We Love Hapa-Hawaii Food, Craft Beer, & Pinball...
We love SF and we love Hawaii and here at Outer Orbit you can experience this Hapa culture. We love our Hawaii-influenced food, craft beer, our synthy-gothy-punk music, local pinball community, and chill vibes.
You may not find some of our dishes in Hawaii just as you won’t find every Hawaii dish at our place- and that’s a good thing. If you want to experience Hawaii culture you should visit the islands, get out of your comfort zone, and try to find what it is about the culture (food, attitudes, common activities, etc) that people there love. We’re doing our own thing at OO because this is what we love about Hawaii culture and SF culture. We of course can’t fit everything into one restaurant, but we’re certainly trying. And we don’t expect everyone to vibe with every aspect of what we’re doing either. But please, please, have a good time here! Take it easy, eat yummy food, get your drink on, and bring good vibes for everyone to benefit from. Keep SF rad!
Thanks for checking us out!
Owners, Christian Gainsley & Elisabeth Kohnke
About us
The dream of two Bernal locals, Elisabeth and Christian opened Outer Orbit in 2018 to share their passion of food, beer, and pinball with their community. Christian hails from Hawaii and both he and Elisabeth are in love with what's happening in the Hawaii food scene.
And if you weren't aware, San Francisco has an amazingly tight-knit and supportive pinball community, much of it surrounding competitive play. Feel free to ask us for tips and tricks and if you're really getting into it, we even have our own pinball team you can join, the Outer Orbit Otters!
Thanks to our talented
partners in crime!
