About

On the corner of Union Street and Laguna Street in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood, Left Door is a second-floor cocktail lounge serving classic cocktails, martinis, champagne, wine, oysters, caviar, and elevated bar bites in an intimate, vintage-inspired setting.

Located at 1905 Union Street above one of Cow Hollow’s most recognizable corner buildings, Left Door was created as a toast to San Francisco: its history, its neighborhoods, its nightlife, and the ritual of gathering for a proper drink. Guests come for martinis, champagne, seasonal cocktails, late-night bites, music, private events, and a room that feels both timeless and distinctly San Francisco.

Left Door is open Tuesday through Sunday for cocktails, food, reservations, walk-ins, date nights, celebrations, and group gatherings. The lounge also hosts private events, corporate gatherings, birthday parties, wedding celebrations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and full venue buyouts for groups seeking a stylish private event space in San Francisco.

Named Best New Bar by San Francisco Magazine’s Best of the Bay 2024, Left Door has also been featured by the San Francisco Chronicle, Condé Nast Traveler, Eater San Francisco, The Infatuation, 7x7, Nob Hill Gazette, and San Francisco Magazine.
