Stephen Curry’s resume is already the stuff of legend. A four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, and perennial All-Star, he remains one of the most respected and recognizable players in basketball history.
As he enters his 17th NBA season, anticipation is high for what else he might accomplish on the court. Curry finished the 2024-25 season averaging 24.5 points, 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 70 games, and led the Golden State Warriors to the second round of the playoffs.
But Curry’s ambitions stretch far beyond basketball. Over the past few years, he has built a growing presence in business, media, and hospitality, establishing himself as one of the most versatile figures in sports today.
Off the court, Curry’s latest venture is drawing significant attention. He has partnered with celebrity chef Michael Mina to open Bourbon Steak in San Francisco, along with a speakeasy-style bourbon bar called The Eighth Rule inside the Westin St. Francis. The intimate, reservations-only venue is built around Curry’s Gentleman’s Cut bourbon brand, marking his first brick-and-mortar hospitality project and a major step in his post-playing career vision.
On Thursday, Curry’s wife, Ayesha, celebrated the launch, posting photos of the event on Instagram with a heartfelt message to her husband.
“I always wanted to marry a bourbon man. @the8thrule bourbon inspired speakeasy opens October 10th in SF! I am so proud of you @stephencurry30 !”
A few moments later, Steph responded in the comments, “My woman!!!”
Their public interactions have long reflected mutual admiration—Ayesha has often celebrated Steph’s achievements just as he has supported her own ventures in food, media, and wellness.
Ayesha and Steph’s relationship has been a visible partnership since their early days together. Married since 2011, they have built a family, raised children in the spotlight, and consistently uplifted one another’s ambitions. Ayesha’s previous collaborations in the restaurant industry, including International Smoke with Mina, paved the way for this moment. Now, she’s celebrating what may be one of the couple’s biggest joint achievements yet.
The launch represents another milestone in their shared journey. As fans and peers celebrate the move, it is latest show of how Steph and Ayesha have continued to expand their influence on and off the court, while strengthening a partnership that has become one of the most admired in sports and entertainment.
