First time here, and I dig it…read more Stopped in on a Saturday night for an event known as Chunk during Dore Alley weekend (end of July) - I didn't see a lot for advertising on the F8 website or their social media which is kind of sad TBA - love that they support events like this and help foster a safe space for all especially QTBIPOC as advertise on many of their regular nights and events - but don't enjoy that they didn't promote this body positive inclusive event as much as others or advertise (really) with the exceptions of tags and stories. The music was cool (very house), but a little beyond blaring at times, they eventually adjusted it - there's nightclub great and there's I need ear plugs just to enjoy myself/adjust - might just be my more laidback mellow nature. Being a big event I purchase a ticket online weeks in advance when planning my weekend in SF - not too many people were as familiar with F8 in my circle of friends including locals, my boyfriend (who lived in the area for years before moving to LA - and frequent visitor) definitely hadn't heard of it and having a solo outing to myself I went in with an open mind and Saturday Night fever. Drinks were good - good alternatives to cocktails also - Golden State Cider was my friend instantly along with their RUM PUNCH via the Craft/Signature Cocktails they offer. Lighting is very clubhouse scene meets lounge fun but give your eyes a second to adjust - can be more bright and colorful during their EDM, Dance Wave. Luckily I ran into my new friend Justin visiting from Arizona and spent the rest of the night getting to know him better, both of us only stayed for I think two hours, enjoyed the drinks - bartenders were nice (hard to hear at times), DJ was pretty dope well - the one in the main room especially There's a small, more intimate dance floor with another DJ, which I hung out in for a little before it got a little tight to move around. Didn't want to get trapped in the dance stew for too long. Awesome energy. Restrooms were decent and easy to access - the lines were never too long. The private lounge typically reserved for private parties was open for the event night - mingle with several people here and unwound finishing my last drink - it was nice after some dancing and whatnot. The coat/clothing/item check is just before this room - depending on what you're checking the price might vary - since I put my items in my drawstring bag and my vest they gave me the bag check price (only $5 compared to I wanna say 2 to 3 dollars). Hold onto that number or take a picture of it because you will need to verify when you're ready to leave. Updates to F8's space: "F8 seeks to maintain a safe and inclusive space for all, especially the QTBIPOC folks in our dance community. We have zero tolerance for harassment of any kind--sexual, physical, and verbal, including expressions of racism, misogyny, and bigotry. If you are a victim of such behavior, please notify any member of f8's staff who will take immediate action." Looking at upcoming non-third party fun, the Run It Back: Underground Showcase night seems like a fun event - free with RSVP until 11p plus complimentary champagne from 9p to 10p - cheers to this. Not always a cover night or event, but definitely keep an eye on their calendar for your dance club experience. Also, a venue for all sorts of parties and occasions - submit and inquiry and expect a timely response. Party hardy, drink not necessarily Bacardi, enjoy responsibly, and of course dance like no one's watching ;)

Me and my SO were enjoying the dancing and then went to use the restroom we looked at the sign and it said it was gender neutral so we both went in. It would've been totally ok if someone knocked on the door and said hey only one person may use it at a time. But instead they barged in and basically broke the lock on the door and said "only females allowed in here" and I simply walked out of the restroom and pointed at the sign that said gender neutral. The man said only female, only female. It was incredibly rude and uncalled for. He simply could've just knocked and said one person at a time but I don't even think that would've been ok with him. I was so confused about the whole situation we just left the bar.

There are VIP seats and general admission is standing only. I stood by the bar, which was a good vantage point to watch the show as well as to dance along to the music. The bartender and other staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. The check-in process was awkward and late, but I believe the performers were a little late in being ready. Understandable, at it looks like it takes a lot of time and work to transform into beautiful queens. I had fun, as this everyone in the audience.

Tom is the best, we did not know 200 Channels existed or there was a burlesque show until 30 min before it started. He got us in (and people reserve this way in advance).

Don't want to say more or it'll ruin the surprise. They are SO SO good at revving up the crowd. I was dancing and shaking my booty like my life relied on it, but willingly.

I don't know, but the dj had the house jumping. Got here around 3a, and was a little skeptical when we walked inside. The interior looked like the inside of the Flintstones's house on the cartoon, and the bar had minimal drink choices. They did not offer your basic club experience alcohol like Hennessy, Ciroc, beer, etc. The best part was the dj, and the cool crowd of people that started to trickle in. The later it got, the more people seemed to want to come out and party. By 430a the dance floor was packed, and before we knew it, it was already 6a and time to go!
