Kristoff Robin originally from Allendale, Hayward, Kristoff moved to San Francisco to pursue his dreams of opening a bar. San Francisco as Kristoff knew it, is a place that is open to all, where anyone from anywhere can belong to a city that attracts tourism. For his bar, he wanted it to be a place where ​everyone​ can come in and relax. He wanted it to be a modern, aesthetic focused bar. He is committed to creating an open space for customers to socialize without feeling too cramped in a space. Unlike typical bars, Kristoff’s vision for Pier Pong will have limited seating to allow more standing space to accommodate as many people as needed. As Pier Pong will be a bar that is open to all, Kristoff also wants his business to be open to its community and neighbors. He wants to support locals as much as he can, therefore Pier Pong will be a bar that will showcase local artwork.
