Welcome to
Outer Orbit
Outer Orbit is uniquely San Francisco! Where else would you find the combination of Hapa-Hawaiian dishes like housemade Spam Musubi, Lilikoi Malasadas, and our Guava Wood-Smoked Pig Melt paired with an always rotating craft beer selection on 12 taps, wines running the gamut from Cab Francs to Pet Nats, and hot sakes for those cold SF nights, all against the backdrop of a curated selection of pinball games! It's happening and always a good vibe at Outer Orbit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does my membership dues get used for food and beverage credits?
The entirety of your $140 per quarter VIP Club dues is converted to food and beverage credits that can be used on-site at Outer Orbit. We track these credits in your house account.
Simply let our staff know that you're a VIP Club member either by leaving a note on your reservation, texting your dedicated VIP member concierge ahead of your visit, or telling us when you check in. Any food and beverage purchase during your visit will be deducted from your house account. If you use up all of your credits, any amount that goes over will be charged to your payment method on file — you won't need to take out your card at Outer Orbit again! Feel free to keep using your house account after you run out of credits. Your credits will be topped-up every quarter automatically.
If you happen to have credits remaining at the end of the quarter, they'll roll over to the next quarter and will never expire.
Does my membership only cover myself, or can it include a plus one?
If you'd like a plus one to also be authorized to use your house account, please let us know via the text-based concierge available only to VIP members. You'll receive a text from the concierge when you become a member.
How can I pause or cancel my membership?
You can pause or cancel your membership at any time. Your membership will become inactive at the end of the quarter that you pause or cancel. Please send us an email to let us know how long you'd like to pause or whether you'd like to cancel.
While your membership is paused, you will not be charged each quarter and new food, beverage, and pinball credits will not be added. You will still have access to your existing credits during this time.
If I become a member during the middle of the a month, how does my membership renewal work?
Your membership will renew every three months on the first of the month.
When you become a member, you'll have access to the VIP membership benefits right away; however, for the purposes of billing, we consider the official start date of your membership to be the first of the following month (unless if you become a member on the first of a month, then your billing start date would be the day that you become a member). Your membership will renew every 3 months after the official start date.
For example, if you signed up in the middle of January, your billing start date will be on February 1, so your next renewal will be on May 1.
