Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

I've been to a LOT of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues in SF, but one that my various friend…read moregroups and I regularly hit up is Monroe. What's not to love. Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

The DJ was on point, and all of the food stands were quite delicious! And the place itself? MASSIVE. The ceilings were high, and the architecture was a marvel to look at. There was a separate area I stepped through to get to the bathroom, and that was really nice too. It was a sit-down restaurant setup. But this work party experience? I'll never forget it, and I'd recommend it as a venue for anyone who wants to put a dope party together.

It was really nice to see the sunlight come through on the daytime with the open roof concept. The music was a lovely experience as well. I really enjoyed it. Given how packed it was, I stood the entire time, even though I had gotten there probably 15 minutes before the show started. There was a huge line for the coffee when I arrived that didn't let up until halfway through the show. They are doing this again in September and I would recommend if you are in the area. The only thing that would have made it better would have been less people given the amount of chatter and distraction of people walking by. I'm curious as to what this venue looks like in other set ups and at different times of the day because it is beautiful, what a nice spot in San Francisco.

The shop was just opening, but the server was doing it all helping see us taking the order as well as serving the food and drinks. I got the red wine flight. I really enjoyed all three wines.

The charcuterie board was good as well typical of what you would expect. We did find a hair on our carrot, which is the reason for the four stars. It could happen to anyone. It was a beautiful day to sit outside on the patio and have a wine flight. I would give them another shot if in the area and wanting to have a nice glass of wine.

Kimpton Alton is classified as on a 4-star hotel, but I give them 5 stars for going above and beyond. My partner booked through AMEX, and we checked in on a weekday evening. There was no room upgrade available; however, hotel staff knew that we were in town for a special occasion. Yveey at the front desk was a pleasure to work with, and she made my birthday stay one to remember! I was so delighted by the complimentary treats the team brought up to our room. We arrived just in time for social hour too, which includes complimentary beer/wine/cider from 5-6pm everyday! Kimpton Alton is located steps away from Fisherman's Wharf, and we walked and took streetcars to get around the city. The hotel offers valet service, and we had no issues with overnight parking, but it's on a first-come-first serve basis so weekends are not guaranteed. This hotel offers a comfortable stay with many cool amenities, and I'd highly recommend staying with Kimpton Alton!

The hotel boasts a stunning, modern design that perfectly complements its vibrant location. The rooms are not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, providing a true home away from home. What truly made my stay memorable was the wonderful service I received from the staff, particularly Esmeralda. From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that immediately made me feel welcome. Esmeralda went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, offering personalized recommendations for local attractions and dining. Her genuine kindness and attentiveness made all the difference, transforming a good stay into an exceptional one. The hotel's amenities, such as fitness center, was fantastic, and the location made exploring the area a breeze. I can't recommend the Kimpton Alton Hotel enough, and if you're lucky enough to be assisted by Esmeralda, you're in for an extra treat! Her dedication to providing an outstanding guest experience is truly commendable. I can't wait to return!

It has a great sound system, a mic + amp for speeches and announcements, a large bar space and kitchen, outdoor heaters, a spacious restroom, separate boardroom...more than we could've hoped. The layout, with large indoor and outdoor areas, was great for people who wanted a quieter refuge and for those who wanted to feel like part of the crowd. The space feels large but also intimate, and even with a small setup and cleanup crew, it was entirely manageable. Every one of our guests was impressed with the space and had a blast. I want to give special props to our contact Nathalia, who helped us with the entire process from booking to completion and follow-up. We were able to visit the space several times, and she showed us how all of its features worked. She made us feel welcome...like the space truly was ours for the day and not just a rental space. Planning and executing a wedding is no easy task, but she made the venue arrangement probably the simplest part of it. I'd absolutely recommend the Newhall Nest to anyone looking for a rooftop venue. There's honestly nothing else like it in SF.

After some Googling, I came across NEON and decided to call. Teddy answered and immediately scheduled a time to help me out. Even though I wasn't able to make it on the originally scheduled day, Teddy went above and beyond and came in on a day when the space was already booked for an event and very busy. He helped me get everything done quickly and efficiently. This was also around the holidays, so I'm especially grateful for the extra effort. NEON is a co-working space, but it has such a friendly, down-to-earth vibe. I really appreciate their flexible pricing model. You can pay for a day pass ($25) or by the hour ($5), which makes it affordable without feeling locked into a subscription you have to constantly justify. I'll definitely be coming back to do work here more often, meet people, and enjoy the amenities. There's even an outdoor space, which is a great bonus. Huge shoutout to Teddy and the NEON team for creating such a vibrant, cozy, and inviting space. Everyone is genuine, thoughtful, and happy to help with anything you might need. Highly recommend. Definitely check it out!
