Editorial Review for Vertigo – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Dim red lighting, lazy overhead fans and tribal masks decorate the front of this neighborhood hideaway, dominated by a carved, altar-like wooden bar. The lush South Seas theme continues in a cool smoking patio, which has a fountain, foliage and red vinyl bar stools. An extensive drink menu features exotic concoctions, many which are big enough to share, like the Volcano for four. DJs get the crowd fired up with everything from Johnny Cash to electronica.

As a local who loves Vertigo, I know exactly who the dude is who goes by the screen name "Tribaldelic" is. This is the sort of local color that you run past quickly in order to enter a club on Polk Street. God bless the owners of Vertigo, for taking what was a run down, tired bar, and turning it into a cool, hip dance bar. I love this bar, and it's owners and always enjoy the atmosphere they provide. I only wish that people like Tribeldelic would learn that begging for change to buy his "groove on" on Polk Street is no longer cool. Get a lesson from Brittney...it's not working for both of you.

Pros: dancing, smoking room

Cons: low lifes like Tribaldeilic

Owner, also Owner of LUSH down the street needs to take a course in Public Relations - I'd patron both bars more often with recommendations if the owner sold out to someone more professional. Owner is not freindly with Gayz Clientele - probably because he dosnt want his BF thinking he's foolin around - so he's mean and nasty to the Gayz at large - the dinosaur would be better off up in the Castro! STAY home Mr owner, stay out of sight so we can all get back to windin down with our freinds and freindly bartenders.
