The Gold Dust reborn
Tonight, the Gold Dust Lounge opens its new Fisherman’s Wharf location. The debut marks the end of a long, strange trip for the Gold Dust Lounge, from that fateful day when news broke that the Gold Dust Lounge was being evicted from its Union Square location to its May closure to the birth of its new location.
The new Gold Dust will be formally christened by Mayor Ed Lee and a host of other political dignitaries, a brass band, and because why not, a covered wagon. The bar will open to the public at 8pm tonight, and then again at 4pm on Saturday. From Sunday on, the plan is to have normal hours of 7am-2am.
Take a look around the new digs in the gallery above. Located on Jefferson Street, across the way from Boudin and Alioto’s, it’s three times the size of the original location. That said, they did keep the motif as a whole, as well as details like the ceiling cherubs, Irish coffees and the signature marquee signage.
