I have been here 3 times and had a great time every time! The music is great! They usually have a different DJ on each dance floor, so if aren't enjoying one type of music, heard to the other dance floor! The people there are typically attractive people. The go-go dancers here are always an eye pleaser. Cover can be $15-$20 bucks, but sign up for their newsletter at their website and/or add them as a friend on MySpace and you'll get opportunities to sign up for their guest list for free or discounted cover. Oh, and yes it is in a strip mall. But it doesn't seem like it inside; it is very spacious. And the upside is that parking is easy, and free!

Pros: Great Music. Friendly Staff. Attractive People. Free Parking

Cons: Can be high cover

This place is a bridge and tunnel caricature. It is amazing how much clubs change once you get 45 minutes outside of San Francisco. This is the same type of cookie cutter club you might find in Oklahoma. First of all, no joke, this place is in a strip mall - with an Applebees, furniture store etc. next door. All the guys have crew cuts and wear the same striped shirts right from the Macys sales bin. They look like they are either on leave from the army or have the day off from the cell phone store where they work. You can probably see their “pimped out rides” in the parking lot. The women are mainly lower-class suburban trash hiding their stomachs in tube tops and dripping in cheap makeup and hoop earrings. You will probably also see some bachelorette party girls and faux OC types venturing out of their parent's McMansion (soon to be foreclosed). The music is boring mash-up/hiphop just like they must play in Arkansas. Sometimes they bring in Vegas DJs – further proof that this place could only impress bridge and tunnel poseurs. I think the doormen are in acting school because they pretend to be selective with the people they let in. Absolute comedy. It is no surprise that this is a sister club to Ruby Skye, SF’s finest bridge and tunnel club for those souls brave enough to actually venture into the city at night. For an urban clubber looking for a good laugh, this is it.

Pros: a bridge and tunnel caricature - good for a laugh

Cons: a suburban joke
