The Clift’s famous and historic Redwood Room has been restored and reinvented as an exceptionally modern San Francisco bar. Suffused with glamour and Art Deco style, the interior features the original redwood paneling which, legend has, was carved from a single redwood tree, as well as an enormous bar made from an 800-year-old redwood tree. The original artwork on the walls by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt was restored and re-hung.
On December 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment was adopted, repealing the 18th Amendment, which had outlawed the sale, transport and manufacture of “intoxicating liquors.” The very next day, on December 6, 1933, The Clift’s iconic Redwood Room opened to great acclaim. The now legal speakeasy was an immediate hit with everyone from local residents to national celebrities, due to the moody atmosphere, creative cocktails, dramatic redwood paneling, and eclectic mix of patrons.
The intimate art deco-inspired Redwood Room is a San Francisco institution, newly infused with 21st-century elegance. Its glamour and subdued atmosphere are unsurpassed in the city, made more unique by the paneling that is said to have been carved from a single redwood tree. The etched glass bar, Starck-designed lounge furnishings and always rotating digital artwork were (and still are) the talk of the neighborhood.
Today, Redwood Room continues to be a hub for San Franciscans and visitors alike.
