Club DeLuxe Reopens as The DeLuxe on Haight Street After Three-Year Closure
SAN FRANCISCO. The Haight-Ashbury music room that spent decades as Club DeLuxe is open again. The bar at 1511 Haight Street reopened on June 18, 2026, under the name The DeLuxe, returning live music to the corner three years after it closed in April 2023.
The reopening is led by Christian Beaulieu, a former Club DeLuxe bartender and musician, and Jay Bordeleau, who also owns the jazz club Mr. Tipple’s. The pair took over the space last year and spent months renovating it. In September 2025 they secured city approval to host live music until 2 a.m. seven nights a week, though the venue’s current hours close earlier.
What changed inside
The renovation kept the room’s Streamline Moderne and Art Deco look, the style it has carried since it first opened as a bar. New windows open onto Haight Street, so music can carry to the sidewalk on most evenings, and new murals by artist Jon Weiss trace the venue’s history. The bar added hand-built shelving in an Art Deco style. Both the San Francisco Standard and SFist previewed the room around the reopening.
The drinks
The DeLuxe brought back the greyhound made with grapefruit juice squeezed to order, a drink the room was known for. The new cocktail list adds a Mezcal Louisiane, which the owners describe as an agave-based take on two New Orleans classics, the Vieux Carre and the Sazerac, along with a Cosmo Spritz and an espresso martini. There are mocktails built on house tinctures and teas, and the beer list includes the local producers Standard Deviant and Fort Point.
The music
The DeLuxe books live music every night. Beaulieu has said the programming will keep the room’s long history of rockabilly and Latin jazz while adding indie pop, country, electronic, and roots music. He told SFist the place could not return “without restoring its legacy of music and community.” The reopening lands during a stretch of new bar, restaurant, and bakery activity in the Haight-Ashbury, the neighborhood best known for the 1967 Summer of Love.
