Warehouse-y, cool club vibe. The upstairs offers two alternative hangouts to the main floor, including a cool and cozy dancefloor with its own bar . There's ample outdoor space and an art gallery , too. Read more

Great club! Great sound! Make sure you check the calendar; they're frequently closed, not playing music I want to hear, or hosting private events . I've only been there by invitation.

Alex Dobyan

Phenomenal venue - something new around every corner. Upstairs floor just sounds good - it's very resonant so even punchy bass is incredibly warm.

Benson Bleier

Great sound system and solid bookings . Would love this place if the crowds on the weekends weren't so douchy.

Mo Kudeki

Go to the birdcage upstairs upstairs and make out

Great sound, great music , but horrible crowd management. Had to wait 10 minutes to get a beer . The club is completely filled that it's nearly impossible to move.

The Treehouse @ Public Works

It's surprisingly small, so I got to see two of my favorite artists in an attic-like room of ~150 people, which is special in a big city. Cramped, but in an intimate way. Literally has a treehouse. - Sarah Norris

Odd Salon

On warm days, dress for a ridiculously hot upstairs. Air circulation is poor and the Salon is standing room only. If pizza isn't your thing, the SoMa StrEat Food Park up the street is excellent. - MizLit
