I've been here for an investor meeting and a dinner. Crazy that this place does both. Its old and…read morethere is rickety woodwork everywhere. I dont think there are any fire suppression sprinklers so if this thing catches I think it's toast. Also if there were an earthquake the wooden support beams they've nailed after the fact to hold things up in the ceiling seem like potential head smashers. I guess that's all part of the charm right?

This review is for Janette Najar. Janette was our "wedding planner" which is comical because she…read moredidn't plan anything. Not only that, but she could never remember the date of our wedding, tried to change the date of our wedding, and also tried to change the time of our wedding less than a week before our wedding. She brought in the board of the Forest Hill Association to intimidate and try to convince me that a time change was necessary. I was not having it. I gave her explicit instructions on what to do when (because she wasn't capable of creating an itinerary) and she couldn't even follow what I provided to her. Chairs were missing, the wrong plates were set out, it was incredibly unprofessional and disappointing. The Forest Hill Clubhouse is a lovely venue but Janette is incapable, misguided and clearly the result of someone landing in a job they're not qualified to fulfill. I wholeheartedly DO NOT recommend working with Janette.

This place is good... Having a huge party than can fit 150 to 300 heads. The city has a new rule,…read moreso be specific on what hours you want when renting this. They will open the doors on the hour you rented it, so if you need time to decorate add another hour which will also include $75 for the hourly payment & $50 for changing, you only get charge 50 if you change it within a few days of your event. All in all, doing this can cost you alot!!!

Inside is spacious. Large stage, open kitchen, fridge. Small windows which was a problem coz the room was warm. Opened one window and it wasn't enough to let cool air in. After the party was over, cleaning was easy. Never seen before, the plus was all tables and chairs broken down and stacked into a large drawer under the stage. That was cool. Anyway, I can say this place is good for maybe under 100 guests... slimly.

I had my baby shower here in November, and I could not have been happier. The price to rent this as an event space is very affordable and it was easy to book, given that the date that you desire is available. Their website is very informative with nice photos and easy instructions for booking, including their policies and what's included. I recommend this place to anyone looking for and affordable and charming venue to host under 100 people. The only improvement that I wish is the parking situation, it's in a suburban neighborhood where a street parking can be limited, especially on nice days where you have to compete for parking with fishermen and people going to the beach nearby.

My sister and I rented the Lake Merced Boathouse for our mother's celebration of life. I had been…read morethere several times before for events and a family member's engagement party. I think it is Park & Rec's nicest event space. The best part about this venue is the view of the lake, second - the ample parking and ease of getting in and out of the area. There is one large room for rent and an adjacent room that can be added for extra space. We rented both spaces and it was pretty affordable. With the cost of the rental, you get to use the tables and chairs. However, you are also responsible for your own set up and take down of everything at your event. So if you don't have a set up crew, you will need one. Make sure to allow extra time on your rental for this. In addition to the two rooms, there is an entrance hall that we set up with photos, flowers and sign in table. There are men's and women's restrooms and a catering kitchen with fridge, freezer, sink and ice maker. There are no ovens, microwaves or any heating appliances available. There is no wifi available, bring your own hot spot if needed. That being said, it was a beautiful event and on a sunny day, the sun glistens off the lake in a golden hue and just sets the scene for any event.

The main room was recently renovated and could occupy 125 people. There was a caterer's kitchen set up area and well maintained bathrooms for the guests. Parking was ample and access to the freeway was easy. The space rented from the SF Parks and Rec Department so I was told that the price for the space given the views are reasonable. Definitely a good venue for the views, location and price.

The DJ was on point, and all of the food stands were quite delicious! And the place itself? MASSIVE. The ceilings were high, and the architecture was a marvel to look at. There was a separate area I stepped through to get to the bathroom, and that was really nice too. It was a sit-down restaurant setup. But this work party experience? I'll never forget it, and I'd recommend it as a venue for anyone who wants to put a dope party together.

It was really nice to see the sunlight come through on the daytime with the open roof concept. The music was a lovely experience as well. I really enjoyed it. Given how packed it was, I stood the entire time, even though I had gotten there probably 15 minutes before the show started. There was a huge line for the coffee when I arrived that didn't let up until halfway through the show. They are doing this again in September and I would recommend if you are in the area. The only thing that would have made it better would have been less people given the amount of chatter and distraction of people walking by. I'm curious as to what this venue looks like in other set ups and at different times of the day because it is beautiful, what a nice spot in San Francisco.
