Born from a City of Artisans

Cocktails by Scott Baird

Inspired by the city’s icons—gold, fog, cable cars, —the cocktails at Starlite are full of character and wit. San Francisco native Scott Baird, whose name may spark recognition for his creation of Trick Dog, the award-winning cocktail bar in the Mission District, has remixed classic Starlite beverages with beauty, flavor, quirk, and a bit of theater. Take a sip into San Francisco’s history with the Cable Car—Starlite’s version of the Sidecar—or the Porn Star Martini—and embrace the spectacle of an experience with your high-spirited cocktails on the 21st floor.

Menu by Chef Johnny Spero

Created by Michelin-award-winning chef Johnny Spero, the menu of snacks sets the table, complimenting the cocktails and the celebrations of the city’s flavors. The menu includes dishes such as the Hot Fried Chicken Bun inspired by Chef Spero’s exploration of San Francisco’s Chinatown. It’s seasoned with Szechuan spices and pickled daikon and served inside a steam bun. Another love letter to the San Francisco Bay’s affinity for oysters is the Baked Oysters, covered in a sauce made of cider, egg, brown butter, and herbs and topped with bread crumbs.

    "The Best Bars in America 2024" by Esquire

    Starlite gives San Franciscans a reason to ditch their hoodies, dress to the nines, and glam out...You walk the perimeter of the room to take in the sweeping 360 degree views—San Francisco shines and sparkles differently from every angle. You quickly remember why this is the city you love… and you haven’t even had a drink yet. All of the cocktails, designed by industry vet Scott Baird, hit hard; the only issue is figuring out which one you’ll start with, and luckily, you can’t go wrong.

    "As swanky Starlite rooftop bar reopens, SF nightlife stirs back to life" by SF Gate

    Revelers showed up in sequins and fur coats, sipping cocktails on green velvet couches overlooking panoramic views of the city... It felt like a jolt of energy being injected into Union Square... "The Starlight Room was a special occasion place, but it was also a place the regulars came,” Baird said. “So we’re trying to foster that environment. You can come here on a Thursday after work and just have a drink, or on a Saturday for a special occasion."
