"Worst place I’ve genuinely ever been to and I didn’t even go inside"
"Lighting was cheat and constantly on strobe setting"
"The most decent techno club in SF"
"This was one of the worst club experiences I've had to date"
"Would have given lower than 1 star if I could"
Worst place I’ve genuinely ever been to and I didn’t even go inside. After waiting in line the bouncer told me to go back and pay the cover charge. All I did was ask how much it was and they grabbed my hair and threw me. Straight up assaulted me for no reason. I didn’t put a hand on them and never would. They were so aggressive and pulled a taser out on me and my friend and threatened to taser us. No one around helped in anyway. I was attacked at this club by a person that works there because they were on a power trip. I was also much smaller than them and was in no way a threat. They should be fired but the club couldn’t care less. By all means do not go here. This is also the first review I’ve ever written…I would never take the time to write this if it wasn’t such a bad situation and honestly pretty scary. Giving this place even one star is hard for me to do.
Lighting was cheat and constantly on strobe setting. Zero deco. My friends and I sat at a booth that had no "reserved" sign or was blocked off in anyway. A *couple hours* after being in this spot, a group of people aggreively told us we needed to leave the booth or we would be ejected from the club entirely. Turns out this was the owner threatening to eject us, paying customers. A word of advice to the owner: just put a "reserved" sign up if something is off limits. There's no way we could have known which areas were vip in a one room club without clear indicators. There's a much more tactful way to inform your paying customers of your unspoken rules - mistakes happen and there's no reason to be that inflammatory.

The most decent techno club in SF. The venue occasionally books great international techno acts. They have to get rid of the scrawny, 90 pound, 5 foot something Gen Z security though. They drink beer on the job, look bored af watching the time and are passive aggressive, sarcastic. The little security guy at the front door all night checking bags was an ignorant, rude, sarcastic, smart @$$ at the 7/29/2023 event. I suggest the management teach the security crew hospitality and customer service. The crowd is mostly beta, tech nerds who just discovered dance music and annoyingly “woot, woot” to beat drops. They also need to use deodorant. Cringe.

This was one of the worst club experiences I've had to date. Music and lighting were cool but the bouncer was extremely aggressive and rude for no reason. Major vibe kill before we even entered. With the 7:1 ratio of men to women not exactly a place where I as a woman felt safe, was being followed and harassed literally from every angle. The fog machine caused both me and my friend to lose our voices and have really bad asthma for days after the event. Overall would not recommend if you're trying to have a really good & memorable night.

Would have given lower than 1 star if I could. Rude Bouncer, terrible drinks, terrible sound system, unnecessary loud, terrible music, terrible fog machine. Had a bad feeling when the bouncer was rude to my friends who were from out of town. The drinks were so bad that no one could finish their drink. It tasted awful. The sound was unnecessarily loud and made the beats unenjoyable. The fog machine was used way too much made everyone sick the other day. DO NOT GO.

Worst club in SF! Absolutely avoid at all costs. Staff is rude! The crowd is unruly and cheap. Women get hit on and groped incessantly. Doesn’t feel like a safe space at all. Bartenders are RUDE and won’t even give you water after 2am, unless you want to buy overpriced bottled water. Vibe, lighting and sound is C- Gave this place a lot of chances, but never ever coming back, no matter who the artist is. Don’t waste your money and your mental peace.

Great venue except the fog machine going off every 5 mins. Love the visuals and lights, also couldn’t see them very well because of all the fog. Pretty much the whole experience was great except the fog, it was just overkill. There are other reviews on here about pick pocketing being an issue here. I can totally see how easy they make it with the fog machine. Coughed for a solid bit after leaving. So overall great experience except maybe less fog and more cowbell.
One star is generous. We only went here to avoid the line at Audio and the colder weather. It felt extremely unsafe once inside. Why? Because there was a man in the women’s bathroom trying to get into multiple women’s stalls and was trying to grope one and would not get out. We were finally able to get the right people involved to remove him but as a woman, i’d advise other women not to go.

The music is good, lights are awesome. Opens a little longer than most places. But what hurts me is they used to have free water to drink and they started monetizing it now. I understand that. But it’s their own brand and freakin $7-8 for a small water bottle. You will need at least 2 of them. Now that’s a soulless and greedy thing to do. In long term, I think it will hurt the vibe of the place.
Awesome dance club showcasing DJ’s from around the world. Door staff are friendly and efficient. Apple Pay accepted at the bar making it easy and secure. Bar staff are also friendly and efficient. No longer a Dolby Atmos club but still a great sound. DJ’s listed on the website typically have a SoundCloud page so you can check them out to determine if you want to catch their set.
Horrible experience. Lady in box office scammed my friends by overcharging them. I paid $15 while they paid double the amount per entrance. She accepted cash or Venmo, which is not normal for an established business. She might be pocketing some of the money.

***BEWARE OF VIOLENT SECURITY GUARDS***Do not go to this club. I was assaulted by a crazy security guard and the bar did nothing. The police investigated and the club hid evidence. You are employing dangerous individuals and you should be shut down due to your criminal negligence.

I've only been here a few times now but, compared to Audio next door or the others it felt way way less crowded. Some of you may prefer the packed vibe but not me, the music was fire and we had space to f'n jam out and get drinks when we wanted them so, that's huge for me. Otherwise sound quality is solid, overall it's cool!
The worst club in San Franscisco. We arrived at the place to celebrate my birthday and 5 minutes later they stole a camera from me, we quickly went to the exit to tell the guard who sent us inside ignoring us. After that they robbed a girl who was next to us. very ugly environment
The tall black lady who works outside here is so rude !! The other reviews are right, why do she attack us and make us feel negative and bad for no reason? Me and my girls could not even enjoy the night after with her. Never again coming to this terrible place until she's gone
Great little venue, Mikey the owner was very nice and was working coat check! Makes for a trustworthy place to leave your jackets and have a good time. Good music, friendly bartenders. Looie pours a nice size shot ;) Would go again.
GINA it was a pleasure to meet you! Your staff is courteous patient humble from your bartender's from your bar backs from your security you got your s*** on LOCK! I will come here again thank you! KEEP VIBING ❤️ …
We come here often. One of the best clubs in San Francisco. Everyone from the Bouncer to the Bartender are all cool. They always have the best House music.

Worst experience ever. All my friends and I got sick right after due to continuous fog and smoke from their fog machine. Super loud music and frequent use of flickering lights was annoying.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! My phone got stolen here. Lots of phone covers found outside later in the night. Looks like this is pretty normal here based on the other reviews I just read. SO PLEASE BEWARE
Adam Beyer last night: everything was perfect except for they totally oversold the place. It was insanely crowded. Just for that, I'll seriously reconsider ever going again. That was ridiculous.
Staff was kind and attentive never had to wait too long for service even when the main act was performing.

terrible TERRIBLE security bouncer harassed my friend. yanked her by the hair because she asked where to pay the cover fee- completely unprovoked. Unsafe, do not go here.
I used to love this Club, but now there ask for $100 p.P. entrance after 2am.

The security lady was rude and the place looked shady. The bartenders were nice and thier service is good. Not a best place to party on a weekend.
The lighting and sound is awesome to watch your favorite DJ!
