Dawn Club

You get what you pay for -- this place is expensive.But interior, service, cocktails -- all top notch. Highly recommended.

So classy and intimate!$30 per person after 7pm for a table, you can reserve online on their website or opentable. Pay by credit card first. Shows start 8pmNo fee if you walk in and hangout at bar but it will be crowded and likely standing room only. Bar is gorgeous. Live jazz music, check the calendar online to see who is playing Drinks are around $22 each

Dawn club is perfect if you are looking for a jazz bar! The interior is very elegant and the music was very good. We didn't make any reservations so we hung out by the bar area. After ~20 mins, we got lucky and were able to snag some pretty good seats in the bar area facing the stage.As many people mentioned, the drinks are a little pricier at $20 - $25 but since they don't charge a cover here, I think it's worth it. The bartenders and servers were also very nice. The reason why this is 4 stars is because I tried 2 drinks while I was there and thought both were just okay. Maybe I need to try some different ones next time.

The Dawn Club is an incredible jazz bar that oozes cool vibes and charm. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a relaxed, intimate atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding and enjoying great live music. It's the kind of spot where time seems to slow down, and you can just take it all in.Pro tip: Make sure you reserve a table in advance! Without a reservation, you'll likely end up standing at the bar, which can get pretty packed. We came in after dinner with no expectations and found ourselves staying much longer than planned because the drinks, the music, and the overall ambiance were just that good.Speaking of drinks, the Akira was the highlight for me. It was delightfully creamy and smooth--an absolute pleasure to sip on, and I could have easily had a few more without even realizing it. The entire cocktail menu seemed thoughtfully curated, so there's definitely something for everyone.The bartenders were truly impressive. Even though they were busy the entire night, they managed to keep their cool, mixing drinks quickly and skillfully. We never felt like we were waiting too long, which speaks to their professionalism and talent.The live music added a magical touch, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay all night. The sound quality was excellent, and the performers seemed to be enjoying themselves just as much as the crowd was.If you're looking for a unique spot with top-notch drinks, incredible live jazz, and an inviting vibe, The Dawn Club is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back, and next time, I'll make sure to book a table!

A very swanky spot for live music and drinks. The interior is so beautiful. All the seating is on velvet couches and the display of bottles behind the bar is definitely photography-worthy.We came with no reservations and were able to grab drinks before people started filling in the tables for the music. The drinks were classic and elegantly made. It is pricey but definitely worth the experience.

This is such a hidden gem! Very swanky and excellent mocktails...the jazz was jazzy and the seats are $25 but you can just stand and sit in the bar area for free.Such a vibe ~ like most of SF there's no dress code but I tend to dress down and it would be fun get dressed up next time!

Came here during the storm and even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation, they still sat us. Note that in order to get a reservation after 7pm you do have to pay a small fee per person, which goes to the band. Per the website there are time limits, however, because of the rain I think we were allowed to stay longer, which was so awesome! We caught the first set of the band and had a great time. The ambiance is swanky, sexy, and cool. A really awesome place for a date. They do not serve food, so eat before or have plans after! And yes. Yes yes yes the drinks are EXPENSIVE. However, the bartenders are really crafting some unique cocktails and service was spectacular. We had 4 drinks (whiskey flight and 3 cocktails) and it came to $109 (not including the fee for the reservations which you pay when making the reservation). I've been to many speakeasy's and lounges in SF - the price is slightly above what you would expect to pay, but you're also paying for the ambiance, the venue, the music - all of which was excellent during my visit!

tldr; elegant, vibey, great music, good for small and mid-size groups! cocktails are pricey but great. service is excellent. drinks only, no food. price: ~$20-25 per personThe live music was impressive -- I didn't see any sheet music on stage, but everyone performing was super in-sync and passionate. The sound quality was great and made the whole experience feel very elevated. The flights are also really interesting, coming in four one-ounce shots along with sweetener, a glass of ice, and pilsner. The tray seems to be custom-made to fit all the glasses (very insta-worthy). The gin flight was surprisingly pleasant and only $25!Service was super attentive and friendly. Drinks came out quickly and our waitress was kind enough to remember to check in on us even as we spent way too long perusing the menu.Definitely a great place to go if you're looking to dress up, enjoy a nice cocktail, and take in some live jazz in an intimate and elegant setting!

I came here with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. I think the host helped us out and the band and singer actually sang my friend happy birthday and it was so sweet. I had already read that the drinks were pretty expensive so I was kind of biased on that and I do agree they are a little pricey, but Probably no difference of drinks at restaurants. currently there's no food sold here so don't come hungry or have plans before or after to eat I enjoyed coming to this jazz bar. There's a parking lot nearby that closes at midnight if you need to park nearby.

Wonderful ambience: very intimate vibe to bring a date for the night. I specifically reserved for a table service which required a person fee when there is band performance(starting at 8PM). However, you can walk in for the bar section and get few drinks there. Time limit is 1.5 hr stay. *no food, just cocktail menu. -1 star because even after paying the table service that's specifically stated going into band performance, the drinks price are still a bit high for me personally. Most speakeasy or nice bars are normally $17-19. However, here are ranked from ~ $20-24. Overall, I enjoyed the performance. Interior is lovely as well. I would come back for special occasions or a date night.
