POPPING GOOD TIMES

by OTHmun

I have been living in SF for over 10yrs and I wanted to check out a new club. I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I came early and chopped it up with 2 cool bartenders. As the evening progressed I discovered that the crowd represented what SF is all about diversity, meeting people from different places, and enjoying life. If you are a single straight 20-30 yr. old women looking to meet some straight men while listening to top 40 hip hop music, drinking, and dancing this is a good place (there was a lrger boy to girl ratio). I met a counselor from Hayward, Latino from the Yucatan, Contortionist from the city, club owner(s), entertainment producer from LA, dancer from Kenya, and some people from Oakland.The dance floor is small, but that's what made it so SF. There is plenty of street parking. What could make this place better is if someone took care of the bathrooms.

  • Pros: The crowd, parking, and service
  • Cons: Bathrooms

Great customer service, great music, great place to party

by ellainSF

I have been to Element countless times and everytime has been really fun. This is the place to go if you want to get together with friends and dance! The crowd isn't pretentious and the vibe is somewhat house-party like, which I like because it is easy to meet cool people. My favorite nights are when BlaQuest or Zhaldee are DJing...they are two of the best I have heard in SF. I would recommend arriving before 11 to take advantage of the free admission if you signup on their website.

  • Pros: great dancing spot, great place to have a party
  • Cons: the line can get long

Good times in the City! Great place to mingle!

by sittinnpretty

5 stars for this one anyday! This is one of the best dance clubs/lounges in San Francisco. The crowd is pretty good. There isnt much of a line, which is really good. I hate waiting in line to get into clubs. The music is pretty refreshing and new. In all it is a great place to spend a night out in the city.

  • Pros: good drinks, good prices, nice bartenders

WRONG SPOT TO HANG OUT

by LeezaG

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!

Disrespetful staff

by grisyjs

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

security guards are very very rude

by elisita

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...

Element

by rwhitmore

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.
