Fun Place for Friends

by MarcoPolo99

First off I must say that this place can be somewhat pretentious, but I’m a person who doesn’t let that stop me from having a good time.

This is definitely a place for the younger 20-something crowd. They have a really great variety of beers, champagne and top shelf liquors.

While out one night here with a couple friends we noticed this curious glowing green bottle making its way to a table and immediately asked what it was. The waitress let us know it was something called Tyku (sp?) We ordered the bottle and were amazed at how good it tasted, not to mention that it got a couple heads to turn!

If it was for the helpful staff here we probably would have never discovered it and has now become our regular party drink…

It can get a little crowded, especially on weekends so if you want room to breathe try going on a week day for post work cocktails

An all around good place to hang with friends and enjoy the scene

AMAZING

by FireAndFlames

I went here on my 21st. The bar tenders and everyone in the bar were all super friendly even before they knew it was my bday. Drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is great. There is either a DJ or live music. Plenty of cute tables for chatting away from the bar itself. The bar tenders also put on an amazing show if it is your 21st. And they are pretty cool when you end up getting sick. ;) Overall, not the usual scene in the area. Highly recommend it!

Tan Corian???

by loungecat

I'm wondering if this reviewer was actually at this place. Just shows how "not" with it Citysearch is. Everything here is BLUE (not tan, as the reviewer specified). Great place altogether. It's a tasty bit of SF nightlife on the weekdays...too many dumbasses on the weekends.

Jumping place

by 1sinner

I'm always skeptical about the clubs on Broadway, but my friends and I were in the neighborhood and needed a drink. Went to Fuse (saturday night) and had a great time. The bartenders were really cool and the drinks were on the strong side. Awesome cucumber cosmo and something the bartender made but had no name. It was busy but not to slammed to get a drink fairly easy or shake it on the dance floor. Kick- ass deejays. Pretty good amount of good looking women that weren't too stuck-up to talk and dance with us. I'll definitely be going back!

  • Pros: great bartenders, strong drinks, cheap cover
  • Cons: hard to park

I love this bar!

by sharitapita

The atmosphere here is always super friendly, no matter the crowd. There's always someone to dance with. The bartenders are awesome! The normal doorman isn't too friendly, but went there last weekend and there was a new guy who was great! The drinks are always good, and the cover is cheap ($5). The music is always dance-able. Overall, my favorite place on Broadway.

  • Pros: Great Bartenders, Good Music, Friendly Crowd

Great Bar for Hanging Out

by salamut1

I went to Fuse last Sunday night and again this Saturday night with my husband and we had a blast both times. The bartender on Sunday (and again on Saturday), Christian, was cool and made some of the best drinks I have ever had. The cucumber martini that the bartender recommended I try was excellent, and my husband had a caipirinha which was one of the best I've ever tasted in the US (by hubby is from Brazil, and he said the same). I highly recommend this bar: a very cool, mellow vibe on Sunday and very jumping on Saturday; excellent drinks; friendly staff; great music. A trendy, cool bar without the attitude. Highly recommended!

  • Pros: Friendly Staff, Excellent Drinks, Great Music

Wow, great drinks!!

by sacto76

The wife and I were in SF this weekend. Bar hopped Saturday and Sunday. Stopped by Fuse on Sunday night. Not very busy, but we didn't care as the drinks were some of the best specialty martinis we've had. Didn't get the bartender's name, but he was very cool, and really knew how to mix a good martini. One with Mango was excellent. He made a great chocolate martini. His Metropolitan was incredible (great rasberry flavor). And there was a cucumber infused vodka martini on the menu which was out of this world. Never would have thought I'd like a drink with cucumber. Just don't try and eat the cucumber as it is soaked with alcohol (my wife found out the hardway). The decor and music were good, but not great. It's the drinks that make this place worth checking out.

  • Pros: great drinks, cool bartender, great drinks!!
  • Cons: seedy neighborhood

Don't Waste Your Time

by therazor

If a cramped, overpriced atmosphere with a pretentious staff is your cup of tea, then this is the place for you!

After waiting 15 minutes for the bartender to get off his cell phone, I was able to order a beer and a well drink cocktail... only to get stuck with a $14 tab! It became difficult to question the price over the loud and obnoxious 90's ska music, so we slammed our drinks and got out of there never to return.

  • Cons: Rude Staff, Overpriced Drinks, Cramped

A North Beach lounge with DJs and a blue color scheme.

by Contributor

In Short
The velvet-rope treatment is sometimes in effect amid the bright lights of the neighborhood strip. Inside the two-room hangout, a menu of six specialty cocktails, including a mojito, sits atop a V-shape bar made of tan Corian. The other half of the space features cocktail tables that can be cleared to form a dance floor in front of a DJ setup adorned with candles.

Bad

by allysonwww

The crowd is horrible and the music is top 40 garbage. Strickly bridge and tunnel scene with guys in bowling shirts and girls in Forever 21. All this and a $5 cover on a wednesday while the bar is empty?
