Commission approves extended hours for Nan/Nann and Curry with strict conditions after citing past violations
Summary
The Entertainment Commission granted Nan/Nann and Curry (336 O'Farrell) extended-hours with detailed conditions including posted hours, two lead-trained security guards, camera surveillance, ambient-noise limits, and police conditions after commissioners reviewed multiple notices of violation and SFPD CAD history.
The San Francisco Entertainment Commission voted to grant an extended-hours permit to Nan/Nann and Curry, at 336 O'Farrell Street, but imposed a suite of conditions intended to address prior violations and neighborhood concerns.
Acting general manager "Bobby" told commissioners the restaurant has operated near the Tenderloin for about nine to ten years, serves halal and vegetarian food late at night and recently obtained a beer-and-wine license. He apologized for earlier noncompliance and said the business had been trying to hire security and change operations. "I take the blame on that," Bobby said when commissioners recounted notices of violation.
Tenderloin Station officer Mike Torres summarized multiple CAD calls stretching back several years — including calls for fights, trespassers, noise complaints and large crowds between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. — and recommended a more limited hour extension. "Based on these calls for service, we think it's only fair to allow the applicant to get this permit for one hour from 2AM to 3AM," Torres said.
Commissioners fashioned a compromise motion that the chair read into the record: Sunday–Thursday hours extended to 3:00 a.m. with the last meal served at 2:30 a.m.; Friday and Saturday extended to 3:30 a.m. with last meal at 3:00 a.m.; two lead-trained, guard-carded security guards on duty (midnight to 03:30 a.m., with security to remain later on weekends as needed); posted hours and signage; camera surveillance and ambient music kept below an audible threshold outside; and all police-recommended conditions to be enforced.
Commissioners stressed enforcement and neighborhood outreach. David Baker, acting president of the North America Planning Coalition, urged commissioners to consider allegations about the owner's other properties and cautioned against granting favors. The commission approved the motion after discussion and recorded Aye votes from commissioners on the dais. The permit is conditional and subject to suspension or revocation if the venue violates requirements.
