DNA Lounge

Fun little place. Bartender staff was awesome. Good sounding venue. Pizza was OK, but basically, bar pizza for when hungry. The staff was nice. Area is a little tough. Just be careful of your surroundings, and youll be alright.

Love this party place! Such a great venue for large and smaller events! The staff working here are very cool and professional, the sound system is strong and clean, and the drinks are rock steady 🤘✨🤠

Large venue is pretty cool. Had a fun time watching bands and hanging out with friends. The upstairs room has terrible sound with microphones that kept cutting out during sets; it was hard to enjoy the bands I came to see when they were stuck up there instead of on the main stage. Pizza is barely edible and overpriced.

Excellent venuePros big lay out lots of rooms and places to watch the show many options.Huge variety of music and events Bands, DJs, huge acts, burlesque they have offerings for every taste.Food theres a pizza joint connected with a good variety of food and snacks.CONSSTAIRS theres some very steep stairs on both sides of the main stage. As well as the main entrance of the second venue.Makes it difficult to navigate in big crowds or if youre differently able.Harm reduction they used to have a large harm reduction presence. Not any more. Many events are all ages so it was a huge comfort to have harm reduction available. Especially at EDM events.

My first experience at DNA was the So Stoked pride. And it did not disappoint. My second was normal so stoked and the vibe was much more chill but never missed a beat for music or drinks or food. The coat check person was super accommodating, and the drinks are delicious. And thats before you get your hands on some of the pizza! All around excellent venue.

The venue was decent but somewhat small… alright for crowds of 100 or less. Didn’t get to try the pizza but I heard it was good. All of the staff was really nice except for the manager or owner. I was put on the guest list and I have been going to a lot of the shows and working at them with a lot of these guys since about 2006. I was told I could put my backpack in the room the headliners were keeping their stuff as well as hanging out. I was in the process of switching hotels and wound up going to the show last minute after I was told I was confirmed. Went out to get sandwiches for myself and a friend, after I got back I was told the owner started freaking out about a backpack being in a corner when it realistically wasn’t in anybody’s way. It was also sad that someone wound up losing their backpack that night… So I put it next to a garbage can by the merch table since I’ve been to dozens of these shows with these people and I know I can trust them.Later on in the night the guy who was in charge was just trying to rush everybody out of the door when nobody was even close to being completely packed up. He actually watch the artists out of the venue when we were still out there and was extremely rude. He killed the whole entire vibe and Manny other people would have handled that situation a lot differently… All of us remained polite and in character though.As a booking agent I would not recommend using this venue as a rental if you could find another spot unless their management improves. Other than that, it was a pretty cool spot… The bartender was cool and so was all of the security. Management… Who was only one guy, was extremely unpleasant to deal with and a complete buzz killer.

This place can be a little standoffish but its a cool place Ive been going there more and more they have lots of different events to cater to all your needs its a good place to party

My favorite club/lounge. Drinks aren’t expensive, amazing place for dubstep edm riddim music. Lots of big artists have been here. Lots of fun moshpits, super PLUR. Best part they allow re entry as long as you get a stamp.

Staff is amazing! Especially Jade for monitoring the pit and ensuring it didnt go too crazy snd everyone stayed safe! Good job! Loved it

Good food 🤘, okay draft beer selection 🙄, exceptional hot boy selection 💯, on both sides of the counter. No seriously, the staff here is like a Sean Cody casting call. And Im okay with that. 👍

Hands down one of the best nightclubs in san francisco.Friendly and accepting atmosphere with great music and good drinks! Great place to make friends and hangout. Prices are fair the bar is a little pricey but not unreasonable. Has 2 dance floors downstairs and upstairs. Also has 2 bars and plenty of places to sit including outdoor seating. Theres a cafe with good food, the pizza and onion rings are the best i recomend those. The staff does a great job at keeping the place clean helping guests and keeping out the riff-raff.

Good to have few dance floor to choose from. Great music, nice people. We ordered shots of tequila ($9 each!). and it wasnt worth it at all, because tasted like tequila with water! Tap water available for free. The entrance was $20. You can join guest list on FB,so it can me cheaper for some events.

Two level venue with 4 bars. Large dance floor downstairs with stage, upstairs lounge and bar, second dance floor upstairs, bottle service style seating, and an area overlooking the larger dance floor. Typically they play different music on the large dance floor vs the smaller one. Typically mostly straight club for 18+. But they do host gay parties.Ground floor is an attached pizza restaurant.

Great music venue. Frequent punk rock performers. Small stage upstairs and larger one downstairs.

One of the main clubs in SF for dubstep/bass music. I feel at home here all the time. Friendly staff, reasonable priced drinks.Some shows can get really packed but usually not too hard to find a spot to dance

All the staff was very friendly. Sound system for the concert was good. The slices of pizza were good, and they had several options (a little pricey, but thats life in the big city). The concert ticket was very fairly priced. I would go again next time there is a show I want to see.

Worst club to ever exist. I have been to much better places. No regulations. No well trained staff. Bar tender was really nice but they need to work on their capacity limits and security service.

This is the email I sent to themHi this is Yongwon Kwun. I went to the DNA lounge in San Francisco(375 11th St, San Francisco, CA 94103). I went there from 1am at May 4th, I was planning to stay there until 2:30, but then the staffs told us to leave the stage by 1:32am. I talked to the staffs and manager, but they asked me to talk to you. I just wanted my money to be refunded because the money I paid was to entertain me and my friends until 2:30am. They tend to be as informative as possible, but they just asked me to email you as a result. I have the evidence of the attitude of the staffs talking towards me, and others so could you possibly reply my email for the further information? This email is to require you for the refund.Thank you,Yongwon Kwun

This used to be an old haunt of mine with my friends back in the 1990s. So it was very nostalgic to come back & see Angelo Moore as Dr. Madd Vibes & the Missing Link. I had seen Angelo with Fishbone here several times in the 90s.The venue was great & with great service. I will definitely come back to this place.

Probably my favorite venue in SF. Always something going on and you can even get pizza before going back home.Loved deathguild on mondays and a variety of other music events from metal to electronic.

I came here for the NYE bash.Its dirty, stuffy, and creepy. Did I mention that someone grabbed my crotch while I wasnt looking. The other dance floors ate tiny and arent even worth it. I wouldnt come back. Too many creeps lurking around.

Another night with table service. Great value...totaly worth having a place to rest your feet. We will be back. I love having the pizza joint open downstairs. Make sure to catch the 11 oclock show.

Came here on 1/13/24. Staff didn’t let us know that the venue was divided into two separate concerts. We payed 25$ each to enter within 15 min we went back to the front to see if we could get our money back because there was only like 15 people there and we wanted to go next door and they refused, even tho they are owned by the same people. Pretty much stayed there for an hour and left, we felt like we got robbed. I’ve have a good experience in the past but this one for sure was the worst. If I wanted to party in a 1000 square feet I would have stayed home.

Iconic event venue in the Soma area of SF. Located in a great location as theres other venues to explore in terms of nightlife. One of the best options for late night pizza in the Soma area.

This ‘mash up’ idol was so fun!! The host, contenders, performances, judges - everyone was great! An amazing Saturday night - it’s called ‘Bootie SF’ they served the ‘crazy Paula abdul’ as a signature drink which was very sugary but pretty good - $11 so not too bad on price but it was also very small. Overall, great time. Crowd was lively too!

Ive only ever been here for shows, but the artists they put on are fantastic! I drive down from Reno just to see some of their concerts.

I went on Monday for Deathguild. Fun and entertaining Gothic/Darkwave Event with good Dj’s and sound system 🔊. When we got hungry we popped next door for DNA Pizza 🍕

Me and a group of friend went to the club for the Lana del Rey. The staff were rude and clicked their teeth multiple times when asked a question when we entered the room. The bouncer also were also extremely rude and forcefully dragged us out the pit. I would strongly suggest anyone to avoid coming to this place.

I went for the bootie show. It was really fun. Staff is friendly, crowd is nice, music is decent. There are two floors with different DJ. I bet you will like one of them for sure.Best time to enter the club is 11pm. Also there is no dress code.

Best place to have a great time. Most people are chill and the crowd is great. Nice place to meet people. I’ve been to many other clubs in sf and they all have a downside. This place is often a great experience

This review is for the very small room(attic) upstairs to the left of the main room. Crazy steep stairs and the only way in and out. I went to see the Meteors. Im not a huge fan but wanted to see some live music. Perhaps they arent the draw that they used to be. Had I known I was going to be in this cramped space with too many other people, Id never bought the tickets for me and my girl.

PLEASE BEWARE OF VENUES SECURITY AND OVERCROWDING! Due to managements greed hosting simultaneous events, we were put into a cramped section away from the main stage. It was immensely overpopulated due to the size of the room but with well over 100 people. The entry and exit path was a cramped narrow stairwell that got filled with people. In the event of an emergency people would have been trampled and tumbling down attempting to exit, The other fire exit was blocked off because of them hosting another event.This negligence, In combination with an overpopulated room with intoxicated and drug-using individuals, poses serious safety risks and should be addressed as potentially criminal. In fact blocking off a fire exit is illegal. Mosh pit and fight happened that night. Im so thankfull to have gotten out of there in time. But the lack of foresight or care to do this is disgusting.On a previous visit When I entered the pizza parlor from the club, a security guard, lacking visible identification, accused me of not having a ticket and forcibly grabbed me. Despite spending around 15 minutes inside, when I reached the pickup area, a man from a group of casually dressed individuals approached me. Assuming it was an unnecessary conversation, I attempted to move past him, but he grabbed me, questioning my ticket despite my visible presence. This incident, along with the security staffs overall lack of awareness, left me feeling harassed and frustrated.

Wish I could give less than one star. The main issue? The bouncer. We were kicked out so rudely it was shocking. It wasn’t just the way we were treated; it felt like outright discrimination, especially against Asians in our group. No explanation, no decency, just thrown out. It’s clear they don’t care about treating people fairly or with any respect.And here’s a tip: if you face this kind of treatment, don’t forget to dispute the charge with your credit card company. Places like this shouldn’t get away with such behavior.

Undoubtedly best place to party in SF. We went on DJ mashup’s 18th anniversary and it was lit. The part is it has a pizzeria right next to it so you can eat whenever hungry. Loved it place and definitely going to come back soon.

It a huge night club.There are 4 rooms with different themes.I went here a Friday night, at midnight there is a show like strippers.If you want to dance with electro music, I think it the place to be in SF

I had a huge problem with staff telling djs to turn it down. If you can’t handle loud music don’t go to a club. It’s even worse when you have people in the crowd have pointless conversation whole others are trying to enjoy the music. The music shouldn’t be low enough for me to hear people having a full conversation

The staff here are unprofessional and dont know how to do their jobs. I was here from out of town to see Gaera, Uada, Charach Angren, and Rotting Christ. Gaera played a great set without issue, but when Uada was up, the sound team suddenly couldnt figure out how their own equipment worked. We waited for over an hour and then the venue cancelled Uadas whole set.No matter what legendary band comes through town, if theyre at the DNA Lounge, I wont be there. The venue grossly disrespects artists and fans.Other issues: Incompetent security, lax fire safety, and overall bad time management.

Amazing mashup nights. Come before 10 for $10 cover otherwise it is $20. You can always get tickets online at cheaper price. If they have popular artists mashup night the line can go around the block even at 10 pm. They have a pizza place right next to it which is decent for midnight snacks!

Wow. Horrible experience. $25 cover and literally no one was in the “club”. This isn’t a club. It’s barely a dive bar. Total ripoff.

Loved it, so fun! And having pizza there is a plus! Its also really good! 🍕🍕

This place sucks more and more by the year. The drinks are expensive. The bouncers and security are rude, condescending, and aggressive. Theres young crowds at some of these events, but that doesnt stop them from power tripping. They yell and curse at people in line outside and in the pizza place. Anytime they get the chance, they escalate things and use force. They kick people out without asking them to leave first. They put hands on people and drag them out, when its not necessary. They dont care about what actually happened, if they suspect you of doing something or just want you out, then youre out. Theyre smug about it too, Ive heard them brag about taking kids fakes at the door and kicking people out. Ive seen some crazy stuff outside in line, like a bouncer pinning someone down on the ground and people crowding around yelling at him to stop because the dude was saying he couldnt breath (this was a few yrs ago, but not the only time Ive seen them pin someone down). Ive seen people with tickets get denied entry for stupid stuff. They just look at IDs they dont even scan them and theyre quick to accuse people of having fakes. and FYI they dont do refunds ever under any circumstances

If you are in san fansisco and looking for a good night club , I would suggest you visit this place.

Since it is one of the few places that will bother loosing money to have all ages shows and book cool bands and DJ me and my friends went and after having to wait 5 minutes the guard was nice but took one of my friends fake ID.The bartender was ruude and totally wouldnt sell me a drink because my wrist band was on the wrong wrist. The dance floor was awesome and sound was great but when my friend was taking a sip of the bottle I brought in from outside he was told he had to leave and they illegally confiscated the vodka. Just as the last band was starting me and a friend went to the bathroom and my friend had this small bag of flour in his pocket and we kind threw at each other laughing and the security guard walked in and grabbed the straws then threw us out. He wouldnt refund our money or let me speak to the owner.I mean the place was cool the price was like they wanted to make enough money to keep the lights on or something but the staff wouldnt just let us have a good time. For sure when I turn 21 Ill only go there when there is something cool happening.

Always a good times when I go. Ive never had issues with staff. Its nice that they have the pizza spot next door.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS PLACE! SO BRUTAL! THEY GOT MY ARM BRUISED THROWING HANDS KICKING YOU OUT FOR NO REASON! THEY KICKED ME AND MY BOYFRIEND OUT OF THE PLACE FOR JUST TAKING PICTURES! JOE AND BRANDON NO CONSIDERATION AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Nice club with two main music rooms and a quieter pizza place. Regularly scheduled events, Theme nights, concerts, and special events, most of which are 18+ (instead of 21+) so if youve got younger friends just joining the scene its a good intro. Reasonable staff who take safety seriously.

Since I’m 20 this is one of the few clubs I can get into because they have a lot of 18+ events. I’ve been there three times and gone to the different rooms and it’s so fun! I love love love the pop music video nights above DNA. The events in the main room are super cool to. Feels like a rave lol. Its a super comfortable environment and like no one is judgemental. I would definitely recommend going here! They also sell pizza and food downstairs which is great! Be aware the water is $4 🥲 only downside

I was a sober monitor for my sorority event and they didnt let me in, and refused to breathalyze me.

Please be careful and aware when youre going here. When buying tickets you might not get into the bigger venue part of the club. On Saturday 150-200+ people were put in the small confined room about as big as a small one bedroom apartment. The entrance was a extremely narrow stairway which people had to exit and enter at the same time and if there was an emergency we all would have been gravely in danger trying to exit and navigate out the only exit. Because apparently the other one was blocked off completely. They oversold tickets so while the floor was extremely packed a massiveline for people who already pre-ordered were stuck outside. There was also no proper calculations being done to check if the room was above capacity people were sneaking in security was really bad And while most people just want to have crazy fun time we dont want to be put in danger. I heard there was a private 21 plus event in the larger venue downstairs which is why most of us got put in this small room but its still very never collectful and greedy to oversell the tickets and put all of us in dangered. I honestly highly even doubt if they have been approved to have that room specifically as a private venue itself for that many people

Came to see gorgasm and they didnt come but still great show.

They security keep wanting us to put our drinks down on the table-chair unattended while we go to the bathroom, instead of giving it to a friend with 100% knowledgeable and view that they aren’t drinking. Also be careful they keep following my girl around. From checking the bathroom stall, after she peed, to watching her eat her pizza. They literally follow her for exactly 17 minutes. We timed! Even when she’s taking videos, you can see the same staff behind her. They stop after she say “what’s up” and asking if anything was wrong.Hopefully they can give their staff better training.

I have been coming here for years now, and as one of the last independent venues in town, I think its one of SFs treasures. The Monday night goth/industrial night is one of the most welcoming club environments Ive been in anywhere; people look out for each other. Good drinks and decent food help, but the people are what make this place worth coming to.

Went there for a metal show. There was no rail and they werent prepared for crowd surfers. Instead of pulling a crowd surfer on stage and taking her off, the guard shoved her back into the crowd. They had an event or something after the show and one band didnt get to play because the venue had technical difficulties with the front vocal mic and took a long time to fix it. I wasnt able to properly enjoy the show because IT WAS TOO COLD and cold air was blowing right on me. I heard others in the crowd mention how cold it was. The bathrooms were terrible.

This club has full of excitement. Here, I found my first love, and its so magical. The music here is very lively, and the crews are very energetic. It is a huge club that can accommodate hundreds of people. And I believe that this club turns into an event place for any occasion in the morning. Highly recommended!

An intimate venue that I liked a lot. They arranged a very specific juice and water request for our VIP table as we did not consume Alcohol. I’m sure it meant going out to the store. Thank you!

Strict with alcohol. I was at an 18+ event with my daughter last night.We were asked to leave when she was caught taking a sip of my drink.5 stars because every employee tried to give me a warning they were watching her.She is living in San Francisco for a year of service. I am from NC visiting for her birthday. It was her first time at a club and her first time being asked to leave a club.We all have jobs to do and they were serious about doing theirs.Cool, small club. Great drinks. 💯

The sound was very good here. Saw Xeno and Oaklander.

I went for the all women dance after Saturdays Pride event in San Francisco and loved it!!! Great venue, friendly staff, amazing vibe, and felt safe enough to cut loose

We had a wonderful time. Make sure to arrive early if you have reserved seating to get a great spot. It was their anniversary celebration show and it was phenomenal. It was our first time to go to a burlesque show and we were mesmerized by all the different acts. We loved the stripping Granny, the lovely lady who did the lion King, and the hula hoop girl were all so entertaining they truly made our night. We would definitely go again. It was a nice intimate venue.

I’ve been to this club for the past two years and it has really downgraded now. The staff are rude AF, especially the lady who stamps your wrist. She was on a power trip talking about some “You cant go in unless you talk to me” when I asked her where I put my ticket. The one blonde cashier with front bangs working in the pizza area also so rude when you try to ask a simple question. Like why y’all work there if you hate it so much?? Just cause it’s a club doesn’t mean people aren’t aware of how they are being treated. The guy who checks IDs, bartenders, the ones making the pizza and one security guard at the door are always friendly, I don’t know what’s up with everyone, especially when it had just opened. It’s an 18+ club as well so be prepared for the crowd to not have club etiquette. You’ll get pushed around, have drinks spilled on you, have drunk underage people not handling there liquor etc. Its given things like this will happen but it’s truly become a mess compared to a 21+ club. They advertised Doja Cat night to seem so cool just for the playlist to be remixes most of the night, the crowd literally would stop singing so they’d have to transition out. That’s how bad it was getting. ALSO they said they were open till 5 on maps and kicked everyone out RUDELY at around 2:20. Not worth it unless you desperate for a night out.

Had a bartender serve me a double drink for last round. after charging me he very aggressively told me that i better chug it because they were about to close. i went back to my friends and did my best to drink it quickly. before a single song had ended the bartender came up to me extremely angry - grabbed the cup out of my hand, crushing it and spilling the drink on me and cutting my mouth on the straw. it was really messed up and disrespectful. didnt have to sell me the drink knowing it was so close to closing - i would have been fine taking my money to any other bar in the area. didnt have to be angry or aggressive to me. if he came up and asked me to throw it away i would have been fine to do that. this guy has issues.. super concerning

Love the shows, Hubba Hubba and Bootie

Cool lounge, definitely a must to check out. Design of this place is reminiscent of the Regency Ballroom. Bartenders were grumpy (and add themselves tips as if the cocktails arent already $14!💀) but oh well, cant be perfect. Cool place all in all!

I was having a great time and all of a sudden the security guard came and walked me outside. He said I can’t go back in because I made somebody uncomfortable. It’s a dance club some people may not like the way you dance because you dance better than them or a different style. I feel uncomfortable often because the cramped space I have to get through people to find an open spot to dance. Should I report every girl and guy that got in my way? I was told by Joe (security guard ) that if anyone says a person feels uncomfortable around you you’re immediately out. I’m extremely respectful to all women and men and ensure that all dancing is consensual. There is NO way I offended anyone! Ruined my night! I’m really disappointed in the process where they just believe whoever without hearing the other person’s side.

Worst Club I’ve ever been. Paid $25 for entry and after 5 minutes we got kicked out cause the bar keeper sold us a beer (for $8) and one bouncer realized that we weren’t allowed to drink it since we are 19. nice job, nice crew, nice ambiente.Definitely will come back next weekend!

It was fun! Bathrooms are pretty bad but I think that’s expected when you go clubbing. Pizza place attached is pretty good. But I got kicked out for throwing out a white claw in the trash next to the venue. Someone had thrown it on the floor next to me when I went to take a breather and I went back to throw it out then party some more but since I wasn’t 21 and holding the empty crushed can (not even drinking it) they crossed out my stamp. Didn’t even let me explain myself. Felt like I wasted my money. The bouncer was still nice about it and I didn’t raise a stink because they probably have to deal with a lot of rude people.

Great acts, super cool stage + venue

This place has the best staff!!!Love coming here for over 20 years!!!Thanks guys!!!

So stoked it’s pride was super fun! However events like death guide were very raunchy. Very shady club go-ers especially at Death Guild. The lady employee working death guide at the podium after you enter the club was disrespectful and very verbally aggressive. I didn’t stay long after that encounter with her. She kinda ruined the night for my friend and me. I’ve been made fun of for coming here and everyone I know doesn’t have a favorable opinion of this place. There are definitely better clubs nearby.

Love going to Bootie on Saturday’s. Drinks are not great but pretty strong. 2 floors with different music, sometimes they open different rooms as well. Always good dancing and music. Nice party atmosphere. The pizza place connected to it is wonderful drunk food and a fun place to hang out after dancing. I keep meaning to try different clubs but always come back to this one because I always have a fun time here.

My friend would give it a zero star if he could.He is 24, and even though he looks young he gave the club his ID and without going through the proper scanning machines like at a proper club. They took a look at his ID and determined that it was a fake (when it was not) AND proceeded to confiscate his ID without his consent. He thought they were scammers and then had to call the police on them to get it back. Two police cars showed up and they eventually let him inside the club anyway… he did NOT have a good time. It was not worth all of the trouble.Beware of your ID taken away if it’s an out of state one, especially the ones from the East Coast.

Great venue! Spacious enough to choose your own energy level. The pizza portion is nice to be able to duck into. Drinks are pricey relative to other venues but theyre strong. The restroom hygiene is subpar and the toilets without seats are just weird.

Small venue, but great selection of bands and really a great place to see a concert. Plus, they have pizza downstairs.

Wanted to try this place out and go to my first rave-type event so I bought some tickets for me and my friends. Got in the long line for the door ( expected) and was greeted by the yelling of a security guard to back against the wall ect. Once again this was expected but the tone being used was something between an army sergeant and a an annoyed cop. Anyways show my id to a wonderful lady who put a wristband on my hand (supposedly the wrong one which I did not know until later).Get my tickets and get inside, order a drink. Bartender noticed my wristband on wrong wrist but still gives me a drink. Have some time to make my way up to the second floor (Im just exploring as this is my first time here). I am just hanging out with my friends with our drinks and all of a sudden a group of security guards come up around my group acting as if I have done something horribly wrong. They ask for ID and ask me who gave me my wristband. I describe the lady and they say we dont have anyone like that here. What really got me is that when the man checking my id (the same guy who was barking at us in line earlier) said Thats a good one, immediately incriminating me and assuming it was a fake. I was brought to tears and taken outside (my gracious friends joined me) so that yet another member of staff could check my ID. They were still confused about the woman who originally gave me my wristband. Anyways, they seemed to be offering me another but also said I could not attempt to come back to the club with that ID.By that time I was already upset with the attitude given to me and I just wanted to leave so we all did and continued our night elsewhere. (Some kind individuals at a bar noticed I was upset and informed me that, as locals, they stay clear of DNA. Go figure.)I wanted to experience PLUR, but the staff was not embodying it that night. Thanks DNA.

Cozy venue to see bands up close. Sound system issues night I went. Venue offered $1 beer+ jameson shot. Didnt get any because dont drink! Soda would been fine. Would visit again

Went for the first time on a crowded Friday, and definitely was out of my element, but in a good way. There were a total of 4 dance rooms! No, you cannot hear the music from other dance floors which is great. I enjoyed dancing and listening to the awesome live Djs. Everyone seems to be jolly and minding their own business😂.

We had fun here! Good bar service, helpful staff, and two separate rooms with different vibes depending on what youre feeling. Audio quality was good, but it probably couldve been louder. Temperature was well maintained, never got too hot.

Just went for the first time at this venue and, both the staff and the community were so welcoming and friendly. Also the interior looked DOPE! Couldnt have been a better first rave for my friend. Oh and s/o to David the bouncer!!! He was so kind to everyone. He does a great job representing the EDM community. ❤️ this place Im definitely coming back.

Came here for an indie music night. Had so much fun with the many different floors with different music. Drinks are expensive, but then again, it is sf. However, a solid pregame before and you only need two drinks indoors. Awesome vibe for a low key dancing place. Dont expect much look wise, bit other than that cant really go wrong.

Sooo... I went to the circus party & found out that there were underage Females who were let in, but people with valid proofs of vaccinations were denied entry. Additionally, staff seemed to not want to be there, making it uncomfortable for patrons to want to stay.Maybe that was just my experience? But even if it was... Its still pretty unsettling.

Pretty small venue with supposedly 3 floors. However, when I went on a Saturday night only 2 were open. The music here is crowd pleasing and they didnt play a lot of new music, probably because the DJ was in his late 40s/50s. The charge was $20 after 1am which is ridiculous. There are tons of dudes here and the drinks are overpriced. The speakers here are loud and don’t even sound good, it sounds like they are playing music out of amplifiers with absolutely no bass. Would steer clear of this place unless you like spending a lot of money for sub-par clubbing.

It is one of the most popular lounges in SF. Music is very amazing here. They play electrifying and rock music which everyone enjoys a lot.In addition, they provide various drinks as per requirement. Although it is little pricy but quality is very fine.Moreover, crowd is very young and energetic there. Nice place to meet different people under one roof.

I come here regularly on Saturday nights for Booty, a top 40 mash-up night event. I LOVE it because I get to sing and dance to all my guilty pleasures. Drinks are moderately priced and can be strong depending on what you order. It ultimately depends on what bartender waits on you. There are two different rooms with distinct music. The smaller room upstairs has electronic/trance music AND it has a bar. There is also a ton of seating space upstairs and a bar that is way less crowded than the downstairs. The main dancing room is complete with a dancing stage. A really cool feature about this place is that there is a food bar upstairs AND it is directly connected to a pizza parlor downstairs that stays open AFTER the club closes down. I totally recommend going, however, parking around the area is a little sketchy so cabbing or public transit might be a better option.

The DNA Lounge is one of the most notably respected lounges and San Francisco as well as Northern California when it comes to throwing electronic dance music festivals. When its not about the music, the venue offers decent food for lunch and dinner times. Im not going to say the place is clean, but it does keep his self maintained enough for it to be presentable. I definitely would recommend.

By far one of my favorite all-time SF venues. Has always remained a solid dance club for the goth scene on Mondays with Deathguild. Every performer Ive seen, about three dozen or so over the last decade, has always been a perfect compliment to what the venue has to offer, in terms of space and acoustics.

Went here during December and came here for the annual ‘Santa Crawl’ and it was a lot of fun. Got there around 9:00pm and drinks were half off till 10. Great vibe at this bar. The DJ wasn’t that great but still had a blast.

Cool vibe, great shows, nice parties, I like it. PS: a Microsoft-free zone, thanks to the quite special owner, which is also available on Mastodon. Linux FTW!

My husband and I went to an astronomy talk bring being held at the DNA lounge. We were celebrating an early Valentines day and it was an amazing experience! The bartenders were attentive, the pizza was great and the event itself was awesome! Love this place and would go back again for future events

I was introduced to this place back in 1998 with my ex girlfriend when we moved from the east coast to West Coast.. .. typical genre included Punk, Metal, Alternative, Gothic, Industrial, trance ....etc.20 years later but theyre still supporting the same Most Excellent genre and also all new Order styles of rave and indie.... great music.Also... DNA Pizza Lounge and Nightclub have a great selection of food and beer liquor.. And Wine beverages also coffee and other non-alcoholic all night long leading up to a breakfast menu in the morningbbg.This is all overseen by a hard-working and respectful staff always remember as I have to respect them also.So stop by anytime ....24/7 to experience the same great quality food entertainment and service

Bit pricey for the quality it ended up being. went for the weeknd event but most of the songs were by other artists 😕 lots of kids although I did love how they gave out neon light cat ears

Hubba Hubba burlesque was the best!

Hella eclectic venue. Everything from dubstep and riddim to deicide metal and burlesque dancing. Pizza for all diets, and so many rooms. Awesome decorations and fun vibes.

Ive really only been here for their upstairs bar and for their pizza. The upstairs bar is... fine. I went for some burlesque shows and it wasnt always really easy to see everything. The pizza is also sub par, but its quick and they have an outdoor seating area so its an easy place to stop if you are going to slims or butter.

I really wanted to give this place a good review because they have good music, but a bartender at the 2nd floor was so rude, unhelpful, and Racist. As a popular club, this service is unacceptable.First, he refused to service without mask (understandable regardless the club doesnt require it no more). Then he threw a mask box to us with impatient maner.Then he refused to service my drink because the band on my wrist is on the wrong side, does he out of his mind, he knew its nothing to do with me, they were the one put it on mine.My friend was being nice asked him if he could order a drink for me, the bartender again refused with a rude maner saying that one person can only order One drink at a time.I dont know whether if this is the companys policies or just bc my friend and I are Asians, or he just being rude to everyone, wonder how many ppl he ruin their nights. For whatever reasons, no one deserves to be treated that way especially for a popular spot. Wont return again!

This lounge is full of pure energy! Id say its a little small and a can be tight to get around sometimes, but a really fun time. This place is open till late plus a pizza parlor connected to it. Price is a little high at the door- but overall great experience at this location in the bay.

Coming from a guide that is very local, I have had a great time with the not-quite-browned $6 pizza along with the slightly confrontational doorman. Truly a MUST VISIT for anyone interested in good country music, low-key atmosphere, and hard core raving. Watch your phone though - theres rumored to be a ring of street urchins that routinely snatch phones in exchange for said pizza.

Very fun venue for niche music. DNA typically frequently throws genre-specific EDM DJs and allows for local artists to come out and showcase their music. There are quite a few rooms to listen to music in case you want to change it up a bit.The drinks are decent there - not too strong, but good beer selection. Always purchase a ticket in advance to save a few bucks.

What a gnarly place! You will have anything from burlesque shows to electronic music in a given night. Excellent bar with a super wicked house drink. There are plenty of beers on tap too. The area multiple levels and different rooms to chill in. You really cant beat this place if you are looking for a spark. Also, they have pizza 🍕 you can get next door twenty four hours a day! Check this place out next you are in San Francisco! Plenty of street parking in the area too! Lets rock and roll 🍥

Hey, if you want to pay $6.00 for a slice of pizza here, be my guest. The venue itself is crummy. Sound is tolerable. My band and friends bands have played here countless times over the years, and now I try to avoid going as much as I can. There are so many better places to see a show in San Francisco.

This place is small, so it gets crowded. But the crowds are always laid back and fun to party with. The DJs are super cool and play good music. I would recommend coming to this place if you want to have a chill night with your friends.

I was booked as DJ and a photographer and was paid in full that night. The bar its is kinda dirty inside and need a through cleaning but the drink area was clean and well stocked. They have all ages and 21+ events there so always check each event for details before attending anything. The staff is super nice, the drinks are mixed well and some are even very creative. They have non-alcoholic specialty drinks for under 21 and some amazing 21+ alcoholic drinks as well.They have a pizza place next door that you can enter threw the wall and eat some food. The smoking area is out that way as well. I reccomend going to their monthly event called So Stoked featuring amazing EDM DJs and artists.

Bootie SF here on Saturday nights is THE BUSINESS. If youre a fan of dancing, mash up music, and drag shows, this is the place to get all three on the weekend. Theres several different rooms with distinctly different music and the crowd there is fun and not very creepy compared to other clubs. Everyones there to have fun and theres a large number of bars around the club to order drinks from. Cover is $15 (or $10 before 10 PM), but well worth it for the experience. The line can get pretty long and the dance floor super can get really crowded, so get here early for the best experience.

It wasnt expensive, line wasnt long . Good crowd and variety of dance rooms and easy to get drinks . Pizza next door and was really good so I was impressed with dna! I would recommend checking it out. Lil out dated inside but all in all good time

This place has gone downhill! Also went on new years after concert at bill graham. We ordered drinks during last call at 1:45am to have our drinks snatched from our hands after 1 or 2 sipsbecause it was 2 am. There was not even a warning, just a guy running through aggressively snatching drinks from hands (super rude). Also all the other rooms closed right at 2am after we paid $20 each to get in. Such a disappointment.

Stop by after count down on new year. The ticket was $20. Got into the dancing area and it’s ...... not that great. The environment is a little.. bit not that good. It’s a pretty dirty in the restroom. No toilet paper not seat cover. Will not come back ...

I think the drinks I had here were the worst Ive ever had. Pretty sure you could get sick from the draft and soda well pipes, totally disgusting probably never cleaned, zero effort by anyone who works here.

Its a really odd nightclub but that being said it is a lot of fun. Expect to pay a cover and once inside pay for really crappy overpriced drinks. Watch your phones as there have been a lot of thefts here lately (most SF bars fall into this category). Also watch your drinks, drinks here are so expensive that seasoned patrons will snatch drinks when you arent looking.Great part about this place are all the different venues within the club. No matter what music you like to party to they will have something that youll like.

The club is really good... We were in San Francisco for only one night we heard about this club it was pretty good . But the location is not safe at all. We parked our car across the street and someone broke into our car and stole all of our stuff.. so park carefully and keep you stuffs in the trunk not on the seats.

I have been for Mortified and Point Break Live. Plenty of different bar areas to go get your drinks and waitresses also make the rounds getting drink orders. If you get a double of any drink, it will be spendy but also the only drink you need to last you the show. They are strong!The pizza and sandwich place next door and connected to DNA lounge is good, but service is outstandingly slow. Heating up a slice of pizza and making a sandwich shouldnt take 40 minutes. Not sure if it was a bad night, but the food was good.

I was there on January 7. They checked us for our covid documents for about half an hour (which is totally understandable). What happened next was a mixture of misfortune on my side +lack of discipline and rudeness on their side. I was chilling with a random friendly dude on a table and midst our conversation while I was checking my phone for a moment , he put a small bottle of vodka (which he had brought from outside) and put it in my hand. Before I can check anything and have the situation under my control, the security came to me and I told him the truth but that random dude just pretended that he does not know me just to save himself. Even though I respectfully asked the security guy to check the cameras to see whos right (there were plenty of them inside there) he rudely teared my bracelet instead, and when I asked to talk to the manager, him and the other security guards offensively harassed me verbally with some curse words and one of them pushed me (which is an obvious act of battery). I completely comprehend the high stress of working in such atmosphere but this was a very improper unprofessional set of behaviors from a club which initially seemed a very decent high-disciplined place. what a shame!

Security guard violated my title 3 rights last night Ill be filing a lawsuit unless she is removed from your staff.

Came here for a Mortified comedy show. The show was awesome and the DNA Lounge is a cool venue- I watched from the upper balcony and it was a little crowded but not too bad. Drinks were not super cheap but they were strong so no complaints there. I did get charger $4 for a cup of tonic water and that seemed a little steep.

I bounced here for years so Im biased, but I love DNA Lounge and if they survive the great small business purge of the plague of 20/21, I cant wait until its safe to congregate indoors, so I can go see shows there again. If their upstairs rooms were ADA accessible Id give them 5 stars.

Horribly rude security. I don’t care that they are checking vaccination cards or requiring masks but common, being this strict is outrageous. Guy walking around staring at everyone making sure their mask is 100% on the entire show or threatens to kick you out. Gets mad if he so much as sees you touch your vape you have. Don’t come here if you don’t wanna get harassed by security for taking a sip of your drink or a quick puff off your vape.

This venue is pretty grungy, but still nice. Its small, but fits a decent amount of people. We were here for the Hubba Hubba Revue performance, and it was definitely a great show. The space is well accommodated for a variety of different events, and obviously has a well stocked bar ;)

Asked for glass of water; they said they dont give out cups and that Id have to buy a drink. Nickel-and-diming everything. 25% premium for tickets at the door, plus a $2 credit card fee, then $9 beers once youre inside. Booths available for purchase, which then go empty. Ive always admired the owner jwz@, an open source nerd, for his cool ideas. But no wonder this place is going out of business. Really losing touch with the funky, low-key, cheap San Francisco throwback that this place is supposed to be. Not the rebellious cyberpunk haven that I expected. Now its just a punk-ass business. I wish Jamie luck.

This lounge is very nice, iam surprised to take service. All are stuff manners of this shop is very good. Thanks to all. ❤❤

Its big and it has an eclectic mix of events. Ive been to most of them and really enjoyed the Goth night. Everyones in their own world when they dance and dont bother each other the way they do during, say, hip-hop music. Also, if youre an introvert, no fake party-happy smiling is needed on Goth nights!

Is always a pleasure to visit there whether it is to just to drop in or see a show

DNA has many good things to recommend it, the pizza is not one of them. My most recent late night visit found the place closed for the first time in my memory. I heard the place is struggling to keep the doors open and apparently cutting out late night pizza is a cost saving measure. Thats ok because the pizza was unimpressive and overpriced imo although for many in Soma welcome late night emergency food. The venue is good for music and dancing if somewhat dated these days. The sound system could use an upgrade or at least better engineering. But Bootie is still Superfun and its nice to have a venue for all ages/18+ shows and multiple music genres ranging from goth to dubstep, trance, punk and more. I hope somebody takes charge over there and turns it around.

Been coming here for years and still cool place to hit the dancefloor! Drinks are like any other bar/club prices (ie, $4 Waters). Staff is pretty chill and easy going..Theres also the upstairs 2nd room for addl music.

We have arrived at the place literally 5 minutes ago. They have made us to pay the entrance, just to find out that the club is basically empty and they dont sell alcohol after 2 am in San Francisco. Apparently its a common knowledge... However, you here based on accent that obviously I am not from San Francisco, not even states... Not cool... On my way home already

One of the last independent music venues in SF. They book a lot of unique shows, of all diff genres. Big fan of their synth wave nights.

Small venue with a big feel. Great atmosphere, and acoustics are good for a circuit party. Theres a VIP area that often gets opened up for big events. The location is right in the heart of Soma... easy to get to, and the crepe truck is right across the street!

Trash(Edit) it was fun when the actual main room was open now it’s just this upstairs venue with wack local djs playing and lack of people. Bartender is definitely racist. Place is scum. Don’t know what happened.

Bootie SF is the place to be if you just want to dance and have fun. No one is pushy or rude (on purpose) and everyone is there to just have a good time. Make sure you register for the guest list and come before 10:30. Also bring cash as the only bar that takes credit card is located where DNA sells pizza. There are multiple rooms in addition to the main stage, where different music genres can be found. I have see the hip hop room, the top 40s room, the edm or cabaret room (depending on the mood). Overall just a good fun time. Also, Butter Bar across the street is a good place to stop before you head here.

What a great place! A San Francisco tradition! Found great parking. Had a fabulous time. The staff was awesome, the crowd very friendly, as expected. An excellent night on the town!! I highly recommend this establishment!

Call shows of all types. Ive done everything there from hip hop shows to rock shows alternative pop shows to EDM shows. They are pretty heavy handed with the drinks and feature a different drink of the night every single night. The food on DNA pizza side is decent food for a bar to. All the pizza options are tasty. They have stuff for meat eaters and vegan. Theres also decent coffee drinks too. They make a mean chai latte. Beware though, unless specified, all shows are all ages.

4 rooms, although 3 are small. But the organizers almost make interesting theme parties from movie-related, videogames, and even science related!! The place is nice but the events are the most important thing that puts it above the rest of other bigger and more modern clubs

I was there last Saturday. It was super fun - good music, fun crowd, good times. Why the 3 stars then? I’ve never seen A/C so powerful in a CLUB. I’ve been to DNA a few times and had never experienced that. It was COLD in the entire main room despite a sizeable crowd.Now most of our group caught a cold. Why the heck would anyone do that in a club?!Will gladly come back if we’re not talking about dancing in 60 degrees temperature.

One of the best clubs in town. Usually there’s a cover, ins and outs are typically fine. There’s a few rooms and stages. Sometimes a burlesque show upstairs. There is a 24 hour pizza joint in this club complex.

Went here for new years 2022, dubstep and dnb, great time w my gf. Right after the new year some kid who looked 18 with a crustache kicked us out for taking one drag of a vape pen on the way out to smoke it. Dude had no chill, no reason to be such a boy scout, otherwise it was a good time

A wonderful dance club that has been a staple of San Francisco for many years. They host Bootie SF on Saturday nights which offers many rooms of dancing and different styles of music. Attached next door is a pizza establishment that is great for soaking up the many drinks that you may end up consuming while you dance the night away. Unfortunately recently they have changed the club to being 18+, but it still seems to be the same ole DNA Lounge of the past. Hopefully this helps them stay in business as DNA Lounge is a legacy and should serve the city of San Francisco for years to come. Also, for most events if you say you are attending on Facebook, you get a reduced cover cost until 10 or 11pm

An excellent venue to see acts that will blow your mind... i dont like huge venues like Bill Graham. i want to feel like im part of the performance. a venue designed like the DNA Lounge is perfect.plus, the bartenders rock.

Done many videos and photos over the years not a bad venue but not the best either.

Nice intimate club. Definitely not a lounge. In-house DJs are often better than headliners at keeping the crowd dancing, happy, and moving

Super beautiful interior inside. loved different music styles. Dj was super fun. At Halloween party everybody was dressed up in wonderful costumes. Definitely recommend! So much fun!

I went for Death Guild on Monday night, goth/industrial dance night. It was amazing! The DJ was awesome, the bar staff was great, and the pizza place next door was delicious! Loved it!

Wanted to go here for my 26th birthday last night, but as soon as we walked in (to the attached pizza place because we wanted to get food first anyway) the employees were like “THE CLUB IS CLOSED!” There we’re still door guys outside and the posted hours said they’re open until 1:30am. We got there just before midnight. Maybe it was too slow to stay open on a Tuesday, but I was disappointed. I asked if we could still get some pizza and they just kind of ignored us, but one of the guys walked over to the register and just stood there looking at us expectantly. (Review of pizza place on their listing.)

Fantastic place. Thanks Terry, Chris, Jerry, all staff and performers for the unforgettable night

Bootie SF is overrated. I was told it was a great thing to do in San Francisco but the DJs were not mixing properly and the track to track felt forced. Place smells bad and the tickets are expensive. In addition they don’t give you cups of water? Very disappointed and I would not recommend. If you want good mixing/music probably head to the make out room

Oh DNA Lounge. I always seem to find myself here on Friday and Saturday nights. This place hosts a variety of events, my favorite being Bootie SF. This past Friday however was Beyonce Tribute Night put on by the lovely drag queens at Trannyshack. It was an absolutely fantastic time. My only issue with this place is the prices of their awful cocktails. Average mix drink is $9-11 and they are TINY. I almost thought I was back in West Hollywood for how much they were charging. The alcohol to mixer ratio was awful as well. I basically paid $9 for soda water. Honestly though I shouldnt be surprised considering everything in San Francisco is ridiculously expensive. Other than that, the events put on here at DNA Lounge are typically fun times.Note:- Most events have cover charges.- Casual attire, you can wear pretty much anything.

Looks like on a better night it could have been more fun. In my opinion, the $20 cover was not worth the dead bar awaiting at the top of the stairs, but the music was good and the drinks were on par with area prices.

I had a good time but I find the crowd of Polk street bars and clubs to be a little better. I was paranoid the whole time about my phone getting stolen as I had read multiple reviews on Yelp warning about cell phone theft there. There are signs posted all over inside and outside about not flashing your phone if you can avoid it because it makes you a target. It is a bit dinghy.Enough of the bad. The dj was fun and played hopping mash ups. My feet never stopped moving. There is a photo booth upstairs to have fun in. There is also an adjoined food joint next door serving pizza, sandwiches, coffee and more.

We paid $15 at the door for their High Rollers event or whatever that was. We go in and it’s literally a ghost town, ong there were legitimately people playing board games in the corner. Some bs night club right here. We were literally ROBBED. Never going back smhhh

First time here and I was somewhat impressed. The lighting and sound was pretty good, and it had a spacious dance floor. Oh and it goes tip 3 am.The music: The night we went it was Trap/MashUP (EDM and Hip-Hop). We actually stayed tip it closed at 3am.Staff: Nice for the most part. Not douchey at all.Price: This is where it starts falling off. $20??? The club was not packed and Im pretty sure the DJ was a local celebrity at best, but it was still $20, not the only place in SF to charge that, but it still seems steep. Drinks are also really expensive. Over $10 a drink! Well Cranberry Vodka, Jameson on the Rocks, and a Corona cost $26??? Kinda ridiculous for the area its in and the venue type.

Love this place. How can you go wrong with a pizza place attached to a venue?! Looks like a hole in the wall but trust this place is cool. Do wish the seating options were better though.

Great place to catch good djs and bands. Cool, urban local crowd with friendly and up for it atmosphere. Stylish and chic, yet still somewhat casual in attitude. Prices are very good for drinks as well.

Good venue for concerts and live entertainment. Drinks were expensive but bar service was quick. They have an upper level which is kinda cool to hangout, if you want to get away from the madness below. The front of staff in box office was nice, except for the grouchy security lady that takes your tickets.

This place is outdated and past it’s time with it’s rude physical security guards and strict rules, you’d have more fun partying at home. The guards act like they get commission on each person they kick out

Fun place. Ive only been on Saturdays for Bootie mashups and they usually have several different rooms with different types of music to cater to most tastes (main stage for the mashups, a trap room, dubstep, EDM, and maybe others). Theres a pizza place right next door attached to the venue for late night bites. Can get crowded depending on the mashup.

Ah Bootie SF...this multi - tiered dance club has a great vibe and while it gets ridiculously crowded what club doesnt? Music is all over the genre sphere although I have heard they designate a room to hip hop; so hard to find these days! Due to the mix of music, you find there isnt a specific crowd here or type which is a lot of fun. No pretentiousness, just fun. My only gripe would be their cash only policy, I get it but at the same time if you insist on this...at least make it so you dont have to all the way outside of the building to get cash every time. Overall though, if youre looking for a great time check out Bootie/DNA Lounge!

Not a bad venue, just not very memorable. Think House of Blues without the slip shod favela chic that gets Dan Aykroyd all a flutter. Sound quality is on point. Seriously, their engineer must be grizzled and blind Jedi master to get those levels into the sweet spot. Staff was largely indifferent.

All ages club with pricey drinks but there’s multiple dance floors where you can listen to different things.

Music depends on the DJ. I like their mission of mashing oldies and top 40s tho. Drinks are good but it is omg-status super super crowded though. And it doesnt matter what you wear. Have fun!

Very bad and so unprofessional!!!!The bar guy had sold a beer to my little brother he’s 20 years old, he just arrived to U.S. few weeks ago and he’s not aware of the regulations of the U.S and CA the guy sold the beer to him and security saw him drinking that so when he came to ask him to leave the lounge he said why I should leave? Security didn’t even try to explain he turned his hand around his back and forced him to get out of the lounge.DNA you should be very aware that you are dealing with many people all over the world who has grow up in different countries, culture and rules who’s coming to U.S for tourist if you give the permission for some one over 18 years old to enter DNA you should place a pice of paper on each bar saying that alcohol is illegal for anyone who’s under 21 years old , don’t expect someone from outside U.S who’s never been in U.S to know your rules if the bar guy already made the sell for him!!!!!!!Again you are so unprofessional and so rude with your customers.

DNA has lots of different nights, the most popular by far is Bootie. The club doesnt have a pretentious vibe, and the best part... a pizza place is connected to it from inside the club! You can have a pepperoni break and go back to partying.Dress code is casual, and usually no lines. Go upstairs if you want space, they also have a coat check upstairs too. Bottle Service is unnecessary here.

We were there by way of recommendation from the lads at QBAR.They clearly knew us well. It was a Monday night, and was the Death Guild.4/5 stars because the entry fee and drinks are on the pricey side.The music was 5/5. Or perhaps even 6/5. Superb.

Great music and performance venue, helpful staff and good bar service. After a bar night, it is nice to get some cool pizza from next door though its a little scary.

Went there on a Saturday night at 12 and it was completely dead. Absolutely no one there. Completely ruined the mood for night and to top it off there was sticky beer all over the floor definitely would not go back.

Great Food, staff and a superb P.A. and lighting rig when the right guy is running the lights. Fates Warning sounded like a record and have not seen a better display of what can be done with the setup. Surely FW had their own LD. A lot of Rock for a little dough goes on in this venue.

Great Pizza they messed up our early mornig order but they politely made up for it by giving us order free and soda and a whole pizza to take with us, the messup was we ordered and they forgot about us and they were like so sorry letcus refund your money for the slices and give you the slices and well throw in sodas and a whole pizza to take with you. That was kind considerate the slices are $5 each usually and very good.i dont think they forger about peoples orders very often though couldnt have been anymore apologetic and that i like.

This is one of the best venues Ive been to. Staff is amazing and makes sure everything is kept up. Constantly cleaning and checking in people.

So happy that this venue has such a variety of events and participates with the community!

Came here for a metal show and due to equipment malfunction and their desire for a lame after party, one of the bands got canceled, with no refund. Dont go here for live shows!

We went here on a Saturday night for a good time. The theme for Saturdays is Bootie SF in which the DJs spin a bunch of awesome mashups. Here are some tips and tricks:- Dancing on the stage is a must.- You can re-energize at any time by buying a pizza next door - there is a door connecting the two establishments.- Get there early and you may get a complimentary CD- There are four rooms of music, bars, and dance floor goodness.- Dress code is whatever you want, and there is an awesome variety of people.

This is an amazing place to not only see people you know but also see new awesome bands. Im always so amazed at the caliber of bands there. Adjacent to awesome pizza!! Including vegan pizza!

The event and the venue was good. Do not make the same mistake I did and use the ATM outside the place. I sort of knew better than to use it but doing so resulted in my card getting skimmed.

Ive been to DNA Lounge (aka Bootie) 2 times. Each time I had a blast. Went on a random Tuesday the other week, for a MetroWize event, with DJ/VJ Don Lynch, spinning 90s music. The event included 3 free drink tickets, and free entrance, so what is there not to like on a Tuesday night!

When I lived on the same block as DNA I literally ate there or got take out EVERY freakin day. I would get up every morning at 3am just to meet the pastry guy there so I would make sure I got all the sticky buns they had every day. Love those sticky buns!!!

Went there for a show a few months ago. Not a bad venue, though a bit small. Sound was good, and the attached restaurant/bar next good that was open all night seemed like an awesome idea.

Their pizza is normally very good. But this time the crust was burnt when it was warmed up. It was really sad to see that the staff couldnt warm the pizza up without burning the crust. We wont go back. Theres other pizza in town.

Monday Nights offer SFs best industrial dance club. Usually softer new wave is played up front; industrial upstairs around 8 or 9, in the back, closer to 11PM or midnight.

One of the Best place to party. Crowd was amazing, shows were awesome and dj was playing mix songs old/new. Overall night was amazing

My absolute favorite venue!! Best staff from bartenders to security, everyone. They always find my stuff when I lose it. I always feel safe and protected. Great vibes.

Ive only been to DNA Lounge for Bootie, the mash-up-centered dance party hosted by the club every Saturday. Cover charge is generally $10 for early birds (before 10pm) and $15 thereafter. You can also purchase advance tickets from the Bootie website for $15 as well, which allows you to use the express line to get in. On some nights this can be real benefit as lines for entrance can get mighty long at times. Once inside, note that bars are cash only, though there are plenty of ATMs available (with a fee, of course). The club features a number of dance floors each with its own musical style, with mash-ups featured in the main, two-level room. Decor is grungy, as is the atmosphere... this definitely isnt a swanky, ultra-lounge type place, but if youre looking for some decent grooves in a frenetic frat-party type environment, its not a bad option.

Ive only been here for Hubba Hubba Revue but it was an entertaining show, even with the corny theme and hosts. The only thing I would change is more seating in the venue. Standing on the railing, not moving, while drinking for 3 hours leads to a special kind of hangover hell.

Good venue for concerts, no matter where you stand you will get a good view. Awesome staff too.

Great venues. Decent enough attached restaurant. Very nice staff. If you ever have an opportunity to enjoy a music event here, I would suggest jumping on that chance.

Cheap and greasy pizza with phoney punks everywhere. Smells like piss outside. Inside it looks like a hipsters palace. Great if your drunk and dont care about your buttocks the next morning.

This was my first time here; so glad I came on Monday. Definitely coming here again, the burlesque show was amazing and the goth guild was such an experience.! Next time cant come soon enough!

A pretty good time if youre not too bothered by hoards of college age bros. Bootie is a party. The other night we went dancing there was also a furry party happening in one of the upper rooms, and they came down and wandered the floor every now and again in full fur suit gear.

Heres the deal:Plusses:- Bootie SF, the Saturday night party here, is beloved by anybody from frat bros and sorority girls to mission hipsters. The mashups are really good and creative. The shows (usually some kind of drag show or contortionist) can be a bit weird but the drinks are strong and it is an all around great time.- The pizza place attached to it is perfect drunk pizza. Good to have around after a night there.- The plays they perform here, like Terminator Too, are really, really funny - they pull people from the audience to read lines on flash cards and play the Terminator or some other character in the play, and theres lots of fake blood shot into the audience, along with hilariously bad propsDownsides:- Can be a long line for Bootie itself, and there is a cover- Its definitely not posh - the bathroom is a little gross

Good place for bands to practice in front of a crowd. Sound system seems to be okay. Sound engineer needs help. Some bands you cannot even hear the guitar. Looks like the engineer favors bass and drums, not sure why. Night I was there, Nov 18, 2012, sound monitors did not work, bands could not hear themselves. Also Battle of the Bands??? there is no battle. It is just a who is more popular contest. In fact the lead singer of one band sat behind me chatting with friends after his turn and said It does not matter how good you are, just how popular you are. Format should be changed. Winner should be decided by impartial judges (maybe DNA staff?) Otherwise it is pretty stupid in the current format. Will never go to a battle again. Atmosphere otherwise is what would be expected for a lounge with live music. Did not have time to eat in the adjoining pizza restaurant, but it looked good and people have said it is good. May try it next time.Fix your monitors.Change the Battle of the Bands formatThe bands will sound better, your customers would have a better time.Win win.

Good rock atmosphere, one of the best new york pizza slices Ive had.Only downside is terrible beer along w/ terrible beer price.Prices for food is alright for SF.

This place was great. Have nice selection drinks. Prices were appropriate for the location. Next door to this club was a restaurant that serves pizza. Great proximity to other clubs around this area.

Not a fun time here, dirty inside, all the workers are rude music was mid.(same stuff repeated) I had some interesting conversations with people inside and all just ended up going to the great northern and had a blast but this place ain’t it.

A San Francisco standby. If youre visiting and want a taste of SF culture, this is a must visit. Make sure you go to a 21+ event though, otherwise you *will* be around a bunch of highschoolers going out to party for their first time.

Visited Hubba Hubba upstairs in DNA for a burlesque show where my friends performed. If you want to sit down make sure you arrive early as there is limited seating, it fills up fast. We managed to get on the guest list but still had to pay $5 each for seats.Also, make sure you dont sit in someone elses reserved chair. Otherwise the staff will ask you for proof of seat upgrade and argue with you.Which was really RUDE. Im NEVER coming back here again, what a TURN off...In total, we spent $23.80 and are better off donating that to homeless of SF.

I woke up with a hangover. Thank you DNA Lounge.Well organised party, not insanely crowded, would have loved it if theyd served me some tap water as well instead of encouraging me to slowly dessicate. Cant have everything. Loved the different areas as well, theres lots to explore.

This place is so fun! There are not a lot of EDM clubs that will play dubstep and more aggressive music but this one does! For that reason I’ll come to it from across the bay

Love their food & the atmosphere as long as they arent having a show. I wish it were still open 24 hours. I miss eating breakfast there. They have vegan cheese!

We don’t have a lot of options in SF and DNA Lounge is one of the few picks you have if you want to dance. Wished they had better drinks and better music.

No wonder this place is going bankrupt. They dont let you keep your empty cups after 2am and instead make you buy water.Make the DJ listen to what he produced the day after and you might get a feedback loop going.The reason this place is dying is not gentrification, this is just poor entrepreneurship.

Killer bar staff. This venue goes out of its way to keep bringing a wide array of events from art to live music to parties that have spawned world wide phenomenas. Lack of seating is a negative for an old fogey such as myself. But you cant beat the drinks and crazy shows.

The best club in San Francisco. The music and multiple dance floors will have you dancing until the sunrise. Each room hosts a different genre of music. Go now!

Music awesome BUTstaff was totally unprofessionalhad a good time until at the end of the night, a staff crushed a drink right in my hand because it was 1:59... drink poured all over me and my friend. i think he was on coke.i wont go back again

This place is an AH-mazing wonderland! Monday nights are my fav. Death Guild warms my cold little heart with the best in the EBM/goth/industrial scene

Home of the world famous Hubba Hubba Revue! Must do if youre in SF - a fantastic burlesque show every single Monday and the second Friday of every month. 🥰DNA lounge also host a range of bands and club nights and theres a pizza place attached. Whats not to love?!
