811 Parliament

Great venue for hosting events. I've celebrated several birthdays here and the staff has always been kind and accommodating to my needs, including setting up karaoke as well as bringing in my own catering. Pricing for rental is also extremely reasonable esp in the Bay Area for the space provided.

Lots of smoking here so my lungs couldn't take it. The music was fine; just not my type of music so I didn't know how to dance. Didn't have that great of a time but that's just me. Others look like they were having a great time.

Stopped in here cause Lexx Jones had a DJ set. The vibes were unmatched!!! It was a melting pot of culture and ppl. Bartenders were friendly, quick && efficient! The music was top Tier. I ended up stopping back here the following weekend they had a Beyoncé night and I absolutely loved it!! Felt safe and had a great time! I would def recommend this spot for a night out with your girls on the weekend.

I was super stoked to go to this spot this past Friday night with friends. I've seen posts on IG & a ton of great marketing for Parliament. To my surprise, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. The drinks were not only overpriced, they also tasted hella watered down. I kid you not, I had five sips of my $13 drink and it was already gone. The ice took up 90% of the actual drink, hence why it only took five sips for it to be done. The service was alright and the ambiance was solid... but definitely hyped up more than what is actually there. There is also a three drink minimum per table. I don't know if they're trying to make up cost for what they didn't make during Covid, but this definitely isn't the way to go about it. When people go out they expect to have a good time and enjoy GOOD drinks. Although Parlament might be the place to have a good time with the right people for the ambience, the drinks are definitely not at the front line of that fight... which is totally unexpected because this is a bar spot. The music was a plus. Servers were ehhh. There is also an automatic gratitude fee added on to all orders, it looks like it's about 18% of the total. Overall wouldn't go again.

It was a very nice event. friendly people, very friendly serving staff will definitely go again. Lines for the restroom. Weren't that bad when I had to use them.

security is rude and does their best to make sure you never want to come back. we get there after 10. pay the cover leave and come back. they tell us no ins and outs when we get back. that's cool we'll wait in line and pay again. but the bouncer took us out of line and told us we couldn't go in. no explanation besides no ins and outs. completely threw our night off. we weren't being loud or rude and just trying to understand why we weren't being let back in. idk hopefully other people have better experiences.

Came there Saturday night and stood at the bar for 23 minutes hoping to get a drink. Every bartender would do their best to look away. Even one of the customers sitting at the bar was wondering why we're not being served. I have a few thoughts why but will keep them to myself. Just dont come here. Rude and beyond rude is how I'd describe this staff.

I like the outdoor area that has been added since Covid. I also really love that they serve hookah because it's hard to find a nice spot that plays good music. The wait staff is awesome, but the security is not so great--hence the lack of stars I've left on this review. Why have a security guard that has an attitude and is hostile toward women and would provoke (God forbid) a person to react negatively? I felt really awful from my interaction with security this evening, so the next time I'm invited to an outing I will be suggesting another place. I'd prefer to spend my money elsewhere, where I'm not treated poorly by staff for no reason.I came here on Sunday evening to meet up with my boyfriend and our friends. I had to pee really bad, so I went up to the door a bit before they announced they were closing. I asked the security guard if I could use the restroom and he said no, as they were closing, which made sense to me. I said ok, then walked back to my table. My bf suggested I try to see if I could use the restroom at District, so I got up again to see if they were open, which they weren't. So at that point I walked around the corner to see if I could pop a squat (I know, EW!) in the parking lot. There were a lot of people in the lot, so I walked back. When I got back to Parliament I noticed that there were people lined up outside to use the restroom. I ask the same security guard if the restroom was now open, and he said yes. I then asked him why it was open and now and not 10 minutes prior when I first inquired and told him about how I've been holding my pee for at least 20 minutes, to that which he said, "I don't give a fuck." At that point, I wanted to shrug it off since I was in line, but he then pulled down his mask to reveal the snarl upon his face and said, "You're lucky I'm letting you use the bathroom now." Why be super rude and hostile toward a customer who is JUST trying to use the restroom? I thought that security guards were hired to keep people safe, not to provoke hostile situations. Needless to say, I felt and still feel uncomfortable about that interaction. I have no desire to visit or spend money at a business where this level of disrespect toward patrons is acceptable.

Rented out Parliament for a holiday party, and our group had a time! The staff were amazing, and provided us with a great experience. The GM Jojo was super hands on and helpful from the moment that we reached out to reserve the space. Definitely will be booking again for our next event.

I was finishing up my champagne, security carried out. There were so many people behind me still going into the bathroom with alcohol. I asked to be told why I was singled out, no one could tell me why. I hate it here.
