The bartender was chill as well he really introduced me to what they have on the menu. The place was little small but still looked great for being a dive bar.

The wait at Gao is inevitable so instead of waiting outside their doors, walk half a block to sky lounge and grab a quick drink with friends! It'll also help keep your mind at ease once the bill drops at Gao cause that place is expensive for Vietnamese food!

This guy want to make some extra money for himself. Obviously this guy is clueless no experience in this business. a rave cost about $40 with a full line up of 10 djs . This place ran by novice and will be close for good soon.. it's illegal to say free before 10:30 and charge people No wonder no one is there. It is drip pricing , fraudulent it is illegal I will contact BBB and the MVPD for investigation . BUNCH OF LOUSY CROOKS.

Make-Out Room has a lot of character and such a chill, laid-back vibe. It's a great spot whether…read moreyou're coming with friends or on a date. The atmosphere feels fun and unpretentious, and it's the kind of place you can actually relax and enjoy yourself. They have live music, and I think they even host a salsa night, which adds to the energy and keeps things interesting. It's just a really cool bar to hang out at without feeling overly crowded or try-hard. Overall, a solid spot with personality. I'd totally recommend coming here with your friends if you're looking for a fun, easygoing night out.

The bartenders are decently friendly and move pretty efficiently between simple pints to fancier cocktails. The bathroom situation could be better though. Overall still a decent night out to be had. Thanks for the memories.

My experience with Pure surprisingly exceeded my expectation…read more We came out to dance, we got to dance our hearts out. EDM was exceptionally danceable, not too annoying as I previously dreaded I might not like the music. After a few of them, I've got my dance move back. Overall music was mid, it engulfed tempo but lacked melody. The only memorable piece was "Danza Kuduro". That was the highlight of the night. I wish DJ leveled up his musical taste. Respectful and courteous staff from bartender to securities; ample dance space; tidy and well organized setting; reasonably-priced and refreshing mocktail; and clean restroom, this place's dope! Nice crowd too. We had fun!

Came on 1/24 night that Hoang performed and it was so fun! My friend was celebrating a birthday so…read morewe got a table and we were treated like VIPS for the whole night. With a table, we got bottles services and a designated area with seating. Depending on how many bottles you purchase, your area will vary but more bottles purchased means better seating area/view of the stage. My group had a fun night, I would recommend for anyone who wants to splurge a little for a special occasion (birthday/graduation). Bottle service is quite pricey but that is expected with the service that comes with it and the VIP treatment.

This was my first time at Kaizen Bar, and I can definitely see why my friends always recommend it…read morewhenever we're downtown! They had hyped it up quite a bit, so I came in with high expectations--and it lived up to them. We went on a Friday night and didn't even have to pay a cover, which was a great surprise. The inside had beautiful Japanese-inspired decor that gave the place a unique atmosphere, and even with how busy it was, everything felt well-maintained. The bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus. The staff were incredibly attentive and worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of, even though the bar was absolutely packed. The DJ was amazing that night too! My friends and I spent most of our time on the dance floor because the music was so good. Overall, the energy, service, and atmosphere made for such a fun night out. Kaizen has officially become one of my favorite downtown spots, and I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm looking for a fun night with great vibes and good company.

October 5-8, 2006 in Burlingame, CA. is the best West Coast Swing dance competition in the US…read more Usually on the Columbus day, holiday weekend of October. 1200 WCSwing competitors and social dancers come from across the US, Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Scotland and France to compete, take workshops and social dance on a 5200 sq. ft. dance floor. Four days are allotted for WCS dancing and socializing. There is also a second ballroom for Lindy dancers. If you want to see the best West Coast swing in the country, come out on a Saturday or Sunday night and see the best of the best compete, it is awesome to see. If you love partner dancing, love dancing to top 40's, R & B, Motown, Blues and Jazz, this is the dance for you. The 3 day event pass covers watching the competitions, social dancing, 10+ workshops and Saturday buffet. There are one day passes and evening passes avail for those who just want to check it out. Nearby to other restaurants, Max's Opera Cafe, Elephant Bar and a movie theater.

Came here for their early bird class (marching orders from my West Coast Swing prof at ccsf)…read more First off, it's rather expensive to park in their parking structure (charges by the hour - my final tally was around $14 for a little more than 2 hrs), so look for some on the street - should be plenty within a couple of blocks. The lessons and the dance were just $10. I've never taken a class that had 200 students in it! It is a spectacle to see so many pairs of wcs enthuasiasts, all their slots lined up in parallel - there were four rows of maybe 50 people each running across the entire dance floor, which was held in the main conference room. As we rotated partners, I think I barely got through one row to the other side of the floor. The teachers, Kyle and Sara, were fabulous, complementing each other as they gave commentary and critique in rapid-fire succession. And of course, there was a free dance afterwards, where all the convention competitors took to the floor and lit in on fire. Literally.
