Came here for a friends birthday. We got a table and sang lots of karaoke. The sound system was decent, wished they had more songs though. We used YouTube thru the karaoke system app and the search function was a bit weird and different from actual search results through the yT app itself so that was probably my main complaint . Other than that , the service was great and the decor was super cool. Love the Chinese & anime vibes! They also have a downstairs area with a dj. Usually they have different dj nights but the night we went they were having a mahjong event with a dj playing on the side. Surprisingly there was a lot of people playing ! I usually just host karaoke nights at my own home since I have invested in a great setup but i would definitely come again and recommend this karaoke bar if I'm in the city ! read more

If you're looking for a night out in San Francisco that has it all, Xex Night Club is the spot! This two-floor gem is perfect whether you want to chill with friends, sing your heart out, or dance the night away. The first floor has a relaxed, open-bar vibe with karaoke--perfect for casual nights or warming up with friends. Head downstairs, and you'll find a lively dance floor with a DJ spinning all night, plus a special karaoke room if you want a more private experience. Both floors have clean, well-maintained bathrooms, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Drinks are solid, and the Asian-inspired decor and vibrant lighting set the perfect mood for the evening. If you get hungry, a taco truck outside has you covered haha Whether you're out for drinks, dancing, or just good vibes with friends, Xex is a must-visit. Great service, fun atmosphere, and something for everyone--this place keeps the night moving! read more

My friends and I stopped by XeX while bar hopping for St. Patrick's weekend. On Google Maps, it shows they open at 7pm on the weekend, but when we arrived at around 7:45pm on Saturday, they were still not open, which we discovered when a couple of my friends tried to open the doors, and they were locked. A guy eventually poked his head out to tell us they'd open in another 10-15 minutes. We chose to wait since we figured it'd be nice to be the first patrons and not have to deal with crowds. Once inside, one of my friends hunted down the menu - they only had a single copy. We decided what to order, and the drinks were surprisingly super affordable, about half the price of other upscale cocktail bars, since they offer happy hour drinks until 10pm. Perks of going "early"! I got a lychee martini, and it was stronger and less sweet than any I've ever had before elsewhere. When I went to pick up my drink it was filled to the brim, practically overflowing. They definitely do not skimp out here. We took advantage of being the first guests and lounged on the comfortable couches. I snapped a few pics of the decor, which gives cyberpunk city lights vibes. After a bit, one of my friends wanted to hop to another bar, so we left, but I would've been down to stay longer and order another round. Def will keep this place bookmarked for future group hangouts! read more

Came here on a Friday night around 9pm with a friend and it was surprisingly pretty empty at first. We ordered two drinks: the HK milk tea and one of their signature cocktails. Surpringly, the HK milk tea was okay for me but it's because I'm not a huge fan of super sweet drinks, and this one definitely leaned more dessert-like. I can see why people love it though if you enjoy sweeter drinks! By around 10pm it started getting pretty busy and karaoke started, which made the atmosphere a lot more fun and lively. It's probably not the best place to catch up with a friend you haven't seen in a while since it gets loud, but it's a great spot for a night out. Would definitely come back with a bigger group of friends! read more

XeX - HK milk tea & one of their signature cocktails - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been getting instagram reel about this place from my friends because of the Hong Kong Milk Tea drink. We finally got the chance to try it after work on a Thursday night. It was so worth it! We are all cocktail lovers so their menu is perfect for us. The place is located on Polk with lots of nearby food if you want to have dinner before drinking. Lots of street parking but weekend most likely will be packed. Love the indoor decoration / vibe with karaoke. read more

pretty nice ambiance (if you want a more chill place). I went on a Thursday night at 8pm so maybe that's why but it's also a pretty new place. there's lots of asian decor, a claw machine, and a downstairs area more for dancing and clubbing. the staff were very gen z and chill. I told them I came for the HK milk tea cocktail I saw on instagram and although it was not officially on the menu (and still testing), they made it for me and it was actually fire! they told us that they were rolling it out soon alongside other flavors like matcha, durian, etc. the cocktails are $10 for happy hour (before 10pm) but they didn't tell us beforehand that they upcharge some drinks. overall they are pretty good and not insanely strong! we got: - xex-cess ($10) - lychee martini ($10) - giddy geisha martini ($10) - hk milk tea cocktail ($13 because special) - japanese old fashion ($15 because premium) - midnight in paris ($10) read more

XeX - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

My friend, Brian Kwa, and his team hosted an event downstairs last night. It was a viby place and they brought the Asian American style to the venue. Upstairs was a larger karaoke type spot and they had cocktail with Asian liquor and whiskies. The cocktails were on the sweeter side. Downstairs was more of a traditional type club vibe. A good venue overall, but it would be great to have more consistent bar staff upstairs. People got confused about the venue entrance, so organizing that better outside for events, would be helpful. read more

We booked this bar/lounge for a holiday party and encountered several issues. The drink selection was very limited, the bartender was overwhelmed resulting in long waits, and communication with management during the event was extremely poor. Despite informing them ahead of time that we would have 80 people, only two bartenders were scheduled, and they could only make drinks from the menu. They couldn't even make a simple Sex on the Beach. Overall, not a great experience for hosting a group event. While the event overall was disappointing, we want to thank Stan the bartender for doing his best. He was one of two bartenders serving about 80 people, which was clearly overwhelming. Ricardo was an amazing barback and provided great support throughout the event. read more

Fun bar in the middle of SF! Came for a drink and ended up singing Justin Bieber on their kareoke! Drinks are reasonably priced and kareoke seemed to be included. Would def come again :) read more

XeX is hands-down one of the most unique and fun clubs I've been to in the Bay. I really enjoyed the vibe, the music, and, most importantly, the instant ramen munchies station. The club's Asian-inspired decor gave off a fantastic, high-energy underground Hong Kong nightclub type vibe--sleek, neon, and totally immersive. The moment you walk in, the huge selection of drinks catches your eye the display of bottles on the shelves is absolutely beautiful. The dance floor downstairs is a high-energy paradise. It was hella packed and the live DJ kept the energy high, blending the perfect mix of hip hop and heavy-hitting EDM. It was lit! But the true genius move here is the drunk munchies station: a self-serve instant ramen bar with a full toppings bar for sale inside the club! After dancing for hours, custom-building a piping-hot bowl of instant ramen is so satisfying and fun! It's brilliant and hits the spot. Beyond the party, the amenities are shockingly great. The bathrooms were spotless and clean (3 toilet rooms and 2 sinks). And for a more intimate experience with the homies, a karaoke station right next to the bathroom entrance, complete with comfortable couches, loud speakers, and a big screen. Nothing beats ending the night with friends, great drinks, and a little late-night karaoke! Highly recommend XeX for an amazing night out with friends! read more

As somebody who works in nightlife, and frequents many bars and clubs in the city, this has got to be one of the worst I've ever been to. Firstly, watched the owner rudely dismiss a group of people who were underage but only wanted a refund for their accidental ticket purchase. Secondly, waited at the bar with nobody around for over 10 minutes waiting for the bartenders to help while they did meaningless tasks, who were also then rude and appeared very inexperienced. Thirdly, was invited by a group of people hosting an event downstairs to attend but was turned away, again very rudely, because they were already downstairs. Fourthly, tried the popular alcohol bubble tea which looked cute, but was absolutely disgusting. The vibe sucked, the crowd was weird, and the staff was beyond rude at every opportunity. There's many good bars to go to, this isn't the one read more

Hidden gem spot for karaoke in Polk St, their well is considered hungover free(PSA: Don't Drink & Drive). They have after selection to get the party started and keep it going. Stop by for a drink or stay for their party downstairs where it gets better. The service is great and they take care of you asap. Great ambiance and good service makes this place welcoming and I will be back. read more

I threw my birthday party at XeX and had the best time ever. We booked it as a private event and everything from start to finish was smooth. The space is super stylish and has a great energy--it felt like the perfect mix of upscale and fun. We did bottle service, and the staff took great care of us. Drinks came out fast, and they were super friendly and attentive the whole night. What made the night even more fun was the karaoke setup. They use a projector to show the actual music videos, not just the lyrics, which added a cool visual touch and made it more engaging for everyone. Highly recommend XeX if you're looking to host an event or just want a fun night out in SF. read more

Really enjoyed my time here. The staff are super friendly and make you feel comfortable right away. The place has a fun, laid-back vibe -- great spot to hang out with friends and just enjoy the night. Drinks are tasty and strong, which is exactly what you want at a lounge. I'd even consider having my next birthday or a special friends-and-family event here because the atmosphere is that good. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for somewhere new to have a good time. read more

I came in on the recommendation of a friend. The ambience is fantastic! Everything is shiny and new. This is a great nightclub, especially after we lost so many Polk Street bars after the pandemic. Julie the bartender was sweet and charming. The lychee martini she recommended was delicious! I'm definitely coming back! read more

XeX - Karaoke room - Karaoke Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love the vibe of this place, and the drinks were super yummy. I recommend the "Xex cess", it was sweet but still strong. They have two levels, a lounge on the first floor and a club on the second. Looks like they also had a private karaoke room for parties as well. The DJs have a great set, and the bar tenders are pretty fast making drinks. Definitely coming back to celebrate my bachelorette! read more

Super friendly! kool vibe! Xex is a new lounge/club that brings something unique to the area. Consisting of 2 floors, it allows you to switch between chill lounge/ktv and full on club vibe. Drinks are priced fairly and cocktails are stiff but tasty. Definitely worth a go if you live in the area or need a place to hangout for the night. read more

The bartender can't make drinks at all. The drinks taste like sugary candy. I have never heard of anyone adding cucumber and triple sec into a mojito. It was horrendous. The hired bartender was terrible. The bartender was inexperienced and honestly unwelcoming. I wouldn't recommend spending time here. read more

So you know they charging $20 per shot. And pay attention to your bill because you may get overcharged. I paid for 2 drinks $55. I asked what the prices were for the drinks and the bar back gave me a different price than the waitress so they ended up giving me money back for my order. Smh. read more
