    Chill place to come. I bought VIP package and well, for starters at the front they didnt even mentioned that I would get a VIP bracelet until I asked whay the difference was between general and VIP. Another thing, they dont tell you you can only get drinks up at the front. The people at the front dont ask either even if the bracelet is very pronounced for them to see. If you have VIP make you you twll the bartender at the FRONT ONLY; that's where the drinks are included. Otherwise chill place

    This place is RACIST and it was the first time feeling DISCRIMEATED AGAINST in a club in San Francisco. It was the worst experience ever. I would NOT come here again. We got pushed hard on the floor and my friend fell on her knees, she got bruised. We felt very unsafe because of the bad management and security here. We were being blamed for fell down on the floor and they kicked us out because we are chinese girls. The poor choices they made makes me question about this place.

    The disorganization at this venue was incredibly annoying. We purchased VIP tickets with an open bar for the P-Lo event on February 13, 2025, expecting a smooth experience. Instead, security scanned our QR codes and stamped us without checking that we had VIP tickets or telling us we needed to pick up wristbands. When we got inside, we went to the bar in the lobby to the right to redeem our open bar access--only for the bartender to tell us we needed wristbands. This was the first time anyone mentioned wristbands. So we went back outside to get them, and that's when things became very ridiculous. The staff did not believe us even though we literally had an email receipt proving we paid for VIP. Instead of resolving the issue, they sent us back and forth between different people, making us wait repeatedly. Even the manager acted like we were trying to scam them, instead of acknowledging their own flawed process. Once we finally got our wristbands, we found out the open bar was only available upstairs--and the drink selection was seriously underwhelming for something advertised as an open bar. If you're going to charge extra for VIP, at least provide a variety of quality drinks instead of limiting options. That being said, P-Lo was amazing, and I still had a great time with my friends. But Temple seriously needs to fix their check-in process and train their staff better. It's not worth paying extra for VIP if they can't even verify tickets properly or communicate how things work. If you plan on coming here, don't waste your money on VIP--it's more hassle than it's worth.

    Buy tickets online! Plays edm on the top floor and edm remixes on the basement level 55. I think for more popular events they may regulate more but they didn't care to separate the tickets for either spaces. The lines going in are a bit confusing to navigate but the coming in from right side? is preticket and forward is guest list and other side is no ticket I think. The lounge area is quite new and refreshingly cold with some couches to wait for uber. Otherwise, warehouse vibes. Does get hot, bar area downstairs gets crowded. I would say there's p much no dress code. I mean probably no athletic wear but I saw girls wear jeans, and guys wear sneakers, puffer jackets and hoodies so not too bad. The security can be a bit aggressive with checking body for anything. There's a diversity of groups and i can see how level 55 can get packed but the top area has way more space.

    I had a great experience at Temple recently with a bunch of friends on 5/25, which was allegedly their last day open according to SF news sources. I found out on that night from staff, however, that it wasn't their last night and they're still open. Having recently moved to SF from the LA metropolitan area, I was super impressed by the venue. It is way nicer and larger than any of the LA clubs I've been to in Ktown and Hollywood. I certainly hope it stays open because places like this make me want to go out every weekend.

    the music was iffy so check whose DJ'ing to make sure it's your music taste! the bartenders were so nice and very quick with their drinks. lots of room to dance so bring your dancing shoes & let go for the night! the bathrooms are very clean & monitored by a person throughout the whole night. don't be afraid to bring your jacket, coat check is $5 but they take cash & card. there's a smoking section out back with chairs too! i had a great night with my friends and would go back on another night with music that's closer to what i like:)

    Temple was my first clubbing experience in SF and I had so much fun! The music was great upstairs (Imanbek was the DJ playing that night) and downstairs they were playing a lot of classic throwback pop songs. However, I was disappointed by the bottle service we paid for. First, we paid almost $2000 for a table for 10, and there was barely enough space for 8 people and we had to share the space closely with another group of 4. The bouncer was rude to us, and ended up kicking our whole group out after claiming one person was being too rowdy- I would've assumed the amount we paid would've given us the privacy to have fun in our own table. The bottle service girls were really nice and helpful, and it was really fun when they came out with the birthday sign and confetti. I would come back to temple for a night out, but I do not recommend bottle service. It was overpriced and bouncer was not professional. If anyone has any recommendations for good bottle service in SF, would love to hear them!

    There are other SF clubs much better. Management doesn't know what they're doing. Prices are too high.

I attended the show at this alternate location in SF on Friday night, and had a blast as usual. The venue worked well for the event, for the most part. No balcony seating like the DNA Lounge (the usual spot for Mortified), but they had more bar height tables and chairs for couples on the side, and open seating both on the floor and along the back wall on a raised level of the main room. A small bar in the back corner too. Excellent lighting, and great view of the stage from anywhere. Technical difficulties occurred at multiple points of the event, related to the sound and screen display. They did short music clips in between readers' performances since there was no live band for this particular show. Sometimes the music volume would be excruciatingly loud, and at times the images were projected off the screen or were accidentally changed mid-performance. Can't speak of the nightclub atmosphere here, as it's been decades since I've experienced that. But based on my recent visit, I'd say the venue overall was decent for an event space, and even if not perfect, I still had a good time.

We got some drinks and were waiting for the music to pick up, and it indeed picked up! Great music, great old school throwbacks, and the people were rolling in. Ended up coming down to dance for a bit, and got another drink, but overall, I felt it was a great 2 hours of hanging and dancing, and the crowd was vibing too!

I hoped they'd improve this since reopening - WELL, the glaring pickpocketing issue lol. The DJ halfheartedly mentioned to watch out for pickpockets mid-set, but by the end of the night, EVERY OTHER GROUP we passed by had someone saying something like "my phone/wallet's gone!", easily 20+ people. Meanwhile, the staff is roughly pushing everyone out with complete disregard to the panic Thankfully I'm able to replace everything with little inconvenience and wasn't too stressed in the moment, but now seeing the other reviews how this has been a regular occurrence for them for years (and targeting women/femmes also...), this is ridiculous. I went to the Sac Badlands for years and nothing like this has ever happened. If you want to risk coming here, present as male or use a phone tether I guess!
