Ready to explore the newest restaurant and retail additions to Union Square? From a "fern bar" with a modern twist to a brick-and-mortar store stocking all your favorite online brands, read on for a list of the newest destinations to open in this part of San Francisco.
Nightingale Bar
239 Kearny St.
Nightingale is the newest bar from Future Bars, which also owns Bourbon & Branch, Local Edition and Rickhouse, among other SF bars. It's intended to be a modern spin on a '70s "fern bar," with Tiffany lampshades, quirky wallpaper, and of course, plenty of greenery.
The cocktail menu ($7-12) includes creations like the 100% That Bird (a sparkling draft cocktail featuring vodka, agave and Lillet Blanc) and the nitro-infused Nightingale Cold Brew, with vodka and espresso liqueur. Beer, wine and bowls of punch are also available, as is a large menu of non-alcoholic cocktails.
Nightingale currently holds four stars out of six reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.
Yelper Paul M., who reviewed Nightingale on Dec. 28, wrote, "What a great bar. Brand new, with living plants and a great vibe. Bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Creative drinks and reasonable prices."
Nightingale is open from 2 p.m.–2 a.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m.–2 a.m. on Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
Flybird
35 Kearny St.
Opened by the team behind local pita bar chain Sababa, Flybird is a fast-casual eatery specializing in fried chicken sandwiches and salads. Try the Classic sandwich, topped with slaw and house ranch, or the Korean-inspired Seoul Food sandwich, made with pickled daikon, sesame mayo and pepper sauce. Each sandwich can be paired with fries or a chocolate chip cookie.
Flybird's cutlets are also available atop a selection of five different salads, including Greek, Caesar and the Indian-inspired New Delhi salad. For those who don't eat chicken, sweet potatoes can be substituted in any dish.
Flybird is off to a promising start with four stars out of 63 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper Athena C., who reviewed the eatery on Dec. 18, wrote, "I love fried chicken, and I was drawn in quickly."
Sean G. added, "The sandwiches are tasty and satisfying while not being overly expensive."
Flybird is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on weekdays. (It's closed on weekends.)
