Why you should experience The DeLuxe in San Francisco, California.
The DeLuxe is a renowned neighborhood music venue where Haight-Ashbury's countercultural legacy, jazz traditions, independent nightlife, and enduring creative spirit continue to animate one of San Francisco's most beloved live music institutions.
Set along Haight Street near Ashbury Street and just steps from the Haight-Ashbury Clock, this intimate cocktail bar and music venue preserves the welcoming character that has drawn musicians, neighborhood regulars, and visitors together for decades. Mirrored ceilings, Streamline Moderne detailing, handcrafted woodwork, and warm lighting create an atmosphere where every performance feels deeply personal, while the compact room places audiences only a few feet from the stage.

What you should know about The DeLuxe.
The DeLuxe is best known for reopening in June 2026 under former bartender Christian Beaulieu and Mr. Tipple's Recording Studio founder Jay Bordeleau, restoring a venue whose history stretches back to 1978 as The DeLuxe Bar, its transformation into Club Deluxe in 1989, and its celebrated legacy of live music after a three-year closure.
That thoughtful revival carefully preserves the venue's historic character while introducing a new era of nightly performances rooted in community and exceptional musicianship. Original Streamline Moderne architecture, mirrored ceilings, handcrafted Art Deco-inspired shelving, and newly commissioned murals celebrating the venue's history surround an intimate stage where live music is presented seven nights a week. The celebrated Greyhound cocktail made with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice returns alongside thoughtfully crafted classic cocktails, house-made mocktails, and an expanded “jazz plus” programming philosophy embracing jazz, blues, rockabilly, roots music, and emerging local artists. Every evening reflects a commitment to authenticity, neighborhood culture, and live performance, creating a physical experience where remarkable musicianship, timeless cocktails, and Haight-Ashbury's enduring creative energy converge beneath one of San Francisco's most storied roofs.
