Badlands

The owner also owns the Patio (closed since 1998), the Pandulum (closed for many years) and other properties. His strategy seems to be to buy the competition, close it and pretend that eliminating choices and boarding up businesses is good for the neighborhood.

I come 3 times a year to SF and going to Badlands is my drug! What i love the most at this place is that it is very clean compared to other places, security is professional and polite, and yes the bartenders are cute. Also the resident DJ's are great, they know how to get the crowed on the dance floor.

I was visiting in SF after many years away and was disappointed at the change in this bar. I loved the former incarnation of this place. Anyway, it is still very popular, but it doesn't have the same feeling as before. Time goes on, I guess. :)

Was in SF for Thanksgiving and liked Badlands so much that we went two nights in a row. Cheesy dance pop, eye candy, mixed crowd- it's all good! Can't wait to go back!
