Hayes Valley is home to the unique bar and eatery, Noir Lounge. Inspired by the film noir era and its dark and obscure charm, Noir Lounge pays homage to the era by keeping thoughtful selections of black and white 1940’s films screening on a loop throughout the space. Upon entry through large wooden doors, guests are overtaken by the lounge’s shadowy persona. The motif is perpetuated by gray paint and wallpaper, dim lamps and lush velvet curtains. A large ceiling dome looms over the bar which serves a variety of beers and wines on tap as well as a range of spirits. The back of the lounge serves as a theater room and there is assorted lounge furniture where the main feature screening takes place. Though cozy, the space can accommodate private parties seeking an intimate setting. Food is available as well with numerous and diverse options such as various types of sliders, mixed salads, bruschetta, and heavier entrees like house-made Bolognese, lasagna, and Margherita flatbread.
