Cold beverages, tasty app's and good jukebox

by mark

We went to the Blue Light the other night with co-workers after work. Always a fun time. We sampled various app's all which were tasty and the Fat Tire's were ice cold. Also, the juke box has a large variety of tunes which is great. They've added a Wi game in the back which seemed very popular.

Great Service, Great Fun and Very Client Focused

by careyonmyson

I have been here a few times and each time it is a very fun and very different experience. The one thing I do like as that even when the bartenders are slammed, they still make certain to take a look around and see if you are running low on your beverages.

They are so accommodating that one time, one of the bartenders- Lance knew I was driving some friends and offered me coffee since I wasn't drinking that night but he wanted to make sure I was having a good time.

Next time I go back I am making sure someone else drives so I can really enjoy myself.

• Pros: Nice decor and very comfortable. Not a boring, nasty ordinary bar but one with charm
• Cons: Gets pretty busy so make sure you are ready to get cozy with your neighbor (not always a bad thing)

Favorite late night hang out

by DeBritton

I make the Blue Light a regular stop on my late night tour of the city. The bartenders and staff are always very friendly and concerned that you don't leave without having a good drink or story! It isn't trendy; it just has that neighborhood bar feel to it unlike many others on Union Street. The food is good, there's always great music playing and on the weekend you can dance in the back! This bar is a regular meeting place for me and my friends as it is comfortable and close to many other destinations we like to frequent!

• Pros: Very friendly people
• Cons: Parking - except for late night

Neighborhood institution! Great place to meet friends!

by jillmattperry

Visiting San Francisco from New York for the first time in a few years,

I went to the neighborhood Blue Light, a staple in the Marina, which

welcomes everyone! The menu is simple but delicious....something for

everyone. The bartenders remain the best in the city. Drinks are strong.

Prices are reasonable and I don't feel like I get that yuppie attitude.

Friendly atmosphere will definitely have me back again.

• Pros: No attitude. Menu has something for everyone. Great happy hour.
• Cons: Can get crowded late night

Hottest bartender on Tues

by macel

I met the most wonderful and hansom bartender Elliot. He is a perfect fit for the taco tuesday craze that happens every week. He will be a star in this town for years to come...

• Pros: Elliot the bartender
• Cons: the crowds

Best Place to Chill

by bpax

I think blue light is one of the best bars in SF. The wait staff never seems to let me down. If I order a beer they usually ask me, "what kind?" Isn't that great? I met my wife at blue light in 05 so I always feel like I should drop a huge tip when I order there tacos on tuesdays. My wife orders SIX! She needs to cut back but they're so good! I always like to liven up the dance floor when I hear the dj play hits like 2pac and John Denver. That's where I met my wife by the way, she was on the dance floor dressed as a naughty nurse. But don't worry it was Halloween. I love Blue Light...see you there!

• Pros: Cheap Drinks
• Cons: It gets hot when it's hot

The Blue Light

by rosylyn

Whether it is in the beginning of the night or the end, I always seems to have a great time here. I love Tuesdays and recently our group has started going in on weekends. There always seem to be attractive men around...which is good for us. I love the beers on tap-always cold-and actually the drinks are the cheapest in the area. It is a great deal for food & cocktails. Afternoons are great too & Super Bowl should be a blast. Hope to see you there!

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great staff, attractive interior
• Cons: parking

Taco Tuesdays!

by ukgrad04

The chicken tacos are the best! Service is fast and friendly, even when it's packed! The only drawback, only one stall in the ladies restroom, but, the wait's not too bad.

• Pros: Service, Staff
• Cons: restroom
