This is the number one night bar club in San Francisco. The GM and staff do a great job taking care…read moreof their customers. Also much kudos to the bartenders - they are highly attentive to their customers. The DJs here play the best slappers and know how to read the crowd. Another plus is the variety of food selections close by such as pizza and tacos etc.. if you are visiting SF this is probably your go to spot if looking for a night out for music drinks and dancing.

WATCH OUT BOUNCERS ON ONE…read more waited an hour and a half and this bouncer (indian looking with facial hair 12:36 am) did nothing but tell us aggressively to get to the back of the line?? we waited this whole time and he decided to just be so rude and tell us "oh it's not our job to check on you to be in the right line, sorry you need to get the back, everybody else is also waiting". UM HELLO it's about to be 1am that's so messed up because we love this place and he decided to be the worst person ever for somebody enjoying their friday night and having to wait so long to just be told that was SO unreasonable. First of all, you could've understood the situation we were put in because we were not checked up on at all?! He was trying to make it a scene telling my group about all 3 lines. When I say scene I mean him being so aggressive and making it seem like I was trying to fight when I was just trying to talk about the situation we were in. everybody behind me DID NOT KNOW the line was also not the right line, so they all sneaked over to the other line and it was understandable, but like they just let them in?? You guys could've organized the line a lot better too?? I never had such a bad interaction with a bouncer before but you guys need to get that man checked. He was so disrespectful and rude. He started saying randomly things like "you can record and put me on tiktok or whatever i don't care"?? I don't know what the heck he's on, but obviously not his first rodeo having this type of interaction with the people in line. Obviously he isn't capable of handling a club correctly.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE…read more My friends and I came here to celebrate my boyfriend's little sister's 25th birthday around 12:40 a.m. on 8/1/26, and the night was ruined within minutes. Our first stop was the upstairs restroom by the stairs. The bar was busy, but the first floor wasn't overcrowded. To give some context, the restroom is located right next to the staircase. I was waiting in line, and my boyfriend's little sister was standing only a few feet away from me. The stairs were not blocked. A man suddenly walked up to her and immediately screamed in her face, "You need to move. You can't block the stairs." She stepped over. Instead of leaving it at that, he got even closer to her face and yelled, "YOU NEED TO MOVE UP OR DOWN." Like most people would, she defended herself after having a stranger scream inches from her face. She responded, "Okay then go. I'm not blocking you." He continued hovering over her, repeatedly shouting, "UP OR DOWN." She replied, "Stop telling me to move. You move!" That's when he yelled, "THIS IS MY PLACE. GTFO," grabbed her aggressively by the arm, and forcibly dragged her out. This all happened within about 10 minutes of us arriving. The man was wearing a fitted hat with a black tee. Had a tatted colored sleeve with some green. I'm not sure if he was the owner or the manager, but I've never seen someone with such a short temper treat a customer this way. If there had been a misunderstanding, all he had to do was calmly identify himself as staff and explain what he needed. Instead, he escalated the situation from the very beginning by screaming in her face and then physically removing her after she responded to being yelled at. No man should put his hands on a woman with that kind of force, especially when she was not being physically aggressive or threatening anyone. She never touched him. She only defended herself verbally after being screamed at. As a result, she was left with visible marks on her arm. This was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. No customer should be treated this way. We came to celebrate a birthday, and instead watched someone abuse their authority and turn a simple misunderstanding into a physical confrontation. I hope management takes this seriously because no one should have to worry about being manhandled over something that could have been resolved with a calm conversation.

I was amazed at the decor, people or all ages, live band that was making noise in the room to the dance floor at 11pm when all the cats come out to play! lol Spent my birthday night here yesterday and had so much fun. It was pretty lit. Got to spend with my friend "Will", shout out lmao and friends and sister too

I went to Moongate Lounge while I was waiting on a dinner reservation elsewhere with a couple…read morefriends and had an amazing time. When we arrived, we were put in the standing room and were able to order drinks right at the bar. All of the drinks were so delicious (although a bit expensive), and the vibes were immaculate. We were also able to snag a standing table which was nice. They also have couches and seated areas, but those are all reserved so if you're going with a larger group or like to sit down, I'd definitely recommend reserving ahead.

I visited Moongate Lounge on Saturday, June 20, around 11:00 PM and unfortunately had a very…read moreuncomfortable experience. When I first walked to the bar, one of the bartenders came over and asked what I wanted to order. I politely asked if they had the ingredients to make an Aperol Spritz since I noticed several spritz options on the menu. Instead of simply saying no, she rolled her eyes, grabbed a menu, handed it to me roughly, and said, "Order something that's actually on our menu." She then immediately walked away to help other customers and never returned to acknowledge me again. I was genuinely confused by the interaction because I didn't feel my question was unreasonable, especially at a cocktail bar with multiple spritzes listed on the menu. I've never had a bartender respond that way to a simple drink inquiry.... Thankfully, another bartender (she was the Asian one) later noticed I hadn't been helped. She was very friendly, attentive, and made my drink without any issues. Had it not been for her, I likely would have left immediately. Unfortunately, the first bartender's behavior made the atmosphere feel awkward and unwelcoming. I finished my one drink and left shortly afterward because I no longer felt comfortable staying. I understand bars get busy, but basic courtesy goes a long way. The contrast between the two bartenders' service was striking. I hope management takes customer service seriously because no guest should feel dismissed or mocked for asking a simple question about a drink.
