442 Play Parties for Men

I find 442 really hit or miss. On a few occasions it has been super fun; on others dead. Like other similar venues in SF, the crowd is usually pretty meh. The space is small and usually too warm and poorly ventilated. All the various play tables are too high or too low (and Im 6 tall). It isnt the most thought out space for sure. The staff are friendly enough but they have a cash only policy and apparently no coins either. Im increasingly suspect of businesses that dont take cards, in the year 2017 with the ubiquitousness of contactless payment such as Apple Pay. Anyone can get a square reader.As others say, Saturday nights are usually best. Sunday evenings are dead in my experience. Monday is a respectable crowd but get there close to opening at 8. By 9:30 - 10 there are few new arrivals and most people are out the door.

Ive been to most gay adult play spaces in SF and several elsewhere (many have closed since). All are hit and miss. 442 is the only venue Ive been to where I get some even on a miss day. The venue attracts a diverse crowd (all races, and a variety of types) thats there to have adult fun. Not to chitchat or drink or socialize. Two levels with several rooms with a wide variety of play equipment like benches, platforms, horses, slings, etc. It gets very popular on Saturdays, less busy on Fri, Sun, Mon. Closed on other days except for special occasions. Given how popular it is and whats going on I have to say they do a great job keeping the place clean. No need to freak out about making contact with any of the surfaces, and that is not the case everywhere else in similar establishments. Upper level can get very hot and steamy on busy nights. One of the reasons why most guys dont wear more than their jock strap, if that. 2nd floor is only accessible by a flight of stairs, but plenty of equipment to play on downstairs as well. Light level varies in different rooms, so whether youre shy or enjoy putting on a bit of a show, theres a spot for you. One room downstairs is a dark room. Also, on 5th Saturdays and rare other occasions the whole venue is extra dimly lit forlights-out parties. Free lockers ($5 deposit) $15 to get in, $10 on some less-busy nights. Friendly, responsive staff. No showers, no place to rinse, the one stall in the restroom is not very private, so come ready to play. Have fun!

I found this venue to be tourist friendly. Just a a few blocks from Bloomingdales and the Westfield Mall near Market and 5th. Also very close to the a main hub for BART, MUNI and cable cars. When I arrived, I was greeted with a very friendly and welcoming staff. I was impressed with the electronic lockers unlocked by wrist bands. So 2k. Once inside, lets just say it was game on. There was no wasting time to join the fun. That being said, it is also a great place to observe.The crowd was diverse and offered many scenes. Something for everyone. The 2 floor layout was jaw dropping. There are different rooms with different vibes. Each enhanced by a “low light” lighting design obviously well thought out by a pro. If you are a person seeking that legendary San Francisco South Of Market, aka SOMA experience, look no further. This is it.

Fantastic space - clean, well laid out and friendly staff. Been here twice now - will absolutely return again.

Great space great staff and had a wonderful time period can I wait to get back and joy it again

Very bad. The staff are unfriendly and rude. If there had been fewer stars... I would have given - 10.I am 53 years old but the people who were grazing had 50 on each leg. Painful.Definitely not to go, waste of money.
