As Stephen Curry gears up for his 17th NBA season with the Golden State Warriors, the four-time champion is making waves off the court with a bold new venture: a bourbon bar in the heart of San Francisco. The highly anticipated Eighth Rule, a sophisticated speakeasy, opens its doors on Friday, October 10, at the iconic Westin St. Francis hotel in Union Square. This venture, a collaboration with celebrity chef Michael Mina for his acclaimed Bourbon Steak restaurant, showcases Curry’s entrepreneurial flair and his growing whiskey empire with his brand, Gentleman’s Cut.
The buzz around the bar’s grand opening comes amidst a whirlwind of attention for Curry’s wife, Ayesha, who recently sparked controversy on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Ayesha candidly revealed, “I didn’t want kids. I didn’t want to get married… I thought I was going to be ‘career girl’ and that’s it.” The comment ignited a firestorm on social media, but Ayesha brushed off the backlash with grace. In her first Instagram post since the controversy, she shared a heartwarming family photo featuring Steph and their four children, with 1-year-old Cai stealing the spotlight. The image radiated unity and love, subtly silencing the critics.

Undeterred, Ayesha is standing firmly by her husband’s side as he launches Eighth Rule. She took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone, writing, “I always wanted to marry a bourbon man. @the8thrule bourbon-inspired speakeasy opens October 10th in SF! I am so proud of you @stephencurry30!” Accompanying the post was a stunning photo of Ayesha in a fiery red gown next to Steph, exuding elegance and confidence. The image captured their unbreakable bond and shared ambition.
In a clever nod to his wife, Gentleman’s Cut commented, “Behind every gentleman is a great woman,” a subtle yet powerful show of support amid the ongoing social media storm. Steph was spotted riding a cable car to Union Square to check on the bar’s final preparations, a moment that underscored his hands-on approach to this passion project.
As Eighth Rule prepares to welcome guests, the Currys remain a dynamic duo, blending business savvy with family-first values. With Ayesha’s radiant presence and Steph’s star power, the grand opening promises to be a night to remember. Stay tuned for more from this power couple as they continue to make headlines in San Francisco and beyond.
