123-Year-Old Union Street Watering Hole Bus Stop Gets a Fancy Upstairs Lounge Called Left Door | Eater SF

"Tucked above the Bus Stop Saloon, the new lounge Left Door debuted to the public on Wednesday, November 22 after new-ish owners Joseph Wallace and Robert Lemons transformed the space into a caviar- and dirty martini-strewn lounge intended as “a toast to the spirit of the city.” The mood is elegant: drinks are generally north of $20 and include dirty martinis composed of Monterey Bay seaweed, olive brine, and Hog Island sea salt brine, and Manhattans finished with TCHO chocolate bitters. Food skews luxurious, with wagyu beef bites with miso butter for $65 and caviar service that can run up to $210. The bar asks guests to “limit phone usage” and “dress to impress,” and will operate 5:30 p.m. to midnight Tuesday through Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday (closed on Thanksgiving)." - Paolo Bicchieri
