About this business

Opened originally by blues legend Boz Scaggs, this restaurant and club is a very popular destination with locals and tourists. And no wonder! The fare is delicious, with plenty of finger food along with Tex-Mex specialties like fajitas and tacos. The drinks are tall and potent and crowds are large and lively. It is definitely apparent that everyone at The Blue Light is having a good time with the percussive sound system keeps the energy high all night.

Best Place to Chill – I think blue light is one of the best bars in SF. The wait staff never seems to let me down. If I order a beer they usually ask me, "what kind?" Isn't that great? I met my wife at blue light in 05 so I always feel like I should drop a huge tip when I order there tacos on tuesdays. My wife orders SIX! She needs to cut back but they're so good! I always like to liven up the dance floor when I hear the dj play hits like 2pac and John Denver. That's where I met my wife by the way, she was on the dance floor... read more

The Blue Light – Whether it is in the beginning of the night or the end, I always seems to have a great time here. I love Tuesdays and recently our group has started going in on weekends. There always seem to be attractive men around...which is good for us. I love the beers on tap-always cold-and actually the drinks are the cheapest in the area. It is a great deal for food & cocktails. Afternoons are great too & Super Bowl should be a blast. Hope to see you there!

Taco Tuesdays! – The chicken tacos are the best! Service is fast and friendly, even when it's packed! The only drawback, only one stall in the ladies restroom, but, the wait's not too bad.

I actually met my present boyfriend here, and can name 4 other women who have done the same. I also love the Blue Light salad- check it out.

Daily specials entice flirtatious singles at this swamped Cow Hollow bar. – The Scene As the work day ends, this narrow space fills up. A slightly elevated area near the entrance provides blue-upholstered seating in front of picture windows offering prime people-watching onto bustling Union Street. Walls are painted copper or baby blue and adorned with picture-framed mirrors (ideal for scoping 20- and 30-something hotties across the way). Track lighting runs above the lengthy mirror-backed bar, which features a dozen or so t... read more

the bluelight rocks on... – After outgrowing many of the bars on/around Union St, the Bluelight still rocks. It's a great place to meet friends for a drink when you want to totally chill on Mondays & Wednesday and they have amazing drink specials. Those days you realize how nice the inside is (quite loungy). Tues, Thurs & Weekends are bit rowdier but still fun. The bartenders and some of the regulars there are great. There is a reason why this bar has been around for so many years and continues to do well!

What Stamina! – After going to the Blue Light for the past 10 years, not much has changed. The bartenders are still sociable and a lot of fun, the drinks are still relatively cheap, and the mood is still that of a bacchanalia.

Blue Light Shines – Blue Light has the feel of great local tavern while displaying signs of modern elegance. The young, good looking crowd hangs here! It's the place to be.
