    Amazing service. So much seating, great lighting, beautiful venue all around!! The drinks were strong but not so strong that it hurt. They were delicious! The special was an apricot martini among a couple of other drinks, and it was great. I would for sure come here again with some friends or my husband.

    It's been a while since I've been to Monroe, and it was just as I remember it and did not disappoint! There was a long line on a Friday night, and my friends and I were able to get in after 15 minutes of waiting around 12:30AM. It was a night crowded as usual, but thankfully not enough to be blocking the bar space. I felt like they were slightly cutting back on the alcohol when I ordered my drinks and it was a bit more on the pricier side. However, the music for the night was great, and I loved the selection of 90s and 2000s throwbacks! The crowd was friendly and fun!

    Me and my mans and our good friend!!

    I have so many happy memories here, and deeply appreciate the convergence of local musicians, industry members relaxing after work, and dancers that attend Sunday mornings. been part of this party for more than a decade.... it's an essential SF experience! thank you Payam & security/ bar staff :)!

    A true gem; this venue consistently blows my expectations out of the water each visit. Security is efficient and kind, the bartenders are fast and jubilant, the decor is opulent and fun, and the DJ (be it battle of the decades, Saturday night, or Sunday morning) seems to always know how to make the crowd move. They even have free coat check, and a patio where guests can smoke. What a time to be alive!

    Sarah and Payam were dry accommodating when we came in last minute, even though they were pretty booked out.

    I did not want to like this place as much as i did, but it was actually fairly decent!…read more I happened to go on the night of the lunar new year parade - so it was VERY crowded. They were charging $10 cover at the door. Luckily my friend reserved a table for her birthday so we didnt have to pay the cover. The only requirement for the table, was an order of the punch bowl. We ended up ordering several bowls and lots of other specialty drinks. Drinks were standard SF prices but the lines were very long. Overall the vibe was very good, i was a little worried going in to this place that it would feel lowkey stereotypical, but i was pleasantly surprised! I would definitely come back (maybe on a less crowded day).

    Date: Friday, February 20th, 2026 Time: 9:45pm…read moreParty of: 2 *Minor Snow ($20) *Jujube Spritz (13) *SF Mandate - 5% ($1.65) *Tax ($2.85) First off, this review is coming from an old lady. I used to go clubbing in the late 90s and 2000s. Probably before most of the patrons here were even born. Now that I've gotten that out of the way... I came here for a fundraiser once years ago before the space was finished. It seemed like a cool lounge at the time, so I pictured the same when we decided to come here for an after dinner drink. Definitely not the vibe I was envisioning. Basically a club, but not packed like clubs I'm used to back in the day. They have a main front bar and a a makeshift back bar with limited offerings by the dance floor. We ordered from the main bar. My drink was fine. Light and fruity which was what I was going for. My friend got the mocktail which he said was fine as well. There was really no place to chill, so we actually walked back to were the dance floor was a stayed there to finish our drinks. The floor wasn't really crowded at all. I just downed my cocktail cuz we wanted to get out of here. There was a lot of ice, so not too hard. I believe my friend did not finish his mocktail. i may have enjoyed this spot when I was younger. But as a xennial, def not my vibe. REVIEW #3988
