Hall, in a building adjacent to the park, will house a food hall, bar, cafe and retail market, scheduled to be open each day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It will be located at 201 Halleck St., with the park’s signature views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands and Alcatraz.

While no specific tenants for The Mess Hall have been announced, the Presidio Trust, which operates the park, expects the hall to sell “fast-casual made-to-order meals, grab-and-go prepared options, and a provisions market featuring local specialties, imported favorites, and picnic essentials.”

Two out-of-towners have been brought on in key positions. Heading the Mess Hall’s food side is the James Beard Award–winning, Korean American chef Peter Serpico, formerly of Momofuko, as well as his own restaurant, Serpico, in Philadelphia. In charge of the bar is Zach Negin, an owner of the Los Angeles bar Tabula Rasa and the Silverlake Lounge, a live music venue. (Negin is also a partner in San Francisco’s Dolores Deluxe, a corner store in the Mission.)

The Mess Hall also operates another location in Orange County. Other current food options adjacent to Tunnel Tops Park include Il Parco, the Italian cafe that specializes in foccacia sourdough pizza, and the Presidio Pop-Up, a regular rotation of food trucks.
