San Francisco’s Bergerac Rebrands as Bella, an Amalfi Coast-Inspired Listening Lounge | Eater SF

"An Amalfi Coast–inspired listening lounge reborn from the Bergerac space, this bright, lime‑washed terracotta‑walled room pairs Italian‑summer vibes with a vintage record‑playing sensibility, an improved speaker system and DJ booth, and a decidedly unpretentious stance (no dress code, open to all). Signature cocktails run about $15 and the food aims for affordability, with a 50 percent–off happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, dropping drinks and dishes to about $8; lounge‑friendly, Italian‑leaning bites from chef Jake Lucas include an arancini tower, creative shrimp cocktails, pizzettas, Parmesan fries, and chicken sliders, plus free bar snacks like their version of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos without “the orange stuff.” The bar focuses on specialty cocktails, martinis, and spritzes: the Amalfi Spritzer brings limoncello and prosecco, other spritzes play with different amari, even the espresso martini folds in amaro, and The Traveler mixes gin and Campari with passion fruit, Manzanilla sherry, and lemon; groups can also splurge on a punch bowl serving four to six. The vibe evolves from daylight to sundown to the midnight hour until you don’t want to leave, and it’s positioned as an open‑to‑the‑public escape for cocktails and a bite, with hours from 5 p.m. to midnight Tuesday–Thursday and 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday." - Dianne de Guzman
