Christian Albertson

Owner

Christian has worked and excelled in every position in the restaurant business over the past 20 years, in many different types of places: New York, Boston, Boulder, and San Francisco.

He spent time at The Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery and the Parish Café before moving to San Francisco. Christian teamed up with partner, Nat Cutler, and the duo created The Monk’s Kettle in the winter of 2007. Christian started off working shifts throughout the restaurant including behind the bar, working the floor, and managing shifts. Not only did Christian build the team and put together a staff, he also developed the operational systems behind one of the city’s busiest and premier gastro-pubs. Christian oversees the buying and cellaring of all of the beer and spends a great deal of time training his team on how to best pair beer with food.

The Monk’s Kettle has become universally known for its beer program, consistently rated as one of the top beer bars -- locally, nationally, internationally.

In his free time, Christian spends time with his wife and two kids.
