Club Deluxe

📍 💰 Free 🎯 COCKTAIL LOUNGE

The Verdict

"A small cocktail bar at the corner of Haight and Ashbury, open since 1989, with live jazz several nights a week. Small combos play piano trios, quartets, and occasional vocalists; the stage and the room share the same space. No cover for most jazz nights, cocktails $14 to $18."

What you need to know

Club Deluxe was a small cocktail bar with live music at the corner of Haight and Ashbury. It opened in 1989 and closed in April 2023. A revival called The DeLuxe, led by a former Club Deluxe bartender and the founder of Mr. Tipple’s, won city approval in September 2025 for live music until 2am seven nights a week. As of June 2026 the venue is slated to reopen by the end of the month, with a new stage, sound system, and cocktail menu. Check thedeluxesf.com for current status before visiting.

What to Expect

The original room hosted small jazz combos: piano trios, quartets, and the occasional vocalist. The stage was small and the room was small, which kept the music in the same physical space as the bar. The new owners say the revival will stay true to that spirit, with programming spanning jazz, blues, surf rock, and Latin music.
