The best soundsystem for DJs and electronic music. Lots of areas to hide, play, and gossip in.
Great soundsystem. Works well for performers with a lot of visuals. Monica Blasthaus brings quite a few acts here.
Has its ups and downs, but keeps punching out a few great club nights every year. Three separate dance areas, multiple DJS.
Because Ruby Skye can skew "douche-y" the slightly less "douche-y" downtown option is Vessel. Intimate and truly underground.
Key club nights here. The home club of DJ Earworm. Underground in the clandestine sense - it feels like the bottom of the earth. Bassy sound system and nice art on the walls. Other visuals lacking.
Popscene SF lives here. Great residents. Presents lots of live electronic bands, too. Excellent lighting. Take a photo in one of the Rickshaws!
Thursdays and Sundays this place is packed with gay cowboys (no foolin') every other night it is fair game for promoters who bring their favorite raver DJs. Especially popular on holidays.
Super fun. You can eat dinner in bed here on chill out on groovy couches or sidle up to the red red bar in the foyer. Hosts lots of performance and fashion/cosplay.
Was a gay bathhouse in the 70s and still has a "secret community" vibe going on. Too dependent on promoters. They need some internal programming and an appeal to employed creative types.
