Amazing little goth club for younger people. Multiple places to dance, good bar service, there was literally an open to use GameCube when I went there. Definitely worth going to if the bigger, more popular places arent vibing with you.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY AT CAT CLUB!I was at the club with my friends on 4/7/24 and had the worst experience with one of the security guys! The guy was super rude, he yelled at me at the doorway after I paid entrance fee of $15 because I stood for 2 seconds next to the line divider and left. Such angry unpleasant personality who needs to be working at the jail andyell at everyone! I will ever go back!!!! We ended up going to Raven. This place was great!

Worst club in SoMa as someone that lives here. I came for the first time and had the WORST service. Some dancer came up to me and literally physically shoved me and my friends off the dance floor even though we had paid for the cover and so many drinks.The dancers were so rude unfriendly, and did not make this feel like a safe space. I felt so embarrassed bringing them here because I had so high hopes after hearing my friends rave about how cool it is, only to be treated like literal trash and the dancer putting their hand on my back and shoving me to the side staying I’ll be banned when I had JUST arrived for the first time. And I’m someone who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community and regular attends all the leather events.I will never come back and will just go to F8, raven bar, The Eagle, Jolene’s, Driftwood etc where they’re nicer and don’t treat customers like this. Just because you’re a performer doesn’t give you the right to be so mean, rude, and unfriendly. I’ve been living in this area for a while and have never been treated this way.

I had a great time at the cat club!This place was just a few blocks walk from my hotel and so I checked it out one Friday night. Its cash only to get in, which is weird because you can pay a tab at the bar with a credit card. But there is an ATM if you need it.Its a goth club so the folks and the music fit the description. They were quite friendly and accepting of me in my business suit though.There was a DJ in the front of the club and one in the back and each were playing totally different facets of their music and both were fun to dance to.I found it to be one of the freest dance floors Ive ever been on. Everyone was enjoying themselves so much! It was a lot of fun.

My go-to club in the Bay Area. I always have a great time whenever I come here. Especially love coming for their goth/80s nights. The staff couldn’t be any better - they are always on-point and truly care about their guests & their safety. They currently have a nice, covid-friendly, outdoor set up so if you have the opportunity to come down and grab a drink you definitely should!

Review №28

This is a fun bar! Two dance floors with 80s new wave in the back and a mix of 80s and 90s in the front. Two bars, a coat/bag check, lounge and table seating areas, and a smoking area in a tiny alley. The drinks were really inexpensive for San Francisco. They have a great lighting setup too! Cover charge was only $5 on the Thursday we went there. So glad our friend recommended it.

Funkytown was one of the best experiences of my clubbing life!! Music was fantastic in the 70s and 80s room. The vibe was so great and easy going. People were having so much dancing in groups you didnt need a dance partner. People were so friendly. Loved it. It was my first time but not my last. They were people of all ages and races. Exactly what San Francisco represents a wonderful melting pot.

Review №32

We were there on NYE. The club and the atmosfere were nice. The music was fine, cool 80s music althought not many hits were played... However, the drinks were very expensive, they came in a vase the size of a shot (really) and cost 9$ plus tip. We felt cheated on so we didnt leave much tip on our next consumption. The bartender (a man in the back room) was very rude to us which really put us off so we ended up leaving. The other bartender (a woman in the front room) was not rude. The beer is cheaper than drinks (vodka, rum, etc), around 7$ around a pint.

Doorman was nice and polite. Music could be better. Goth is a very distinct and sophisticated genre. I feel that mixing it with post punk and industrial doesnt really make sense. Still, good space, nice folks and a reasonable number of eccentric characters as it should on a Goth night. Needs more crowd. Will come back

Flash back to my teen years in SF. A bright front room with club music and a darker back dance room where they were featuring Radiohead vs. INXS on the video screen. I don’t remember dancing for this many hours for quite a few decades!! Drinks were decent, took a little while to get close to the bar to order, but the friendliness of the bartender made it worth our wait. Excellent place to people watch.

Review №45

Went here on their Thursday 80s throwback night. Except for their one misplaced Gaga song, the music was pretty good. Its definitely dive-y, with a fog machine and strobe lights that can make the place a bit dizzying if drunk. However, getting drunk here is no problem since the drinks were super strong...definitely worth the money. The crowd is pretty diverse, consisting of characters in the late 20s-50s range who dont mind that they look ridiculous when dancing. Its pretty entertaining when you see more guys than girls dancing in the cage/on stage.Overall this place was a fun time...definitely worth giving it a shot!

Cat Club is great place to hear music from 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. The club has two dance floors. Two bars, smoking area, VIP lounge, dancing platforms, tables and chairs. Very friendly environment, people ages range from 20s to 60s. It is a fun place to enjoy your night out in San Francisco. It is easy to get to this location.

Such a great vibe! This dive bar has a awesome energy and music! I went for the first time on 4th of july and it was 80s night. I love the no judgement atmosphere and the variety of people that just want to get on the dance floor and forget about everything. I met some of the regulars and long timers, i can honestly see myself becoming a regular even tho its an hour drive from me. Thats how much i love this place, basically its definitely a place you want to visit in SF.

I went to this bar the first night it opened in there early 90s and its always been a blast I recently started going back there to fill my party need and its been fun I think they could make some changes to make it better mainly revamping the music The 80s were filled with so many different types of music but this place only plays one style 80s Brit Pop lately some of the new DJs have been doing more of a house 80s sound which I enjoy The staff at the cut club are extremely friendly and brilliant they look out for you in ways that other bar staff dont and I appreciate that The locals who hang out there are cool and interesting theres a little something for everyone no matter what youre scene maybe Im glad I went back to partying local and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time without any strings

Review №51

This is a very fun bar with at least one fun Kink event per week. Ive only been there for bondage-a-go-go, but I imagine its pretty great just on a daily basis. In the front theres a dance area usually with a DJ, in the middle theres a bar and additional seating area, and in the back during bondage-a-go-go there is a friendly Kinks space and fantastic DMs and participants.

Review №52

Easily my favorite nightclub of all time. I tend to lean more dark/goth when I (very rarely) go out, and Cat Club provides many great spaces to hang out. Theres a more laid back lounge area, a large dance floor with projector screen and two bars. Its always a great, fun time and the crowd is open, diverse and friendly. I go to San Francisco about once a year, and I always do my best to make it here.

This spot used to be my home away from home at least 3 nights a week, but after a hiatus (of several years) I went back last week and it was as fun, dancey, and comfortable as ever! The atmosphere is totally welcoming and the bar tenders are cool👍. Owner/operator is a badass and cool as can be! Love it here any night of the week ❤.

Review №55

Took my wife to a Depeche Mode night and we had a great time. Club has a down to earth vibe with most people actually dancing. A few posers who dont get that a drink without a cover is something you should NOT stand on the middle of the dance floor with. The crowd is funky and cool, and likes to have fun and dance. The DJ did a nice job, but I am not a fan of Depeche Mode, so I dont know about selection quality. We liked this place so much we plan go to back at least twice in the next few weeks!

For the uninitiated: the club has continuous themes from day to day and is most popular for its Thursday night iteration, known affectionately/officially as 1984.there are plenty of other reasons to attend, if you possess a broader palate in your particular lifestyle. I highly recommend attending, but, please drink respectfully...

I went here for bondage a go go and it was awesome! The play space was great and the music in the back of house awesome! The music up front had some trouble picking a decade or style, but improved as the night went on.Mad props to one of the bartenders tho. During the night, a guy who had previously bought me and my friend drinks brought us another round as a surprise. I took them back to the bartender, explained that I didnt know the person who bought them for us, and asked him to repour them, which he did without hesitation. Thanks for being allies in keeping us safe!!

Go to Funky Town @ the Cat Club on the 4th Saturday of every month. One half of the club 80s new wave, the other half 70s funk and disco. Seriously the best dancing experience Ive had in SF. Disco was made for dancing, and you all were made to dance. Staff can be a bit grumpy.

By far my favorite club in the entire world! Yeh its Abit divey but that is the appeal. We use to have company parties here for the peachys puff crew. Randy, amazing bartender, great person to get to know. Michael my favorite doorman always a gentleman and good friend. Ill learn the names of everyone else eventually, but its always a welcoming environment! The second dance floor in the back is closed off now. So please please make a visit here on Thursday night 9pm for their 80s night dance party. Its free!!!! Smoking area. Clean bathrooms.coat check. Well drinks wont break your bank.

Review №77

I will admit that I am a little biased, because I love cat club for Bondage a GoGo and Strange Love. I lived in the bay now for three years, and it is the only place I enjoy other than DNA lounge and occasionally butter. If you like goth music of all varieties, 80s music, 90s pop, some hip hop and RnB, this is your club. Each night there is a different event/theme and its occasionally tailored to fit the holidays and time of year.My first experience at cat club was on the year of of 2014 going into 15. I instantly fell in love and couldnt give it up because no one is judging, and they make the guidelines for being in the club VERY clear.

It is one of the weirdest clubs I have been to, and the awesoem one. Ive been there several times, and will be coming back.The music is 80s etc., e.g. Duran Duran, Depeshe Mode. A very cool crowd - dressed up in the way they pleased: goth, leather, micky mouse ears, corsets, acid 80s, etc. Whatever you want. But all the people are amazing. Very good bar staff. Aweome music and high quality dance.

If you were, or wanted to be, one of the weird kids somewhen between 1980 and 1998, this dive-bar-cum-nite-club probably has the event youre looking for, and the DJ who knows your jam.

The crowd loves to dance and the music is bumbing. The djs cant mix tracks to save their lives, thats the only downside

Great club in the city with a mixed crowd and a good vibe. Cage is fun, and two stages from time to time mixes it up well.
