This cavernous SOMA warehouse is one of the best places in SF to catch hot international DJs and boogie down to everything from Eighties raver candy to psychedelic trance while watching cool laser light shows. There are three tiers and four dance floors, lavish VIP room, perfect for showcasing multiple genres on a single evening. The smallest chamber is choky with a low canvas ceiling, while the largest room takes up two floors and features a booming sound system. The clientele is young and potentially meat-marketish, but that might be one of the club’s perks.

DJs spin everything from German electro to London grime to swank drum ’n’ bass beats at this SOMA nightclub, which generally caters to the Abercrombie & Fitch crowd, but also attracts a lot of drifters, with the accessible downtown location mostly to blame. Boasting a full bar and small dance floor, the interior is spare, but gorgeous nonetheless; the walls are painted in earthtones and decorated with pop-art-inspired collages and handsome vintage portraits. Irie Cartel spins dubstep every Thursday.

You may miss it if you weren’t looking for it, but the Argus Lounge on Mission Street past Cesar Chavez is actually a hopping little spot. Contrary to how its name sounds, the Argus has nothing to do with sailing: Its peacock theme is based on the Greek legend of Argus, a multi-eyed monster whose eyes end up in peacock feathers. This long, narrow, retro-style bar features DJs and bands nearly every night of the week. However, no more than four band members can comfortably fit in the tiny corner stage area by the front door. This is a great place to bring a date: unpretentious, hip, and cozy enough to still hold a conversation while the music plays.

The 8,000 square-foot space is sectioned into three spaces, allowing patrons to alternate between a mellow lounge area (which has a huge fish tank), a full bar equipped with a billiards table and visited by weekly DJ's, and a spacious second-floor dance area. Opt for a private table setup for VIP service.

Lighting may be lacking in this dimly lit dive bar, but the drinks are strong, the bathroom graffiti is abundant, and because the narrow bar space fills up easily, good times are sure to be had.

Complete with bamboo walls and other tropical-themed embellishments, the San Francisco tiki bar offers a multitude of brain-freezing, hangover-inducing drinks. You might recoil at the thought of imbibing an entire flaming volcano bowl, but the next day you'll marvel at how you somehow downed two of the massive cocktails.
