About Quik Dog -
Quik Dog is an exciting new concept that spun-off from the acclaimed San Francisco cocktail bar Trick Dog. Quik Dog was originally conceived during the pandemic and built around Trick Dog’s core food items. Now, after a long incubation period, Quik Dog has found its first permanent home in the San Francisco Giants’ new Mission Rock Development just south of the ballpark on McCovey Cove. Quik Dog is located on the northwest corner of the neighborhood, right at the Lefty O’Doul drawbridge. People pass Quik Dog from three directions on their way into the ballpark: All roads lead to Quik Dog. This location will have a full bar that’s perfectly integrated so both sports-watching cocktailers and burger-eating families can all enjoy the space in harmony. There is also an outdoor patio with multiple bars primed for big game-day business. The inspiration behind Quik Dog comes from our mission to tap into the craving for the familiar, without sacrificing our creative values. Quik Dog is a modern rendition of the classic burger and hotdog joints from your youth, a casual experience infused with a level of culinary care and innovation that makes it stand out. Projected opening fall 2025.
