Jahaziel Garay, a bartender, purchased Beauty Bar in the Mission District with plans for light renovations, but the project quickly escalated into a major overhaul due to extensive water damage and other issues. Originally opened in 1998, the bar was a beloved local venue known for its unique combination of manicures and martinis, evolving into a hotspot for live DJs and dancing. Garay aims to preserve its retro character, enhance the drink menu, and eliminate past troubles to create an inviting atmosphere for patrons.
As it turned out, a nip and tuck was not sufficient. Garay's plans to paint the place, change the DJ booth, 'make it cute,' and - last but not least - clean the bathrooms spiraled into full-on surgery.
I am honored to be amongst the last to be able to rock the Beauty Bar... Sadly, the end of an era.
