Céleste

"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

"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." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri

"In the market for an obscenely sexy, “let’s look hot and run into my ex” night? All roads lead 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. After bobbing your head to The Weeknd all night, you’ll probably get hungry, so spend quality time with their pretty good Mediterranean small plates, like crudo, labneh, and grilled skewers. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, lani conway

"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

"In the market for an obscenely sexy, “let’s look hot and run into my ex” night? All roads lead to Céleste. The wine bar (by the people behind and ) is Union Street’s most trafficked place for anyone who has an espresso martini punch card at and/or pays for a hot yoga membership. They’re here to sip on heavy pours of wines, described with phrases like “pillow talk” and “babe town,” and soak in the vibey atmosphere with blue laser projections and red bathroom tiles. This place will make you feel like you’re at a nightclub outside of SF—at least until you overhear a conversation about diamond cuts and the reality of actually being in Cow Hollow sets in. After hours of bobbing your head to The Weeknd, you’ll probably get hungry, so spend quality time with their good Mediterranean small plates, like crudos, labneh, and grilled skewers. " - Julia Chen
