The Cafe

this was a great experience, I remember getting to meet these two gals and It relly helped me with a bad roomate situation. This is the power of drag performers.

I'm giving The Cafe an extra star because I will acknowledge that you may want to experience the vibe here if you've only been out for a year or two. Once you mature in the community, I hope, for your sake, that you find better places to socialize. The last time I was here I was felt up inappropriately and sexually by the bouncer under the guise of checking for weapons. I haven't been back, and I won't be returning. If you do decide to go out here, be careful. Watch out for handsy bouncers and staff.

That moment when you were supposed to go home but last minute rallied to go to this club and end up staying up into the wee morning even though your body cannot hang anymore (the joys of being in your 30s). We had a lot of fun here, the DJ was good that night and the dance floor was packed. Pro tip: Its cash only. But they have free water station so thats a bonus.

For a metropolitan and wealthy city like San Francisco, this bar is sort of an embarrassment. They require cash only- isn't this tech capitol and Silicon Valley? Empty bar most of the week.

The Café used to be my and my friends' favorite spot because it had a great setup and music was amazing. Ever since they reopened, the music has not been the same--they play lots of music that noone knows (it was very obvious because the energy was very low, not many people were dancing or throwing it back). I went with my friends last Friday and we kept having to suggest our songs, and you could notice right away the difference in the vibe and energy when they played our music vs their music.There's a reason why the Café is not as crowded as it used to and doesn't feel the same as it used to, and I truly believe that it's their music

The vibe is ok, but was totally ruined by security kicking half our group out because of a "fake" ID. Save your money and go to Beaux across the street #dontbeadick

They were super disrespectful. And we're defending people that were saying Mejor La Raza. They felt that the fact that we had a problem with people saying that was a problem. I don't recommend coming.

I was trying to clarify that with one of the security how the line works as there were other clubs without lines and with just as good vibes. Marco(s?), the bouncer checking IDs, was not only being so round about, but he told me to go to another club after I mentioned that he was not being clear with the way it worked. Feeling like I was therefore not able to enter the facility, I told the rest of my group that I wouldn't be able to enter freely & asked that we leave. Once he heard that, he told me to just go in & after that I was left confused because I was just trying to clarify how things worked here. Weirdest & most ostracizing moment of my life.I'm from Los Angeles so I'm not sure if it's an SF thing. Anyway, once I was in, had a great time and glad that line with Marco(s?) didn't make me give up on this place. Recommend coming here if you can get past that weird lines, which can be hard hence the 2/5!

The bouncer yelled at a person vaping in line to get in and everyone was confused because we were outside we understand no vaping inside the club, but we were far away from the door in line when it happened there was other ways he could've said it. He just started yelling right off the bat, which was offputting and to top it off. The club really sucked. It was a Saturday night and it was dead and we were there till 12 and it was still dead. Not worth your time I suggest you guys get new bouncers because the club sucks. No one goes to it and your bouncers are mean for no reason.

Music: 1 -- horrible transitions, and felt like a basement YouTuber doing music video mashups.Dancing: 1 -- this is not a place to get down or get loose. 95% of folks barely moving at all on the dance floor.Crowd: 1 -- the bar and floor was absolutely choked with hetero couples, bridal parties and birthday girlies.
