totally remodeled club

I am giving this place 5 starts because it has totally been remodeled, everything there. I was there in Feb 09 and again in Feb 2010 and it looks like a brand new venue. The place is pretty big compared to other nightclubs, the drinks are ok and the music is alright. I was there with my bf for presidents day weekend and had a blast.

Favorite bar in SF!

I have been to this club four times now and each time us better than before. The ckub recently experienced a remodel wich is FABULOUS! there are three bars on the four leveled club in addition to one of the cutest twinks i have ever seen walking round the club with a tray of test tube shots and ocationally jell-o shots. He is friendly to me and with a good tip will akways take a shot wit me and always leaves me with a long hug and a smile. I HIGHLY reccomend this club for anyone who is new to the castro or anyone who wants to have a good time! There are tables with seating, an indoor smoking "patio", and go-go dancers that will leave your jaw on the floor. Go and i guarentee you will leave with a smile and you will be back. Last time i went the cover was $5 and they handed me a cd from the dj that they featured that night. Drinks are strong and a little on the pricy side but they did just remodel and probly have to make uo the money lol. Still all in all this place is a gem!
