Monarch

The bar and lounge are cool and the drinks are decent, but the key is the basement dancefloor with its insanely good sound system and underground vibe. It's everything that an urban club should be. Read more

Sometimes there's acrobats hanging from the ceiling, most of the time it's people trying to dance on the floor and not doing great.

Upper floor is beautifully decorated and ideal for chilled drinks , chatting and shaking to the music . Lower floor is more club atmosphere with payed entry and its great for dancing .

Inventive cocktails , plush couches , live jazz and a contortionist spinning from a hoop suspended above the bar , nice! http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/monarch

Bar on top, club down below, with some of the best electronic music and DJs in the city . A very good place to start your night before going on to Public Works.

Nice bar and club with a free photo booth and some awesome dj bookings . WERD on Sunday is a lot of fun. Get a sazerac from the bar at the back

Fantastic live acrobatics . Upstairs has two bars , while downstairs is a club with a fantastic Void speaker system.

The sound system is great! Despite the fact event are down in the basement , ventilation keeps the place very cool. A must

One of the best music spots in the City

Burnery. Drink something upstairs and then dance in the basement .

Try a specialty cocktail . They take a minute to make, but they're always well worth the wait.

Good spot to get a nice drink after a show at the Warfield .

The focus is on quality music and having a really nice vibe. "We wanted hi-fidelity sound on steroids" ~ Chris Smith (Owner)

The upstairs is nice, but the party is in the basement . Killer tight chunky sound system and a great crowd gettin' funky!

OMG!!super nice music !! Gotta go there all the time.

A nice sized club offering compartments for different music tastes...

The Rickshaw: shochu , st germain elderflower, liqueur grapefruit . Amazingness.

Great music , fun venue.

The atmosphere and music is really nice

Delicious whiskey cocktails .

Free La Palma's Tamales on Tuesday during happy hour ! Hella good.

Minimal and techno fans don't eat. They dance !

They literally took my beer from my hands because... Ups they never explained!!! And yes, security involved. What you are looking from any club when you pay them right?

Stand in the Gauntlet of Sound (the middle of the dancefloor) and FEEL the music .

The only custom horn-loaded Void Acoustics soundsystem on the west coast

Waited 20 min for drinks AFTER reaching the bar (bartender served everyone TWICE in the < 25 space; upstairs , back bar ). Weird - or sexist? (We were the only all-girls group).

Overrated area crawling with homeless guys and hipsters

Behind the bar and downstairs are awesome!

Try the 'Ferdinand the Bull '- awesome tequila drink!

No arguments, what ever it takes, Have A GREAT TIME.....SIMPLE I know, so smile

Best club in the city

Its a fucked up place. I got thrown out with my friends because we had not finished our drinks by 2.00 complete motherfuckers

Pisco sour pls:)

Don't even consider hanging upstairs . It's just a facade...

Sometimes, upstairs is where it's at.

Order Tadd.s whiskey sour . Its super dee-lish!!!

STAB CITY ! Go somewhere - anywhere - else for a cocktail .

Nice bar/club

Try brandy crusta - it's superbbbbb

Stretch Sundays!!!

Go downstairs

There is NOT live Jazz music here. Not even close. Staff was nice, but it was just a little bar . The area was not the safest.

Stop here for a drink on your way to the Warfield
