The happy hour -- Battle of the Decades on Friday is a blast. it starts early so there is parking, 6pm. The drinks start at $1 and there is a taco truck. no cover most fridays. people start dancing around 8pm and it usually gets crazy by 9pm. super easy, no dress code, just fun thing to start the weekend. i recommend it!

We found out about this bar on our Virgin Atlantic city guide on the flight to SF. They recommended the Sunday Brunch Cabaret. It was a great recommendation. A must if you are in town on Sunday.The bar is perfectly decorated for cabaret. The brunch buffet is very good and served an hour before cabaret so you can finish eating before the start, if you want. There is plenty of choice and you wont go hungry. The cocktails are also very good.The drag cabaret funny, interactive and slick. Prepare to be entertained.

I came here for lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is awesome. Theyve got a tiny bar in front and then you walk through a narrow passageway to the bigger room in the back. Theyve got the room to feel like an outdoor patio, bunch of tables, some high-tops and a bar.

Starlight room was re-vamped and got a new face and feel. But, I miss the old Starlight Room San Francisco charm: solid dance floor, cute regulars, fun bartender chats. Now the old charms all vanished, leaving us with this awkward cheap feel.

The first night we tried it was closed for a private event until later. The next night we had more luck, and because we went early (930 ish) we didnt have to pay cover and we got a table by the window. My wife had a delicious cocktail (devine something), was dessert but with booze. Music was great, although the DJ hadnt started yet. Cool atmosphere and amazing views of the city. As an added bonus, we watched the fireworks above the ball field. Unfortunately our table was stolen when we went to go back, but we were leaving anyway. Would be a really fun place to spend a whole night dancing. Mixed crowd, so we didnt feel too old, which is nice. Well worth checking out!

We went last night, a Friday night. We were a party of fifteen celebrating a Friends Birthday.The cocktails were quite good. The Staff were okay.I struggled with the DJ most of all, hence the 3 star review. He would play one or two good songs and then several that you could hardly dance to. People were standing around talking in the dance floor and for a group of Friends who love to dance, this was hard for us. Several groups left earlier than us.The Starlight Room being in a Kimpton Hotel, a plus for dog owners like myself. We saw a couple with their dog enjoying their drinks, the views and the music.

What a great place for a quick bite to eat. On the top Floor . Theres a dance floor with the best views of the City. This is definitely a must do! if you love to dance on a Friday night. Make sure you get in before 10 p.m so you can try the food apps. All so good!!! Salman sliders are the best!! And the chips are so good! Even there hot wings. I just wanted to order two of everything off the menu.

Great place, amazing view 21st floorLocation awesome drinks and servicefantastic. Life music

Very fun place! The vibe was great, music was fun and best of all there was a dancefloor!

I used to love this place - one of may favorite all are welcome night out locations in SF, with a stellar view. Recently they remodeled (nice) and rebranded as Lizzies Starlight, and unfortunately the new swanky decor seems to have come with a snobby attitude.Its rare for me to be negative on a place, but between the no, all seating is reserved only now and the barman who got testy that we were in his way when we tried to pull one more stool near the bar, it just wasnt a fun location to spend a weekend night any more. The attitude from several staff reminded me of those clubs which make you line up just so they can be selective on who gets in.Great to see the revamped decor but really disappointed with the snobby unwelcoming attitude (its truly rare for me to write such a negative review - but it was a pretty disappointing experience from a place I used to love).

Amazing view, great place for private party

Such a great view of Union Square at night, especially at Christmas time. The servers definitely tried their best to be prompt and to not missing orders, but its a pretty busy weekend before Christmas. We were happy and adequately lubricated by alcohol so we didnt care that much when they forgot our order.The only annoying part is when a group blocked the most prime spot viewing area and just hung out there for a very long time.

Dont come for the view because the windows were all completely fogged up. The clientele was on the seedy side, with guys refusing to take no for an answer. Music fairly mediocre, we left within 15 minutes after paying the $10 cover - a complete waste. The coat lady literally never uttered one word not cracked a smile. The place feels very meat market-like from the seventies with rows of guys against the windows checking out the action and a disco ball above. The downstairs bathroom area was deserted on a Saturday night but the Art Deco architecture is worth a look.

Great place with killer views! Not to mention a dance floor with a DJ booth. Great drinks and service as well.

Cool spot on lower nob hill near Union Square. Nice views of the city. Room for small private conversation and a dance floor.

Awesome food, great entertainment

Bar is located at the top of the Kimpton Sir Francis Drake hotel. The view is stunning. Although it was a middle of the week bar was very loud and crowded. Drinks were very good.

Great view! Not expensive drinks. Music kind of old... Will come back for food

Ive had some good memories here over the years, lately though its been hard to come here and make new ones. Service, cleanliness and ambiance arent what they used to be. Ill probably keep coming back hoping for things to improve.

Really liked the Sunday drag queen brunch. A great place to bring visitors, or have an entertaining Sunday with your friends!

That was my favorite night club during my party days, and I visited the place after 16 years, and the place is still happening :)

Such a cute, old fashioned bar with a stunning view! The staff were so warm and welcoming. If you are visiting San Francisco, Id recommend stopping by for a drink during sun set.

Very nice interior. Given the higher end crowd, they should probably reduce the rap and hip hop and stick to top 40 and classics. Could use a larger dance floor.

Beautiful views of the city, especially in case of good weather. Old bar in need of renovation with slightly overpriced drinks and SLOW elevators

I wanted to take my mom out dancing, since she rarely comes to the Bay area. This place was fairly seedy. The people dancing were generally fairly creepy, and wouldnt take no for an answer. The staff was courteous, if disinterested. I would absolutely not recommend. The stellar views they lost of werent even visible because of the condensation on the windows.

Went to an Sunday Drag brunch that was exceptional. The brunch itself was soso but we had a great time and laughed out added off.

Ive only been to the bar for cocktails, so I cant speak to the food, but a neat old bar. Creative cocktails. Great views from the 21st floor. The bartender we had made this a five star experience... Ask for Jay (Wei)

While the address is easy to find, its not obvious where the Starlight Room is, once youre inside the hotel. Better signage would help. Server got my order wrong, and it wasnt even busy (not a complicated order either) Might go again next visit to San Francisco as the place is actually quite nice.

So beautiful. Went for the Starlight Cabaret on a Thursday. Worth the late night on a work night! So many beautiful performers.

The view was phenomenal. The drinks were crisp. And even with tons of people it wasnt too crowded.

Best place I have been too. The good and employees are attentive.. Would definitely go back.

Went in around 11 PM. Good music and excellent staff. Highly recommended.However the general poor condition of the streets in the Union Square area is a concern.The street outside is filthy and you may likely be confronted by beggars or otherwise smell urine and human waste. The beggars may insult you or your family if you do not give.Also while walking through Union Square on the way a group of youths intentionally bumped us, and one pretended he was going to throw a chair from a closed cafe at us. We could only keep walking and hoped to be left alone.Stay safe, suggest to not walk around the area in the evening. No police were seen, seems the city government is overwhelmed. Stay away completely, or travel in a vehicle point to point.

Great little spot for a date. The food is affordable and the views are break-taking, especially at sunset. Ive had mixed service here, but I will come bck time and again

Such a fun place to go! Love that it appeals to a wide age group of people. The music needed a little bit of help but, I understand that they are appealing to the masses . Love the views from the top

A bit too loud for my taste. Its mostly just a grab for your $10 admission. The view is nice. Not romantic.

Awesome part of the hotel. Great views!

Low-lit, sleek and cozy lounge bar in the Union Square area. Interesting, eclectic cocktail menu served with exceptional customer service.

Wow what a view!!!! We came up the elevators and turned into the Starlight Room to be greeted by the most friendly host, he took my date by the arm and walked us to a table with an incredible view. He made sure we were happy and taken care of by the equally friendly waitress that was on top of anything we needed with a smile. Was a little early for the DJ but enjoyed the background music and looking over the city lights from the windows around the dance floor. Great service, great drinks and what a view!

HIGHLY reccomend this SUNDAYS A DRAG show! If i could give more stars, i would! The brunch was fabulous, classy! The show was the same!! The girls costumes were AMAZING! They were VERY entertaing and funny! My cheeks hurt from laughing! A MUST when in SF!!!!! LOVE you ladies!!!!

A hidden treasure: highly recommend for the gardener, secret adventurer, and home chef.....yes, there are even cookbooks within the walls....but it is the garden that i love. one stop spirituality shop as well.

This place has a great vibe! Good for groups. Great views of the city! No dress code.

Starlight is one of those places where youll always have a great time. The staff is super friendly, especially Chase the bouncer. The drinks are great though a lil on the expensive side and theres always a new DJ pumping out great music to dance to

This place is amazing. The view of the city is to die for. Great drinks and offering some great live music. Super romantic place to take someone to have some drinks and spend time together while overlooking the city

I had an hour to kill before a play and had never been here before. I wanted to like the place but was disappointed. It is, essentially, a dive bar. The drinks were overpriced, the bartender was surly, there was rap music playing over the sound system where every other word was cursing. Most if the bar was closed off for some reason. There was a piano, but no one playing. The one window looking over the City was so filthy you couldnt see out of it. I definitely will not return. There are just so many better options in SF for drinks.

The adult beverages were exceptional. The live entertainment is worth a visit to San Francisco.

Beautiful place & quite lively! Go to the Sunday Brunch Drag Show youll be glad you did! Great food, super fun show, incredible entertainment ... go for it!

Nice view but smelled of a musty, past-its-best bar. Prices were pretty high. Food was basic and expensive. Not a place to spend a long time at. Have to be better locations in SF for a good night out!

Great club! This place has great food (I suggest the Oysters) and a fun dance floor. Its at the top of the Sir Francis Drake hotel so you get an amazing landscape view of the city. Perfect for dining then dancing.

Really nice, upscale place. Took my wife here for Sundays a drag show. The show was spectacular and the buffet was full of great foods. I,m normally not a fan of buffets as the food tends to sit out for a while, but the buffet is made special for the show so that wasnt a problem. My only complaint was the room temperature. They have a strict dress code (that isnt enforced), but I wore a button up shirt and a jacket, and was a bit uncomfortable. A little air conditioning could really help.

Good Spot for dinner and/or drinks. 180º view of union square. May get buys after 11:30pm

Great place with a great environment, and a great veiw.

Awesome atmosphere with great views and music if you like hip hop. Drinks of course were a little over priced but its the atmosphere you pay for. AMAZING TIMES!

Absolutely Fantastic! The Sundays a Drag Show over Brunch is the best all- you- can- eat- breakfast buffet Ive ever experienced; & I was raised in the Hotel/ Restaurant business. Not only was the food fabulous, extensive, full of variety but was totally top- of- the- line in quality. Bring your appetite!Then, sit back, digest and enjoy the extremely talented and thrilling performance of real San Francisco Royalty: Donna Sachet and her professional Broadway worthy band of performers.Its a guaranteed, not to be forgotten, memory maker full of first class fun; at any price.

Really cool view of the city! The drinks are about what you should expect from a hotel bar, but the bartender and wait staff are super attentive and quick. They also have a monthly cabaret show which is pretty cool and worth every penny. If you can make it, you should go!

Great atmosphere and a killer view! Pregame some place cheap then come drop a small cover to get in. Always a great time! Dress fabulous!

Excellent drinks and a beautiful sight of the city amd Union Sqare all the way to the bay. Cannot recommend the nuts one can order with the drinks. I would go there for a nightly visit.

A good place to grab a few drinks and snacks as the sun goes down with a bunch of friends or just with your partner for a romantic evening.A very limited selection of vegetarian options if you plan to stay for dinner and a dance later.Our dinner was good but nothing out of the ordinary but the location made up for it.

Great rooftop views and Medium sized dance floor.

Great decor and atmosphere. Has a great dance floor and DJ

Good cocktails and a fun place to dance the night away!

Nice view. DJ relatively ok. Expensive.

Cool place! Definitely will be back.

Nice view, strange old fashioned cafe, but still very nice

If the place stayed open pass midnight, they would get 5

Definitely a cool place to hang out the service was very good but it is an old building and we had to wait a long time for the elevator to take us up. Its something to experience in San Francisco if you love Heights and seeing of excellent view of the city you have to see the Starlight Room.

Cool view...decent drinks

Great views of downtown San Francisco, reasonably priced drinks. Enough people there to Be fun without being over crowded. Overall a good stop for a couple hours on night if your in town.

This place is a lot of fun. The drinks are normally pretty average. But, on Sundays if you arrive at certain times which is 10:30 AM or around 1 PM there is a free hilarious drag variety show called Sunday is a Drag. Highly recommend!

Love those SF vibes. Be sure to enjoy the mellow funk jazz while sipping side cars and garden parties skyside.

The bartender is a misanthrope, terrible manhattan. No food - special event. Meh band. No table service.

Very expensive. Even just for drinks and dessert. View is nice though.

Very good views of the city. Good service and great selection of wine and spirits. We enjoyed this stop earlier in the evening so can not comment on after 10pm when it turns into a club. Would recommend that you atleast pop by if this was reccomended to you by someone!

Best place to enjoy ur great moment nice reception great food great service

Great views of the city. Lighting very dim had to use mobile phone light to read menu

Great late night place to visit for drinks and some dancing. Our waiter was very accomodating as well. We had ordered a couple of drinks and for whatever reason, just wasnt what we wanted. Anyhow, 2 drink swaps later, we found our drink. We will be back for sure.

Gorgeous view! The dance floor is fantastic.

We went on a Friday night and it wasn’t too busy which was nice, and like everyone says the view is nice, the cocktails are mediocre and we got there at ten, the kitchen was closed so I can’t comment on the food. The place looks like it needs renovation and it wasn’t clean either even though the rest of the hotel looks great and is well kept. The dj was all over the place and would jump from one song to another every 10 seconds and then switches to a totally different type of music so you couldn’t really get into it.

Amazing historical place

Great food and awesome service

My roommate had her birthday brunch here (for the Sundays a Drag show) and I thought it was a great way to celebrate! The buffet brunch had a good selection. There was bacon, salads, eggs benedict, potatoes, an omelet station, and mini pastries. The drinks, unfortunately, were not a part of the deal. The average price of a cocktail was $11.And I thought the ladies rocked the show! I wish it was longer. As the hostess said, theyve been doing the show for 8 years so theyre doing something right.I should mention that there were 13 of us, so we were charged with a 23% service fee. I thought the standard was 18% for parties over 6... we didnt question it. I do recommend this place, but be sure you have about 4 in your party.

Had a great time here. Great view of the city. Great music. Rocks Saturday at night

Beautiful location ... top of union square... night music

Someone stole our table reservation and I really didnt like the decor or carpet but they were super accommodating and the food was amazing

Nice happy hours with love view of the city

Quirky hotel and quirky interiors. Great views and location. Dance floor has one of the best views in all of sf.

Great place and view

Nice bar with some good ambiance and views of the city

Fun place to dance in the city! Gorgeous view:)

Happy hour! Free wine

Pricey but nice. Its in $$$ category (somehow, listed as $$). Average cocktail is $15. A beer is $8-$9. Light bites were around $14. No cover when I visited. Both food and drinks were very good.

Love this place. Amazing views!

One of the most gorgeous point of view you can get over the city, from the 21st floor.

Cocktail very nice and great views over city.

Great view of the city! Nice place to grab a drink in the evening.

Just love this place... awesome setting and views. Please, NEVER modernise the décor! Fantastic and unique cocktails. Great music - last visit there was live jazz. Couldnt believe my good luck!

Dirty windows so you cant see very well. The servers were just ok and the DJ was obviously from another planet because the music wasnt good either. I am confused about this place. It used to be a great place to bring a date etc etc. Now, the bar downstairs is a better choice. Dissatisfied, disappointed, dumfounded and certainly Doolittled.

Cheap cover and a lot of wide open space to dance and mingle

Ran out of a menu item, not delivered to us, then charged for it. After brining to their attention, they claimed theyd remove it, never did. Very shady business, be warned. Terrible service!

The bar was dark and dingy and actually a bit seedy. Window were filthy, such a shame as it would have amazing views if it was a more inviting environment.

Mathew Stewart. Chil, cozy venue with good eats and a better bar
