Jon Santer

Foreword writer JON SANTER is the owner of Prizefighter Bar in Emeryville, CA, which was voted one of Playboy Magazine's best classic bars of 2012 and one of the best bars of 2015 by Esquire Magazine. Prizefighte is Santer's (successful) attempt at "making drinking fun" once again. Jon is well known in the San Francisco Bay Area for his stints behind some of the city's best bars. Most notably, in 2006, he helped open the Prohibition-inspired Bourbon & Branch, the bar that helped usher in the speakeasy-style, craft cocktail scene.
