Either dead or too packed to move

This place when busy (aka Monday, Wednesday, and weekends) is so packed that you can barely get to the bar. Combine the small packed space with some people actually trying to dance and even a non closterphobic person will feel a bit cramped. During the week they have a good 2-4-1 happy hour that runs later than most Castro bars, but you will find yourself inside with maybe a handful of otter people on it's non-peak days. Wednesday make sure to somehow make it to the very back of the club for your photo to be taken for Booty Call Wednesdays. They have a different backdrop and props every week. Great for your next Facebook profile pic

Small, Crowded, Lame

They have good drink specials yet not very strong drinks and if your going to be waiting for 10 minutes by the side of the bar for a cocktail with a splash of alcohol just so you can spill half of it on the way back to your friends because its so crowded its your place def not mine. they need to expand it or go on a slow night because when you have to push threw a crowd just to be bumped into by sweaty hot messes its not a great place to start your night
