Let It Rain, Because There’s Shine

What Shine nightclub thoughtfully lacks in seating, it makes up for it in getting clubbers moving.  In San Francisco, there’s no hotter up-and-coming locale to put on a great dance Picture 7party than SOMA, the “South of Market” district.  Once home to the sea before the great earthquake filled in the landscape, this part of town is now home to a bit of the old, a lot of the modern, and many open spaces to get the diversity of the area mingling. And that’s what Shine nightclub is all about, being in the perfect on-everyone’s-commute-home location and making sure everyone gets friendly once they’re here.  With no VIP sections or $400 bottle service, Shine has figured out how to personalize the party within the party for everyone who enters – call ahead and they’ll stock your own booth with a customized mini-fridge.  For $200, Shine provides you and your crew a choice of liquor and mixers, so you can have it your way and any way you like, while dancing the night away.

In for a Swanky Night at Bimbo’s 365 Club

Picture 36With nightclubs, jazz venues, bars, and its own Vegas-style light show, North Beach is where San Franciscans have always gone to party.  And in the heart of this “Little Italy” lies Bimbo’s 365 Club, as much a favorite today as it was when Rita Hayworth was a high-kicking chorus line girl. Everyone who is anyone has since walked through these doors, including Chris Isaak, Robin Williams and Jill Scott. When you walk into Bimbo’s, expect an evening of classic lounge acts, supper club entertainment and a dramatic art deco theme that is entirely reminiscent of the swankiest big band era nightspots. One of Bimbo’s famously plush events is its corporate and private parties for swanky Silicon Valley guests like Cellular One, Oracle, and Yahoo!.  The venue offers tiered seating, dramatic lighting, fine dine table settings and a dance floor next to the concert stage. Whether you’ve been a regular for years or it’s your first time here, Bimbo’s is the classic nightspot for the upscale traveler.

San Francisco From the Stars at The Starlight Room

You don’t need a time machine to party in 1930’s glam style, just take the elevator to the top floor at the Starlight Room.  Priding himself with more style and attention to detail as other nightclub owners, socialite Harry Denton has done the classic penthouse lounge justice. With a glittery panorama of downtown, including Union Square’s designer shops and the Bay BridgPicture 4e, the Starlight Room is a place to relax and enjoy the view.  While the bar offers many ‘Million Dollar Cocktails’ such as the $200 Angels Share snifter of cognac, and 20 yr. old Tawny Port with walnut liqueur and Chartreuse, they also offer a drink called ‘The Recession’"– PBR in a brown paper bag for $4.

The Cafe That’s Not For The Day

Picture 8The Cafe has been The Castro’s favorite venue for years, welcoming everyone gay and straight to enjoy a one-of-a-kind dancing and drinking experience.  Having recently undergone a multi-million dollar transformation, The Cafe's makeover is like treating its faithful patrons to a thinner and more successful boyfriend. Let the thump of The Café’s state of the art sound system lead you upstairs to any of the three bars for a two-for-one happy hour.   Try not to spend the evening staring blindly at any of the 12 HD flat screens, because there’s a much better view on the dance floor.  The Café also features an open-air atrium (complete with retractable glass awning should the weather get touchy) in the middle of the bar to help cool off after that Michael Jackson dance routine. It's been a long-standing tradition in the Castro to meet any night of theweek for The Cafe's legendary happy hour.  You'll see many familiar faces so don't be afraid to go alone.  If all this isn't enough, the bartenders are appealing too.
