  • 1015 Folsom
    [Map]
    1015 Folsom (at Sixth St.)
    San Francisco, CA 94103
    415-431-1200
    http://www.1015.com
    A central hub of S.F.'s dance scene, 1015 boasts three enormous dance floors, an internationally renowned roster of DJs, and a guaranteed late-night party. Experimental DJ sets in the basement are a treat for heavy listeners, while the masses rage to more standard house, hi-NRG, and techno fare on the main level.
  • 111 Minna Gallery
    [Map]
    111 Minna (at Second St.)
    San Francisco, CA 94105
    415-974-1719
    http://www.111minnagallery.com
    An art gallery/nightclub/bar, this place shows films, hosts DJs, gets people drunk -- all in a sleek (read: Make sure you dress up) atmosphere where pretty people come to play.
  • 1300 on Fillmore
    [Map]
    1300 Fillmore (at Eddy)
    San Francisco, CA 94115
    415-771-7100
    http://www.1300fillmore.com
  • 26 Mix
    [Map]
    3024 Mission (at 26th St.)
    San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-826-7378
    For when you want to lounge and for when you want to dance, 26 Mix has the best of both worlds. Its bar/lounge area thrives as a colorful spot to chill, while the dance floor and back room help release any pent-up energy.
  • 330 Ritch
    [Map]
    330 Ritch (at Townsend)
    San Francisco, CA 94107
    902-3125
    http://www.330ritch.com
    The former apex of the early '90s acid-jazz scene is now home to the long-running indie-pop weekly "Popscene" as well as salsa and hip-hop nights. Delicious food, dancing, and pool make this dark alley hideaway a hip hangout for the city's young and fabulous.
  • 440 Castro
    [Map]
    440 Castro (at Market)
    San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-621-8732
    http://www.the440.com
    It's a leather/bear/rough-trade kind of place for the older and manly kind of gay -- one of the last standing relics of the Castro's bygone days. Its Thursday weekly "CDXL," however, has the too-cool kids tearing the place apart to mash-up and disco beats.
  • Abbey Tavern
    [Map]
    4100 Geary (at Fifth Ave.)
    San Francisco, CA 94118
    415-221-7767
    http://www.abbeytavern-sf.com
    This Irish sports bar in the Inner Richmond features live DJs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. A mixture of pop, rock, ’80s, and dance music caters to a mostly collegiate crowd.
  • The Ambassador
    [Map]
    673 Geary (at Leavenworth)
    San Francisco, CA 94102
    415-563-8192
    http://www.ambassador415.com
    Monday to Saturday 6 p.m.-2 a.m.
  • Amber
    [Map]
    718 14th St. (at Church)
    San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-626-7827
    The inviting, down-to-earth vibe of this place attracts local restaurant/bar workers to unofficial '80s, honky-tonk, and punk rock nights. Enjoy a Sidecar or an Amber Cocktail in the lounge-y barroom, which -- shhh! -- is one of the few spots in the city where you can still smoke.
  • Amnesia
    [Map]
    853 Valencia (at 20th St.)
    San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-970-0012
    http://www.amnesiathebar.com
    Dark red, hypnotic light helps this tiny bar live up to its name, and its tall stage features everything from ’20s-themed nights and rock to big-band jazz and experimental electronica.
  • Ana Mandara
    [Map]
    891 Beach (at Polk)
    San Francisco, CA 94109
    415-771-6800
    http://www.anamandara.com
  • Annie's Social Club
    [Map]
    917 Folsom (at Fifth St.)
    San Francisco, CA 94107
    415-974-1585
    http://www.anniessocialclub.com
    With more red and black accents than a deck of cards, Annie's is a surprisingly clean and colorful hotbed of punk rock. People can debate until dawn whether or not the venue — which lived previous lives as the Covered Wagon (a grubby hardcore saloon) and the Cherry Bar (a debauched lesbian sweatbox) — was better in earlier incarnations, but one fact remains indisputable: If you crave underground punk and heavy metal, Annie's holds a central position in the current San Francisco pantheon. As if that weren't enough, the photo booth, pool table, and "Punk Rock 'n' Schlock" karaoke den offer extra distractions between bands.
  • Anú
    [Map]
    43 Sixth St. (at Mission)
    San Francisco, CA 94103
    415-543-3505
    http://www.anu-bar.com
    Low lighting, lounge seating, and the freshest electronica DJs rank Anú as a bona fide hot spot, despite its somewhat seedy location. Just be sure to try the bartenders' favorite cocktail, the Pink Bird.
  • AsiaSF
    [Map]
    201 Ninth St. (at Howard)
    San Francisco, CA 94103
    415-255-2742
    http://www.asiasf.com
    Although DJs at AsiaSF draw from a booming mix of R&B, house, salsa, and pop while the chefs serve up tasty treats, it's the "gender illusionists" -- the cross-dressing waitstaff -- who rank this inclusive, friendly restaurant as a swanky gay and lesbian hangout.
  • Atlas Cafe
    [Map]
    3049 20th St. (at Alabama)
    San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-648-1047
    http://www.atlascafe.net
    On Thursday nights and Saturday afternoons live music takes over this neighborhood coffee and herbivore-friendly sandwich shop, filling the place (and the inviting patio area) with a rotating array of the sounds of Americana, from blues to ragtime.
  • The Attic
    [Map]
    3336 24th St. (at Mission)
    San Francisco, CA 94110
    415-643-3376
    The grittiness of your favorite dive bar and the sounds of your favorite DJ combine to create a great Mission District spot that transcends all trends.
  • Aunt Charlie's Lounge
    [Map]
    133 Turk (at Taylor)
    San Francisco, CA 94102
    415-441-2922
    http://www.auntcharlieslounge.com
    Boys, girls -- what's the diff? Guys become gals as part of Aunt Charlie's "Hot Boxx Girls" lip-sync show every Friday and Saturday night. Plus, "Tubesteak" is a favorite among the younger, insouciant crowd.
  • Azul
    [Map]
    1 Tilman (at Sutter)
    San Francisco, CA 94108
    415-362-9750
    http://www.azul-sf.com
    Whether the music is Latin jazz or beat-bottom DJs, weekends transform Azul from weekday laid-back lounge to swank hot spot.
  • Badlands
    [Map]
    4121 18th St. (at Castro)
    San Francisco, CA 94114
    415-626-9320
    http://www.sfbadlands.com
    Out-of-towners coming to the Castro will always need a garish watering hole in which to dance and get trashed. Badlands is that place. The beats are strictly uncomplicated club hits and Top 40, and the diva-heavy videos are always amusing if not predictable. Locals, however, tend to steer clear of the venue because of recent accusations of racial discrimination by some of its former clientele.
  • Bamboo Hut
    [Map]
    479 Broadway (at Kearny)
    San Francisco, CA 94133
    415-989-8555
    http://www.maximumproductions.com/
    Full-on tropical décor and a full-on complement of tropical drinks make the Bamboo Hut a top-notch tiki bar. The Mai Tais flow on karaoke Wednesdays, but you'll have to pay $5 on Fridays and Saturdays to swing to the eclectic DJs.
