Jonathan EatherlyDecember 31, 2014It all depends on the crowed that night. I've had both the best and worst nights here. If you're a regular signup for the newsletter to get free guest list access.
Derek PJuly 9, 2016This place gets a bad rap mostly because of the crowd that comes here. That can be hit or miss but the talent that plays here is amazing. The sound system and light show is unmatched in SF.
Danielle FOctober 26, 2014Great dance club where you can see popular DJs in the EDM scene. Buy tickets ahead if time and show up by 10 to avoid waiting in line. Beware, Thursdays are 18+. Oof!
Kavit DDecember 28, 2014This club is known for Electronic music. So if you enjoy electronic music, chances are that you will like this club. Club is pretty huge and it has a tight sound system.
Ben GuildDecember 16, 2012Bring ear plugs. This is the loudest place I've ever been and it gets louder throughout the night. I think one time is enough to damage your hearing, and I've been to a lot of clubs.
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2011This is THE venue to dance to legendary DJs in a huge and classy atmosphere. Make sure you visit 4fourteen (the remodeled smoking room) for some down time.
Ashley SchmidtMay 29, 2011Night club is beautiful and sound quality is amazing. Saw Fatboy Slim, and it was the perfect venue in SF. Parking across for 20 bucks all night is a good deal in the area.
Party EarthJuly 27, 2012Parking in Union Square is a pain but several sites let you make parking reservations online. Park Whiz and Gotta Park are just two examples. No guarantee on a busy night but it's worth a try. Read more
Ben RadackedAugust 25, 2012With some of the best artists in the world playing here, Ruby Skye has been transformed into one of the best clubs in the country! Not only is the music good but the location couldn't be any better!
Dipankar SinhaSeptember 29, 2013Party starts after 11 pm and goes till 3-4 am. Entry fees is 35$ and pint of corona will costs 6. Nice place with good music.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010This is definitely the best nightclub I've ever been to. The huge speakers will blow your mind away. They have two levels with an extra smoking room and a pool table. They also have the hottest people
Arpita ShrivastavaMarch 12, 2015I usually avoid this place because it gets too crowded and smells like feet!But I just saw Jordan Suckley and Will Atkinson here and had a great time-great sound system and it was pretty empty until 1
K. SageJuly 25, 2014There is a secret room tucked away on the 2nd floor - it feels private and the couches are super comfortable!
Katie YamadaOctober 10, 2015Third Party was fantastic, found a cool hip hop room upstairs and there's a 2nd floor that's never too crowded
Daniel ShawMarch 21, 2015This club has such great energy. Coming from the east coast, I have to say I was very impressed.
Dancing AstronautSeptember 26, 2012Currently, no other SF venue books more top dance music DJs than Ruby Skye. On their 18+ TORQ Thursdays, make sure you keep all drinks & water upstairs -- the bouncers take their job very seriously.- Dancing AstronautNovember 14, 2011Start your night at the upstairs bar if you want to get some banter in. Once you get downstairs to see the show you won't be able to hold a conversation.
Gilt CityJune 2, 2011A winning bid at 6/23's Bachelor Auction entitles you to a man, yes. But also a date package (such as a limo ride to Sonoma, wine tastings, gourmet dinners...) Don't miss the after-party at Slide.
Always the best DJ's. Lot of tourists. Big names every weekend and has the best white party in San francisco.
Helix SF Party upstairs on the 4th Friday is always outstanding. Deep soulful techno, progressive, and house.
DJ TimesMay 22, 2012Catch 2012 America's Best DJ nominee Bad Boy Bill here on 6/2/12! Vote in person to enter to win a trip for 2 to VEGAS. Like/follow ABDJ on Facebook/Twitter to enter to win prizes from Pioneer DJ!
Zack StocktonJune 4, 2015I really want to like this place, but meh. The venue is beautiful, but the vibe is wack. I've managed to have a good time in a few occasions, but I usually suggest somewhere different
Michael KamleitnerOctober 22, 2012for me the best club in sfo. great, international lineup mostly, awesome crowd.
Alberto MendozaDecember 19, 2011ALWAYS go to the upstairs bar and ask for Fintley. He will makes sure you have a great and safe time. Tell him that Alberto sent ya.
Kenneth FaxJune 11, 2016
Charly Du MoisJune 14, 2011The VIP area is great... not to crowded and excellent service! The bad part is that it closes at 1:30 am!
Kate CashJanuary 16, 2012The establishment is not for the faint of "ears"...as in LOUDNESS. While the speakers ROCK and ROLL, so will your ears upon leaving the building.
Get your pre buzz on beforehand. Drinks are $. But the club and their dj's never fail. Great place. I'm a regular
Carina AndersenSeptember 7, 2013Some awesome djs from time to time, but the most obnoxious bouncers I have EVER encountered.
Fresh was the best glbt party in SF. It will be missed. Kudos to Janine and Mike. Final Fresh party - Feb 2012!
GorgeousNatalie💋✔July 24, 2011Don't believe the hype! Come out and see for yourself. Expensive drinks, 2 level with a hip hop room on second level. Clean, nice and most good looking people.
Rose TylerJanuary 4, 2011My sister rented a booth for her birthday here in July. The staff were friendly and the music was great.
This is the best nightclub in San Fran! Love the faux rococo decor and omg the VR simulators!!!
Sophia AguayoJanuary 17, 2013I love this place, you love techno, you love big concert halls this is a great place to dance
Best place to listen trance music. Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, and David Guetta show up very often in that place. Get on the guest list so you don't have to pay entrance fee. Read more
Always check for free or discounted Torq Thursday guest list and sign up using the name Alice Lee:
John PryorOctober 31, 2011Decent Club if u are looking for a night out. Good location near Union Square.

flyering GiveThanks outside Ruby Skye after Figure -Adam Pilkington
HD LeeNovember 1, 2011Oh yes. This is the most popular club in the SF bay. You may bump into Mark Zukerburg and Sean Parker. No guarantee though.

"Absolutely awesome burner event. Runs from ~4a-9p NYDay, and for me, is way more fun than midnight-scrambling endeavors. Next year i plan to go to bed by 1230 and make this my main NY celebration 😊"
