First, the pros: cool decor and less sketchy people than some of the other bars on sixth street. The cons: REALLY overpriced. Cover charge was $10 and even a simple test tube shot was $3, as compared to most other bars selling them for $1 or $2. Other drinks were expensive as well. After we got in, no one at all was dancing. Tried to go up to the third floor which looked cool from downstairs but apparently it was closed off as the 'VIP Room". Met a couple of guys who said they had to pay about ~$200 to get upstairs! Plenty of booths to sit in but they all said 'reserved'. We sat anyway 'cause we were tired but that's really the only value we got out of our $10. Visit it once to say you've been but in general, not worth it.

Great neighborhood bar where in the fall I can walk in, grab a beer and stumble into a Big Ten Football fan who knows a Hoosier from a Hawkeye.

I think it's over. Such an SF institution (20 years old), but I think, at long last, DNA is done. The crowd comes off as a we-didn't-know-where-else-to-go group, and the bookings are just tired. The only reason to go is for the band you missed seeing in 1994.
