"For an obscenely sexy, “let’s look hot and run into my ex” night? Go to Céleste. The wine bar (by the people behind Bodega and Key Klub) is Union Street’s most trafficked place for anyone who has an espresso martini punch card at Balboa and/or pays for a hot yoga membership. They’re all here to sip on heavy pours of wines, described with phrases like “pillow talk” and “babe town,” and soak in the vibey atmosphere with red bathroom tiles and blue laser projections. Spend quality time with their solid Mediterranean small plates when you get hungry." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Also in Cow Hollow is Céleste, a wine bar bathed in sexy red lighting that could easily be the backdrop to a Euphoria cover shoot. It’s the perfect place to seductively sip on a glass of orange wine, get hyped up by a bartender, and confidently make eyes at an NYC transplant from across the room. It gets crowded on weekends, but that's just all the more opportunity to lock eyes with someone who's going to ghost you in a couple of weeks. A slick back bun or a tech vest Wine drinkers who have “moved on” from Balboa" - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"For the late-night wanderer in search of something slightly ritzy, newcomer Céleste holds it down on Union Street. Lalo Luevano and Paria Sedigh, owners of Bodega and Key Klub in North Beach and Lower Nob Hill, respectively, are dishing “Greek taverna fare” — think seafood and skewers — alongside a bevy of wine until 11 p.m." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The team behind San Francisco wine bars Bodega and Key Klub opened their latest venture Céleste in October 2023, creating moody, nighttime wine vibes for the Union Street crowd. Expect the same witty wine descriptions as at its sister bars, plus a food menu consisting of skewers and kebabs, spreads, and crudo, perfect for noshing on alongside a glass of skin contact wine." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The team behind Key Klub and Bodega (the wine bar, not the restaurant) is opening a new wine bar in the Marina. This Union Street outpost will serve both natural wines and more traditional varieties like Burgundy and Chardonnay. The menu features Greek taverna food including fresh seafood, grilled skewers, and an array of dips. Walk-ins only." - Ricky Rodriguez
