“You can't miss this EDM venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2016

For EDM lovers, this is the place to go. The bass is strong as it beats through your body.The lighting are miraculously arranged to up and down your mood. Two stories, at least three bars. For popular events, come here one hour before midnight as they may run out of cloth hangs

“John askew, Eddie Bitar, Arctic moon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2016 via mobile

We had won free guest list through Eddie bitar so we flew for a round trip just to catch his show! Never been to this venue before but I have to say it is a must stop if you are visiting San Francisco! Casual dress attire, security are friendly and inviting. Everyone who I encountered at this club was very... More

“Tickets Online!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2015

I have been here a few times, and only ever for a DJ I know. I never come here as a standard club as it's not the best place I've been. First off if it is a big name DJ you can usually get your tickets online for about HALF the price of tickets at the door. Buy in advance,... More

“Good music too many dudes”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2015 via mobile

Dj nelix was off the hook. The environment was rad. But way too many dudes up in that place. It was a younger crowd and they were underdressed.

“Good Views, Drinks, and Music”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2015

This is a good night club in San Francisco with nice views as well. The stage, lighting and sound are good. The drinks were good. Appetizers are also tasty. Their web site is a good place to find out who is playing when.

“worth a try”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2014

Although I have mixed feelings about my experience there, I do remember leaving the place with satisfaction. It is a casual club with no dress codes imposed with a decent dance floor. I felt the drinks were a bit pricey. Party on weekends goes on until early hours and the atmosphere only gets energetic by the hour. I wouldn't say... More
