A red door (and no sign) marks the entrance of this slightly hidden (but no secret) spot. The large, industrial space is offset by two rooms: one for dancing, with a giant dragonfly hanging from the ceiling; the other more casual, with sofas and ottomans. Both feature bars, DJ stations, hardwood floors and are rife with paintings, photographs and art installations. The concrete walls give off a city-warehouse feel, while the crowd is the definition of urban-intellectual cool. – –

by XanaduJulie at Citysearch

111 Minna hosts the very first CLUB 1992 this Saturday!

As 111 Minna is one of Sf's HOT night life spots I am very proud to be introducing it's new great dance night happening THIS Saturday July 11th!

CLUB 1992

I know what you're thinking, Finally! A NEW DANCE PARTY in SF! The 90’s are in! Come back when JTT ruled pop culture, Zach & Kelly couldn't stay broken up & slap-bracelets were at the pinnacle of fashion. Get down with two rooms playing strictly 90's. Bust out your Cabbage Patch in the Hip-Hop and R&B room and sing along to your pop dance favs in the TRL Room! All 90’s, All Dance, All Fun!

Featuring: Jeffrey Paradise, Richie Panic, Vin Sol, Phillie Ocean, AlexanderSpit, a Fashion Show by The Good Shop, L.OW. SF, Parker Day, Ava Berlin & Hot Tub

This is an awesome venue! And no, the bartenders are NOT rude!

by pipsorcle at Citysearch

Normally I go to 111 Minna on their Wednesday night Happy Hour from 5:30 pm - 10 pm and I have to say, the crowd here is generally pretty chill compared to most other bars/clubs in SF. For those who say 111 Minna is too superficial, you haven't been to the Bubble Lounge, the North Beach bar scene or even the Marina. Clubs around there are FILLED with yuppies and superficial people. 111 Minna, on the other hand, has a combination of everything, from the enterpreneurs to art students at Academy of Art and the like art schools to the indie crowd to people who work in the financial district to oddball types to people who like to dance in general.

I was reading reviews on this site and I must say, that on the Qool Happy Hour on Wednesdays, there is NO dress code whatsoever. You can even wear sneakers and no one will mind. Plus, a $5.00 cover charge is pretty sweet.

For the reviewer before me who said the bartenders are rude, let me put it this way... They are among some of the coolest bartenders I've met. One time I was waiting for more than 15 minutes for a drink and one of the bartenders apologized for having me wait so long to order something, that he asked me to pay just $4.00 instead of the $8.00 I would have paid for the ticket (probably was a Long Island or Scotch).

One of the specialities of 111 Minna is that on its Wednesday happy hour, some of the best electronica music is played. From DJ Spesh to Jerry Bonham (on occasion) to DJ Hoj, the progressive house music that's spun here is AWESOME.

Plus, going to Qool Happy Hour on Wednesdays, there's usually a pretty decent crowd of women so the chances meeting a single woman at 111 Minna are greater than the Bubble Lounge or the Marina bars.

One last comment... The Qool Group that puts on the music at 111 Minna, they were there at the September '06 Love Parade. Therefore, if you liked the Love Parade, you'll love the crowd at 111 Minna.

  • Pros: Great social scene, easy to walk to if taking BART
  • Cons: Any superficial person who enters 111 Minna

cool place with one exception

by critic12 at Citysearch

as a club/bar, this place is pretty cool. It is spacious, has plenty of seating if you go at a reasonable time, cool modern-artsy vibe, trendy & goodlooking people, and potent drinks. The only drawback is that the bartenders are not very friendly and take forever to serve you...this is coming from a 20 something girl.

  • Pros: spacious, cool people, good music
  • Cons: bartenders and staff are not friendly, attentive
