Owner Luis Benitez tells Hoodline that Pawpitos will open in January.
Benitez will be familiar to many as he owns Castro Barber Lounge across the street.
Deck The Halls (2298 Market)
Castro residents and visitors looking to get into the holiday spirit now have a new Christmas-themed pop-up bar.
Deck the Halls holiday pop-up bar is now open at 2298 Market Street, a.k.a. the space formerly known as Cafe Flore.

The former Fisch & Flore space was briefly Fat Cat Wine Club, which closed November 22.
Deck the Halls has converted the former Cafe Flore space into a winter wonderland full of candy canes, gingerbread men, holiday-themed cocktails and seasonal bites.
Deck the Halls is open daily through December 28.
Antoine's Cookie Shop (2073 Market)
Antoine's Cookie Shop is now open at 2073 Market Street, formerly Woodhouse Fish.

Cookie options include chocolate chip, cookies 'n cream, snickerdoodle, honeycomb, dark chocolate, toffee, peanut buttercup, white chocolate macadamia, oatmeal chip with pecans, walnut chip, and semi-sweet macadamia.
