Hours: Daily 4pm-2am
Having club nights with names like "Nipple Play" (nipple fetish night), "Underwear" (panty fetish night), and "Wrasslin'" (wrestling fetish night where grown men sport high school wrestling outfits and try pinning each other to a mat), it's safe to say that this isn't the place you want to take Mom and Dad when they come to town. It is, however, the place to go if you're looking for a daddy and a dirty time. DJs spin a mix of house and techno every night, and the back room/dance floor, rife with leering men lurking in the shadows, is appropriately dark.

  • Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
