    We stopped in to find friendly faces in a chill coffeehouse vibe. Francesca the owner was warm and inviting. We also met Eric, the manager who was cool and welcoming as well. We happened to stop in when they were filming a segment for Laugh SF with comedian Larry Beyah, who is hilarious and so fun (ig handle @heishysterical). The space is unique and huge with lots of colorful and eclectic art. The owner emphasized their support for the art community, including Music, dance, comedy! We will be back along with friends and hope to have a Community dance class there! Susan and Kerry aka the Funky Bees

    Francesca, who helped me plan the event, was so flexible, easy to work with, and quick to respond.

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.

The place was packed with people traveling from places as far as Antioch, Vallejo, and Cupertino to enjoy the sets of 10 DJ's from AfterLife, DeathGuild, Club Dark Sparkle, Club Night Shift, Gothicumbia, and LosGothsCo in 4 rooms, and two packed stories of dancers. This was definitely an event you didn't want to miss out on. So thankful to find my way into this supportive community. It's been a lovely place to meet some great people.

Two of my friends each had only one drink from the bar and, shortly afterward, became extremely intoxicated to the point that they eventually lost consciousness. For context, neither of them is a lightweight, and we had all eaten plenty beforehand. Their reactions were completely out of character and concerning enough that we had to leave early to make sure they were safe. After discussing what happened afterward (the day after recovery) we became concerned that something may have been added to their drinks. While we cannot say for certain what caused their reactions, the experience was extremely unsettling and has completely changed how I feel about this club. I would not return and cannot recommend this place based on our experience. Please be careful with your drinks and look out for your friends!

    IS THIS A PHONE STEALING FACTORY OR A CLUB???? LMAO. I haven't been here since pre-COVID, and…read morehonestly I had a great experience until my phone and wallet were stolen. On Pride weekend. Wow. Badlands is either willfully ignorant of this rampant issue or potentially complicit -_- I get that there's always been a bit of a seedy grungy vibe, but the insane amount of pickpocketing at this location is just absurd. All this security and surveillance for WHAAATTTTT PROS: - Cheap and decent drinks - Throwback music + Top 40s always - Staff are super friendly but now IDK if that's a front to lower your defenses - Security line goes pretty fast considering how packed it was CONS: - Not ventilated at all. It's HUMID and the mirrors are fogging up with steam - Need to take a photo before entry for "protection" but this is baffling considering our current administration and LGBTQ safety overall - Very grimy... 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!
