This is the number one night bar club in San Francisco. The GM and staff do a great job taking care of 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. read more

One thing about me, I absolutely love to dance! The only thing is, the older I get, the less I find spots where I can dance to great oldies, so when I found out about Battle of the decades every Friday at Monroe, I knew I had to try it out! 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. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would, due to work life and family life . I haven't been out for a couple of years, but by far this is one of the worst clubs I've been to in San Francisco. We waited in line for almost an hour, we immediately walked through the pretty small club, all for the bathroom to be extremely unsanitary. This place clearly does not have staff cleaning the facilities at all throughout the night. The place reeked of stale alcohol and body odor. If that's your vibe by all means party away at this outhouse of a club. Maybe it was a bad night but I swear I've seen cleaner restrooms in the tenderloin's public parks. read more

Monroe - Unsanitary restroom - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been to a LOT of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues in SF, but one that my various friend groups 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. read more

We had an amazing night at Monroe, unfortunately my girlfriend lost her phone and Payam stayed in touch with us all night to help us find it, we called multiple times and he would always reply to make sure our phone is found! An amazing guy and an amazing place, will definitely come back read more

Amazing service. So much seating, great lighting, beautiful venue all around!! The drinks were strong but not so strong that it hurt. They were delicious! The special was an apricot martini among a couple of other drinks, and it was great. I would for sure come here again with some friends or my husband. read more

Monroe - Lounges Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's been a while since I've been to Monroe, and it was just as I remember it and did not disappoint! There was a long line on a Friday night, and my friends and I were able to get in after 15 minutes of waiting around 12:30AM. It was a night crowded as usual, but thankfully not enough to be blocking the bar space. I felt like they were slightly cutting back on the alcohol when I ordered my drinks and it was a bit more on the pricier side. However, the music for the night was great, and I loved the selection of 90s and 2000s throwbacks! The crowd was friendly and fun! read more

Saturday 8/22 I decided to go to Monroe to have a little fund like I always do but this Saturday I saw something I have not seen before, my partner and I stood in line started about 10:30pm and waited for 1 hour, the line was ridiculous, there were 3 lines, 1 for general entry, 1 for supposedly for signed up free entry, and 1 for what looks like to me girls between 18-21, I witnessed they only letting in these girls and very little of anyone else, I'm not sure what the Owner trying to do but I believe that all clubs usually letting in all others as well. That said, I won't be coming back. The ***** rating reviews are mostly from these girls they're let in, avoided unless you look like 18-21 year old girls. Not sure if Owner is running a club or searching for new strippers. read more

Furnace tune-up was done quickly and the technician found that the filter hadn't been changed in a long time by the previous owners. He had a compatible filter in the truck, installed it and showed us the correct replacement interval for our unit. Useful practical guidance. read more

Monroe is the coolest spot in sf that's open on Sunday mornings!! 6am-11am baddest bass and drum and security is amazing and the bartenders are like family. read more

A must come when you in the city of San Francisco! European vibes. Good people, atmosphere, and energy! It's all about energy.

Love this place. Good vibes. Love the patio. Met some of the coolest fuckinv people here. One of the best 6am-12noon clubs in the area

Sid is amazing!! Love Monroes and always have so much fun every time I go. Very clean and also good drinks

Always since day 1 been the place that has been most welcoming and special to my friends and me. The staff are absolutely amazing and the crowd is consistently a vibe. Love this place read more

Adele is very nice and friendly. Very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable . Great place and great music

Sekena and Gio are amazing!!!! I love them. They made this bachelorette incredible. I am so grateful for them

Oh boy, where do I start? I have witnessed people literally using drugs inside the restrooms on several occasions. I thought the bouncers were supposed to search everyone that enters this bar/nightclubs. Besides that, the restrooms were filthy and no ventilation. This was all on Sunday morning, where they have their after hours house music. The DJs were good, but I doubt it is worth coming back to this establishment, which is in a sketchy part of the North Beach area. read more

I wish I'd gotten to see more/experience more of this place but I've never even been. I found them online and saw they had rooms/space for rent. The place looks amazing and appeared perfect for what was planned. We called 30 days ago about renting out a space for our mother's 70th birthday dinner party at the start of December (About 7 months away at the time). I was told to email an inquiry when I called about this and told that was the easiest way to book and get information. I was also told I"d hear back within 48 hours...well it's been a month and I haven't heard a word. I found another way of booking through Peerspace and had to register/provide a picture. Once I provided a picture I heard back pretty quickly and was told they were booked all December for holliday events/parties. It just feels odd and ominous that I got a response so quickly once I had to upload a photo and I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel biased. I'm not sure but this was a poor experience from never hearing back directly from "The Monroe", then having to register/load a photo and only then hearing there was no availability. The calendar still shows rooms available as of today so this is the reason for a poor review. They couldn't/didn't take care of this by phone, didn't respond by email, and then an affiliate responds after a photo is loaded that there is no availability. No cheers! read more

Monroe's was such a fun experience! It's easily one of my favorite clubs in San Francisco. The music was fantastic and really made it a great place to dance. The club is well set up, and I appreciated the coat rack downstairs to keep things organized. The drinks were good, the vibe was lively, and the music kept the energy going all night. Overall, it's a fun, exciting spot that I'll definitely be returning! read more

Great experience the security guarding the section went above nd beyond to make sure and fun and comfortable experience. Definitely need an AC unit IMMEDIATELY but great spot read more

I have so many happy memories here, and deeply appreciate the convergence of local musicians, industry members relaxing after work, and dancers that attend Sunday mornings. been part of this party for more than a decade.... it's an essential SF experience! thank you Payam & security/ bar staff :)! read more

A true gem; this venue consistently blows my expectations out of the water each visit. Security is efficient and kind, the bartenders are fast and jubilant, the decor is opulent and fun, and the DJ (be it battle of the decades, Saturday night, or Sunday morning) seems to always know how to make the crowd move. They even have free coat check, and a patio where guests can smoke. What a time to be alive! read more

Owner lets people in for free to give good reviews. I will say this place is a beautiful club. Ambience is fantastic, but please work on your capacity. Came on a Sunday and was shoulder to shoulder with everyone, even an hour after they opened. Music is cool, drinks are a little watered down, and they could really use some fans or A/C in there. read more

regardless of the wait Payam Arvin makes it happen - come thru it's worth it the night will be lit as long as you're here

Amazing staff! The music is what I came for and they delivered!!!! I will be back!!!!

He cool as hell we just chilling having a vibe just chilling and having a vibe. We in here this is the vibe for the summer.

I have been living in the city for over 20 years, and last night was the first time I went to this place because they had the drink special. When they played 60s, the drinks were $1. When they played 70s, the drinks were $2. When they played 80s, the drinks were $3 and so forth. This place is gorgeous, the deep green/blue ambiance with gold cleaning chandeliers & dark mirrors, just absolutely beautiful. The place got really packed, and the two bartenders were working that floor like you wouldn't believe it. Hardly any line; they were very quick. The DJ was incredible until he got to the 2000s, but he was working the younger crowd, so I get it. I had a great time, yummy drinks, good music, and a fun crowd- great energy & vibes. read more

WATCH OUT BOUNCERS ON ONE 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.

I always have a great time at Monroe's! Great atmosphere and music. If you come out to San Francisco, you should definitely stop by Monroe's for a fun time! read more

If you're looking for a night out in San Francisco where the energy never dips, Monroe is it. The place is always packed in the best way possible. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with a great vibe, beautiful venue decor and music that keeps everyone moving. What makes it special is the variety the DJs play, everything from pop and EDM to hip-hop and those guilty pleasure sing along anthems everyone secretly loves. No matter your vibe, you'll hear something that gets you singing and dancing. The bartenders are quick, friendly, and somehow remember your drink even when it's super busy. The staff keeps everything flowing smoothly despite the constant rush. It's honestly one of those places that feels alive every single night never empty, always a line, and always worth it. Monroe never misses, get there early enjoy a full night read more

Do not come here on Halloween or any major event day! I bought my ticket days in advance thinking it would guarantee entry, big mistake. I waited over 3 hours in a chaotic line full of people cutting, and eventually just gave up and left. What's the point of buying a ticket if you can't even get in? I've seen Vegas crowds handled better than this! read more

I've been here a couple times with my friends after a night out of bar hopping. On Friday nights, they play music from different decades at every hour. On Saturday nights, they play top hits and throwbacks. Definitely come early if you don't want to wait in a long line! Majority of the crowd are college students, so it does feel like a frat party at times. Their drinks are also more affordable than other clubs. Going to the bathroom is always a mission, once you're deep inside the dance floor. The bathrooms are next to the bar and the intersection gets really crowded. However, I love that they offer complimentary coat check downstairs. Great spot if you enjoy dancing and don't mind the college students. read more

the dress code is nonsense. we live in San Francisco. the drinks are watered down as well.

I went with my friend last night and this dude kept tryna be all over her, and then he fell onto me and made me fall. The bouncer happened to see me fall and immediately kicked me out and said I was too drunk and when we told him what happened he went out of his way to defend the guy AND told my friend to come back inside without me... read more

The best night club in SF- if you ever see Lucy, say hi for me. Shes my homegirl Best music AND NICE SECURITY read more

Monroe is easily one of the best nights out in SF. The music is always on point. It's that perfect balance of high-energy but still tasteful: house, throwbacks, and tracks you didn't know you needed to hear until they hit on that sound system. The DJs actually know how to read the room, so the energy just keeps building throughout the night. The vibe is what really makes it. The space has this Art Deco, high-design feel that makes it look elevated without feeling pretentious. It's dark, moody, a little cinematic, and somehow always packed with a good crowd. It gets busy, but in the best way. You can tell people actually come here to dance and have a good time. Staff is dialed in. The bartenders move fast even when it's slammed, security is professional and respectful, and the bottle service team keeps everything flowing without hovering. It feels organized, not chaotic. If you want a place that feels like a real nightclub, not just a bar with a DJ, Monroe delivers every time. Definitely one of the spots that still feels special in the city. read more

Monroe is my favorite place to go out in the city hands down. I love the Friday's decade music with the happy hour ($1-$6 6-11pm). The vibes are always great and they have complimentary coat check. When I went out for my friend's birthday, Bernard the security guard made sure we got in quick and had a great night!! They also have a smoking patio if you're into that. read more
