Perfectly perched on the top floor of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, the Starlight Room is one of San Francisco’s premier nightclubs. Locals and tourists mingle happily, 21 floors above their homes and hotels, sipping on dry martinis and the signature cinnamon rimmed Cable Cars. The red velvet banquettes, plush drapes, and extravagant chandeliers are true 1930s San Francisco. A quintessential hot spot for dinner and dancing, the Starlight Orchestra belts out big band while a DJ spins in between sets. You can indulge in caviar and champagne, but the real reason to be at Harry Denton’s Starlight Room is Harry himself. He will surely be the only tubby, bald man draped in beautiful women. He’s earned his place at a VIP table, defiantly smoking and tossing back drinks without a care. His infectious laughter and personality have earned him a spot as one of the cities most loved locals. Don’t forget to don your best threads; Harry and his friends are dressed to the nines, and even the cocktail waitresses wear formals and gloves.

Great View, Great Staff

"I normally avoid hotel bars (boring), but how can you go wrong? There’s a Beefeater out front and a great view. It did get a bit boring, but when space opened up at the bar we passed a fabulous evening dancing, trying new drinks and visiting with other guests and the fabulous bar staff. The prices were not completely outrageous (coming from Montana, I’ve learned not to expect $2.75 beers anywhere else in the country!). It was a great night and I would definitely stop by again."

Sometimes your nights are special

"I was here for my cousins wedding. They actually roped off part of the room for her wedding, and she and her husband paid for each guests plate herself. That was very generous of her. There were over 200 guests, and I can only imagine what the fianl bill came to. We had a really nice open bar, and all the waiters were very pleasant. For the dancing, there was something a little different this night. She had a hired a live band, too, so instead of DJ we would usually get to see spin here, we had a band. They actaully let her get up on stage and sing 10 songs with them towards the end of the night. You can say that maybe the margaritas were talking at that point. All the same. The staff went out of their way to make her night special. If you ever think you want a hotel wedding, then this place sure does deserve the honors!"

"Nate and I had a lot of fun at Harry Denton’s. Very old school club vibe. There was a good band that night and you can dance with a beautiful view of the city. We were able to be there on a night Harry was there and hang out with him outside on the balcony for a bit. We watched a girl put on quite a show in the hotel across from us. The best part was that I met some lovely girls in the bathroom who told me they were call girls. I had never met a call girl before. No wonder they were with those old men at the bar."
