Union Street Entertainment Inc. has applied for a Type 47 on-sale general and Type 58 caterer's permit at 1979 Union St. in Cow Hollow, signaling a 50-seat, full-service restaurant concept on one of the city's steadiest dining corridors.

Blue Light has filed for a full-liquor license at 1979 Union Street in San Francisco's Cow Hollow, according to new applications posted by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control on August 4. The operator of record is Union Street Entertainment Inc., which registered with the City at the same address on January 1, 2026.

The application pairs a Type 47 — the state's "On-Sale General – Eating Place" designation, requiring a bona fide kitchen and substantial meal service in exchange for full beer, wine, and spirits privileges — with a Type 58 caterer's permit, which allows qualifying licensees to extend alcohol service to off-site events with per-event ABC authorization. The ABC filing lists 50 seats and a $$$ price point.

A Type 47 application in San Francisco typically takes months to clear the ABC queue and requires local zoning sign-off; the filing is not a confirmed opening date.

Union Street is one of the city's more durable commercial dining corridors. The concept — cuisine type, chef, the space's prior tenant — remains unconfirmed at this stage.
