Welcome to The Blue Light - 1979 Union St.
Est. 1978
A Marina District Legend Since 1978
Once owned by legendary musician Boz Scaggs, The Blue Light has been a Marina District icon since Johnny ‘Love’ Metheny took over in 1991. This Union Street sports bar is famous for its stiff drinks, high-energy weekends, unbeatable game-day vibe with 19 big-screen TVs so you never miss a play and outdoor patio dining (and drinking). Kick back on our sunny outdoor patio, challenge friends to pool or darts, and soak up the lively atmosphere that’s made The Blue Light a go-to for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re here for college football, every NFL game, or to close down the dance floor on Saturday night, The Blue Light is where San Francisco comes to celebrate.
