I think that this bar has a pretty cute art deco themed interior. I loved the different drink options as I love gin based cocktails (they have a bunch) and unique flavor combos. Definitely fruity and floral vibes. The bartenders were great with recommendations and drinks were quick. There was also a DJ and while we danced we definitely felt a bit out of place with the music and age group. We did manage to get him to play Sabrina carpenter for a song. But if you are a millennial then it was great.

My friends & I come here Wednesdays to swing dance and groove. We get matching Lychee Martini's (not pictured) unless we see some cool seasonal drinks on the menu (pictured). The effort put into putting the lights up, having a christmas tree, just a cherry on top. We love this little spot hidden away on Polk. And everyone is so incredibly kind and sweet. Nothing like some swing dancing and a cocktail to wind down during the week

Had a great time at DecoDance Bar! We ordered the Buena Vista and the Sunset drinks and both were great. We arrived quite earlyish and we were the only people in the bar for a bit but the service was great! It was fun seeing people trickling in and the place coming to life.The crowd skews a little older and the music was very millennial core dance/techno music. Overall very fun!

Very fun and lively atmosphere on a Saturday night. Live DJ playing retrowave (love this genre). Scan the QR code for the menu. Pleasantly surprised the cocktail prices are generally $14! My eyes are used to seeing $17. Delicious craft cocktails - tried the gin one with earl grey notes and it came in a super cute tea cup! Love it. Friends also had the passion fruit gin cocktail and mezcal one (sunset something?) I really think you cannot go wrong with any of the cocktails though. Very friendly sweet server and they move FAST even though they are doing craft cocktails. Quite spacious inside with seating areas / booths and a good sized dance floor. Younger crowd on Saturday night.

I'm a bartender and I like to check out cocktail bars and see what kind of unique craft cocktails are out there. We ordered the Bear Hug and Some Like it Hot. They were both outstanding, really well balanced drinks. The sesame oil on the Some Like it Hot was the perfect touch, whoever thought of that was on point. I like that they incorporate a lot of infusions, it sets their drinks apart from most other bars and shows they put the extra thought and effort into their menu.The interior decor is well thought out and on theme, lighting is cozy, and the space is decently sized. We found a cute little hidden couch in the corner to enjoy our drinks. This place seems Ukranian owned as they mention they donate some proceeds to Ukraine on their website, which is nice. Would love to come back and try some of the other cocktails on the menu.

Perfect venue for a private party, this was a work party and it was perfect for our size. The service was great, DJ was awesome and the Bartenders were superb. The ladies were fast, professional and made great drinks.

I love this new neighborhood bar on Polk! Finally there's something a bit more upscale and a swanky alternative to Harper and Rye and Hilo for those who live in the area. The service is fantastic, from the bar staff and to the bouncers, they are all extremely professional and friendly. The drinks are standard prices and so is bottle service. They do have drink specials on certain nights which is a great bonus for anyone there to pre game. The venue itself is newly renovated and comfortable to reserve for large groups. We reserved the back tables for a birthday party and the staff was extremely professional in blocking the space off, making sure there is enough seating and table space for our guests. While also bringing over the drinks and ensuring there were enough glasses and ice throughout the night. The crowd is prob similar to the rest of the bars on Polk which would be a mishmash of eclectic SF characters. It does get crowded, but that's expected for any popular bar in this area. However, when you do get bottle service, the staff definitely helps to protect your space and, from my experience, other patrons aren't rude enough to encroach on your space. Overall, I really appreciate Decodance bar and think it is a great addition to the neighborhood. I'll certainly be back for random bar nights as well as future bottle service celebrations.

Updating my review from a 5* to a 2* based on my most recent experience here.I still love the vibe here, but had a really strange experience this past Saturday. The bar was pretty busy, but definitely not shoulder to shoulder busy. My bf and I were waiting in line at the bar with another couple, and the line was moving at an average pace. When we finally got to the front of the line (after about 5-10 min), our friends ordered their drinks with no issue, leaving us right behind them. They left to head back to the dance floor, but when it was just my bf and I next in line at the bar, it took another 20+ minutes before a bartender even acknowledged us to take our order. I was trying to make eye contact and hold out my card to any bartender who glanced toward me, but they would just go to someone else (who was clearly waiting for far less time than us) to take their order. After about 20 minutes, a bartender finally acknowledged us and took our order, but it was a really unpleasant wait. Our other friends on the dance floor said they could see us from where they were standing and also didn't understand why we were being ignored.I totally understanding waiting for a drink is part of the bar experience, but this was different. The bar was not that busy and we were definitely being ignored for some reason. This really bummed me out for the night and I hope this feedback can be used to help the bartenders not make their customers feel this way.
