Play It Cool
This new happy hour, occurring every Friday, heralds the return of short-lived-but-very-fun party
Play It Cool, which focuses on warm, sunny Balearic disco and house vibes. Even more importantly, it heralds the return of 222 Hyde, now called
The Basement, one of San Francisco's most beloved venues — lovingly known as "the rave cave," 222 Hyde was a miniscule venue (it felt packed to the gills with 120 people) with a powerful sound system; the dancefloor is underground, at the base of a small staircase, with a low ceiling. It was truly one of the best places to experience dance music in San Francisco, and it's on its way back. Play It Cool will be setting up shop every Friday evening, with happy hour drink specials 6-8 p.m. Plus, it'll be playing groovy, gently danceable tunes, making for the perfect way to unwind from your workweek.
