I've been twice in the last two months and have had a blast both times. Lots of good music and a decent crowd. Get there before 10:15 on fridays to get in free or be prepared to pay the $20 cover!

• Pros: Excellent DJs, Variety of rooms
• Cons: Expensive, Somewhat crowded

Definitely Avoid on any night of the week. Worst Customer Service I've ever seen in my entire life

by DrAkAx

Ok so this club is seriously one of the worst I have been in my life, and trust me I've been to many different clubs before as I've lived pretty much all over the world. But in all my years of clubbing and traveling I have never seen such horrible customer service be it from the bouncers or the bartenders ... Oh and by the way, don't ever take a cab in SF, they are the biggest jerks I've ever encountered as well. I've never had such a rude cab driver. The guy was hella discriminating ( I'm half french half german and my friend is from Africa-Togo) and the whole ride he was complaining and being a big douche. At the end of the cab ride, he goes: You're welcome A-Hole foreigners". If my 3 girlfriends had not holded me back, I woulda ripped that cab driver a new A-Hole but right on his face. Anyway, so I go to 1015 Folsom and order 3 drinks for us. The bartender (some ugly asian yakuza) was a total douche with no customer service at all. I ask him how much I owe him for the drinks and he goes: " I already f.... told you, it's ...." To which I respond: " Wow come down there, what's up with the customer service in this city, you're the second douche I encounter tonight...". He goes like "yea w/e just give me my f.... money ". I threw the money in his face and got the hell out of that club. This was the second time I went there, and the second time it was empty as hell ( now I understand why) and no customer service. Drinks are expensive and they barely put any alcohol. Basically a big rip off and a tourist catcher. DO NOT GO THERE ON ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. SAVE YOUR MONEY OR GO TO LIQUID !

• Pros: Absolutely none
• Cons: Everything about the club is a con

Avoid if you don't want to be stabbed

by jnaous

Me and a couple of my friends went there on a Saturday night to watch DJ Paul Van Dyk play. Anyway, we got bottle service and a table, we went to the main area for a bit and came back. A bunch of guys had taken over our table, and when we tried to go and sit there, they threatened us and pushed us out. When we called security, they did nothing about it. The guys who threatened us were still there, and we decided to leave. Point is, if you want to get your money's worth, do NOT go there. Gangs and other questionable characters hang out there, and security does nothing about it.

• Pros: Good Music, Choices
• Cons: Bad security, bad clientele, not friendly

A shadow of its former self

by gaijinsan

many, many years ago 1015 was known as "martinis" and was considered THE place to be. it had an underground but hip vibe to it. i can even remember the lines to get in would wrap around the block....and that was b4 the doors even opened (they also had a "velvet rope" policy). fast forward a couple decades and although we now have a much renuvated venue and better sound systems...the majority of the clientele are...questionable. to prove a point, i believe it's the only BIG s.f. (mostly) dance venue that pats you down and uses a metal detector. more has been improved to keep out the undesirables like better lighting (it was WAY too dark in some parts of the different rooms) and even more renovations but they really need to keep radio hip hop outa there and change up the constant trance in the main room (all that trendy hyphy stuff keeps bringing in the unclassy wannabes and the trancey junk always brings in the tweakers).

• Pros: multiple rooms, lots of room to dance
• Cons: too much trance, TOO much hyphy/crunk hip hop, trendy people but in a bad way

This is only a good club IF you are ASIAN

by mmcleod639

This club should be renamed 1015 ASIAN as everyone in the club but the two in my party were all Asian. In a city as large and diverse as San Francisco why would anyone want to go and dance here unless you were specifically looking for an Asian date! The DJ was decent downstairs but I would not recommend this club to anyone until it is under new management.

• Pros: Being Asian
• Cons: Not being Asian

Fun

by ladytrancealot

I went with my man on a Saturday night/morning. Line was pretty long, going around the block. I think the cover was a bit much ($20), but there are a couple of dancefloors inside, & they were playing some good trance that night. Parking wasn't that great, although one guy from the street helped us get a spot. Wasn't feeling the dancefloor upstairs, & didn't check out the one below. Main dancefloor was okay, but I really liked the trance dancefloor. Overall, I had a good time, will definitely go back, but will try to get on a list in order to avoid that pricey cover!!

• Pros: Several dancefloors
• Cons: Bad parking, Cover charge

WOW!! what a transformation

by lizzya

1015 slipped of for a while, but me and my girlfreinds went there this past weekend, and wow, security was realy freindly, sexy people. the remodeling they did is amazing, I almost couldnt recognize it anymore. definitly go to the website 1015.com . you can get in for free on most saturdays by signing up. they even have bottle service.

• Pros: sexy people, stiff drinks, its like 4 clubs in 1
• Cons: can be crowded, line to get in

Massive urban dance venue boasts multiple floors and atmospheres in one crowded club.

by Joanna Currier

In Short
Four dance floors fill this three-story, state-of-the-art South of Market mecca, where crowds usually hit capacity on Friday and Saturday nights. High-ranking international and local DJs switch up the energy from room to room--a swank upstairs floor and VIP terrace; main dance floor with four huge projection screens and liquid, LED-lit "waterfall wall;" sexy dance lounge with a low, cut-out ceiling illuminated by special effects; and large basement dance floor encircled with high-backed red vinyl booths.

• Pros: Great lineup
• Cons: Cavity searchNewbie crowd

good club bad experience

by bmontoya2

After going to 1015 again it is always a great experience. Except last night when I stepped outside to have a smoke after making it was ok to do by inside security. After I was done outside security wouldn't let me back in. It was freezing outside and my jacket was checked which they wouldn't help me get. But the girl I was with, they let right back in. Messed up.

Not what it used to be...i miss the great shows!

by promesf

i have some fond memories of this once awesome club! for some 1015 can still to be a great venue, i.e. fantastic sound systm, dance flrs, lighting, etc. however, my last visit after a long time to see Dave Ralph - the nite turned out to be lame...there was no energy! hardly any crowd at 1am. to see a good dj spinning for a small crowd, the place just lost the vibe.

hopefully, 1015 mgmnt realizes the potential the club still has to capture its "glory" years, and transform it back into the kick-a** venue like it was!? we know the biggest draw to any club are big promoters bringing in big names - so lets get 'em back!!! show the city what a cool place 1015 is for a Sat nite to party!

• Pros: sound system, the lighting, dance floors
• Cons: full body search, glowsticks
