Bad experience at this spot. For one, its not diversity and place just STINKS! The music is alright, THE STAFF, THE SECURITYS BIG TIME MORONS One of the securities, which I will describe, BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN, he is about 5'0 JUST Picture the MUNCHKINS from THE WIZARD OF OZ, that is how he looked. Well he tried to lean his body against mine and that was the end of the show. I put him on a spot, the police and the manager were told about this OZ MUNCHKIN. Please AVOID coming here, if you can go somewhere you will have fun and deserve to enjoy your night out CUZ This place 4show U wont be missing anything. ELEMENT LOUNGE stinks! Peace!

Securitys think their all that, but their just sum short as migets, very rude and disrespectful. I don't recommend. Theirs lots of asians. Crowd don't arrive until 12am or so. The music is not all that great. Theres a security standing outside of restrooms telling you when to go in and if you take longer than two minutes in there they'll start banging the door telling you to open up. Very uncomfortable

Cons: hard to find parking arrive early if you can

Great place to hang out and dance. But the SECURITY guards are very very rude and mean....If they see that you are drunk and cant walk they will kick you out of the club.. I guess they dont tolerate it. I ask myself then what is the point of having a BAR at a club/lounge??? Most of the security guards there were short african american and short asian. i would not go or even reccomend this place to anyone that I know..... its a good thing that we didnt pay for the entrace due to we were on the guestlist... Worse worse experience with the GUards there at the front door and the ones guarding the bathrooms...

(hint get there when its dead around 10 and get in free.. happen to me) ... drinks are pretty strong ..... trendy crowd..... girl guy ratio was pretty even (the night i was there) DJ plays Hip Hop/ pop... over all it was OK nothing to really brag about..except for nice setting

Pros: cost.. drinks prices.. the fans it gets hot

Good on College Thursdays. First Thursday of each month, dollar beers. Everyone is usually blacked out when they there are there. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad.

San Francisco. I have lived here for about 6 years and seen a number of bars come and go...become popular spots and then degrade over time. Element is definitely breaking the mold. I was just at the 2-year anniversary party last wedensday and it had the same energy, diversity, and creativity that I have seen at Element from the beginning. Awesome DJs (my most recent favorite is this guy named Zaldee sp?), breakdancers, beatboxers, more... Anyways I wanted to give kudos to this spot for retaining it's vibe and continuing to make the lounge better. Like air conditioning and an security attendant at the bathroom. It's not perfect...but every time I go, I have a great time, meet good people, and dance my tail off. Thanks Element and happy 2!

ive been here a couple of times and its always a disappointment. the venue is much too small for all the people they pack in and the line for the bathroom is ridiculous, it stretches along the lenght of the dancefloor. its tragic to watch people waiting in line to go to the bathroom when youre trying to get your groove on. and the staff is rude, rude, rude. the last time i was there we reserved tables 4 days in advance and when we arrived they told us that they had given them away and the only option was the vip room. we were told that we would be given a deal for the room but when the tab came they charged us regular price. and the crowd is not diverse. the only saving grace is the music.

Pros: hip hop music

Cons: everything else

My girlfriends and I always end up here. The music is great, crowd is fun. They stay open late and have breakdancers at like 2 or 3. It is crowed and HOT though.

We signed up for the guestlist online, which let us in before 11 for free. The music is great and there's actually some seating for people who aren't using the elite services. I suggest standing close to the fans, because it can be pretty hot in the middle of the dance floor. The lighting in the bathroom is as dark as the lounge, though. I really liked the saxaphone player who occasionally blasted out his tunes with the music. Overall, I highly recommend it.

Pros: Music, great people, polite staff

Cons: crowded, tiny, can't tell if bathroom is clean to use
