One of the best nighclubs I have ever worked at, so cool supporting my bro Michael Lanza last night on stage. 4 stories of different music options.Lights, drinks, and fun all around. Definitely a top pick for me if I ever get interested in nightlife. Also a good spot for Photography but ask ahead.

The venue itself was fine pretty big, I went to see a dj I liked other than that I don’t go there. The drinks are definitely overpriced, small and weak. I would recommend pre gaming elsewhere. I’ve been out all over the Castro and they make the drinks stronger, better size and cheaper. They are also deceitful show was advertised till 3AM and they ended at 2:20AM a lot of people were upset.

When 3 floors are opened for a New Years Party, the time spent here is unforgettable! Lots of room to dance and have fun.

Terrible sound system. Mids are way off (muddled) and heavily distorted bass. I am surprised great artists are coming here to put on their music.

I love live music/performances and this venue is definitely one of my favorites. There are different rooms, floors that each have their own vibe, depending on what kind of music you’re feeling. The bars are located on every floor & easy to access which make getting a drink in a crowded venue painless. There are fans in the main room which keep it nice and cool despite all the bodies dancing around. You have a great view of the stage and it’s easy to navigate through the rooms. I can’t wait for the next event here at 1015!

The venue itself is pretty decent. Also pretty big. Multiple floors with various types of music to choose from. The main area got s little hot once packed though. Also, the bartenders were really rude, however, and every time I ordered 1 drink they would try to haggle me into buying more. Only 1 drink? Seriously? Get another for your friend.

The venue was ventilated, but not well enough considering how much smoke was permitted to be produced by concert-goers. I have to say that the weed smoke was uncomfortable for me, but I did see a rap artist who sings about the stuff, so I can’t complain. Bar staff was friendly even when just grabbing tap water. The venue boasts nominal security presence, pat downs, ticket checks, doorman, and security inside the venue. The place sort of had a purple light to it and some nice curtains on the second floor, with I think 3 bars spread across the two story club. The sound quality was superior to some competitors in the area. I would not recommend this venue to the average person, but if you are comfortable inhaling large amounts smoke and being shoulder to shoulder and making physical contact with people in front of and behind you, then go.

Super shoddy venue, and very poorly run management. Doesnt matter who they end up booking, the layout of the place is just awful that it ruins any show.Spend your money elsewhere.

Good but not great, especially considering the drink prices. Ive been coming here since the 90s. The place hasnt changed much. I love that there are several rooms with different music and atmosphere in each. I love that the bathrooms were modernized and are generally VERY clean. I love that they take credit cards at the bar for a single drink.Theres very little security here. No pat-downs. It would be very easy for someone to smuggle in a weapon. Given the security situation around the country, this is distressing.

Came here for bottle service with 20 friends on Halloween. Ive never before encountered staff who are as rude, aggressive and entitled. Even the bouncers were extra and made us feel like cattle. When we finished 3 x $400 bottles of grey goose, we asked our server how much another costs and she said well, it depends on how intoxicated you are. (??????) I get that some people are clowns at bars, but my group was polite and reasonable despite being treated like children. Would never, ever go back.

On Friday 3/15/2019 I was assaulted and falsely imprisoned by the staff at 1015 Folsom for over two hours, handcuffed and dragged into a locked room. This is not a joke, and legal action is being taken as we speak.At approximately 1:30am I approached the coat check area in the basement level of 1015 to retrieve my wifes jacket. Unfortunately, she had misplaced the coat check ticket, and they told us to get lost. I asked if I could speak to a manager about the process of retrieving a coat if a ticket had been misplaced. They instead got the club security who asked me to come outside with them. I stated that I would stay put until I had a chance to speak to the manager. (Its important to note that I was not intoxicated as I intentionally was not drinking to wake up early to go rock climbing).At this time, the security grabbed me, forced me to the ground, and handcuffed me. All of their weight was placed on top of me, and I could hardly breathe. They then carried me out of the club and sat me down on the sidewalk curb where they insisted that they had contacted the police.After 45+ minutes I was still handcuffed and began shouting where are the police, please someone call the police. Once I started this call for help, they again tackled me to the ground and then dragged me into the VIP ticket entrance that was no longer in use. They carried me by my arms behind my back, which has resulted in a torn rotator cuff on my left shoulder.They did this to hide their actions from the public. Once in the room, I was kneed in the chest, laughed at, and mocked. They had a body camera that was supposedly on the entire time. My lawyer will be working to retrieve this footage.I sat in this room for another 1 hour plus before the police finally showed up. The cops immediately un-handcuffed me and collected the information on what had happened. By this time it was approx. 4am.The staff at 1015 began to make up a story of me trying to break into the coat check (this did not happen and should be on camera). They then told the police that they would be willing to let me go and not press charges for trespassing. I refused this offer as I fully intended their actions to be made public through a public court case where I knew they would end up in serious trouble for their actions. Even after stating I would instead prefer to have them charge me, they refused.1015 refused to press charges to prevent a collection of evidence right then and there by the police as they knew what had been done was not only illegal but would risk the closure of their business.I will be pursuing legal action against 1015 Folsom in order to get the footage that was taken this night of the assault, handcuffing and unlawful, false imprisonment out to the public.Injuries documented: Split lip, two cut fingers, bruised wrists, bruised knees/legs, torn rotator cuff on left shoulder.If you have information or additional footage from this night, please reach out to me.

One of my favorite music venues / clubs in SF. A lot of big artists perform here when theyre rolling through town, but theres also plenty of new talent putting on shows. Outside of the main floor, there are two (sometimes three) other dance floors to explore during shows. The DJs in the other rooms are usually really solid. Make sure you check their site for upcoming events and buy tickets in advance -- things get sold out early and they dont always have tickets at the door. Drinks are a decent price, the crowd can be fun but sometimes you get some creepy characters (as with most clubs in SF).

Do not subscribe to their emailing list. They will never let you unsubscribe and you will get emails everyday. They think they are very smart by doing this but I am taking measures to make sure it doesnt happen to other people. All my attemps to reach them with this issue did not work.

I always end up at 1015 Folsom for the fantastic artists who are consistently drawn to this club. While the sound system is incredible, the club itself could do more to appeal to a more discerning crowd. Perhaps the crowd here is a reflection of what SF has become, but the drinks and prices could be improved if they had the desire.

Review №31

Ive been to the venue a few times during special events with RAW Natural Artists and once for a New Years Party with Thundercat. Ive never neen there on just a regular weekend, so I cant really speak to the quality of usual service, but I can say that its a great space with lots of room- you can choose to be in the middle of the action or spread out if you prefer. They offer multiple bars, dance floors and lounge areas. Ive had great experiences there!

Went with a group of friends and because of the web site I though it was going to be a nice place, why you put strictly enforce dress code, when theres people inside with jeans, or a guy with a red polo, or lots of girls looking like a hooker, bad experience and the securities think they owe the place they should be train and know they have a job because of people that go there and they treat them bad, they only good thing I can say is the girl at our table give us a really good service, so dont go if you do.t want to be disappointed, this is not an upscale club like the web site said.

I love this place. I saw samiyam, Schlomo (I think I spelled that wrong, sorry!!! I always spell it wrong . ) and countless other artists,probably too many to name.Its great to see so many of them get big.. When I put out a wonky beats packband also J Dilla-inspired beat samples, I thought it was something niche. Turns out , by a different name , that, beat-scene, (I hate that name, I still prefer Dilla Style, lol, but whatever, beat trax, or even glitch hop, or even just, edm, even though I wouldnt call madlib kinda stuff edm, nor would a lot of folk, but I digress, so, whatever, I enjoy so much of the music here. Lol. ) its played here so much more than I ever thought Id see. Word up GHF! Hey Dewey db.This place is the best club Ive ever been to.

Mediocre venue. Gets packed and fun in the main space, but there are too many sub spaces that it feels over capacity. Probably a good place to see a concert that has a few significant acts but pretty bad if there is only one headliner.

The venue does not look as big it looks on the pictures at all . The line was quite long, but we got in about 30 min which is quite good. Entrance is $20 per person, and the drinks were pricey. The excitement quite poor, music fairly average, and overall entertainment was boring. Sorry, but it is what it is. We gave it a chance to pick up, but cut our losses and left in 30 min. We went to another bar on Castro district, and man, that is where the real party began.

BEWARE of phone thiefs. My girlfriend and another friend had their phones nabbed the same night a few weeks back. We asked the staff and they handed us a well-worn binder filled with names and contact info. They said phones are stolen at a clip of up to 30/week at the venue.Would be 5 stars otherwise. This multi level club is a great place to see up and coming or pseudo underground electronic/hip-hop artists.

Review №49

Coming from New York this place has a similar vibe to Webster Hall. Its a great spot with a fun young crowd and always has some of the top artists in the country coming through for shows. I highly recommend checking out any of the four rooms always packed with live music and adult crowd of young, hip, attractive people. I came here for a Mr Carmack show which is off the chain for Halloween. Make sure if you sign up for the event list so you can know when whos coming through it and make sure to get your tickets early, always sold out. The one thing that I will say is that they need to upgrade their game in the technical department because theres no reason to have as many sound malfunctions as they do.

Not the best NYE experience. We paid a lot for a show that was waaaayyyyy oversold. The place was crowded and not managed very well. The alcohol selection does not cater whatsoever to wine drinkers. Ive been here before for a less crowded show which is why Im giving 2 stars as opposed to 1.

I used to come to this place a bunch and had fun but when I went here for the dead & co after party 12/28/15 I had such a bad time I felt obligated to share. I was waiting for a band to start and wanted to go out for a smoke and the smoking section was so packed I somehow crossed some invisible line and was not allowed back in even tho lots of ppl had seen inside and some of my friends went outside the smoking section and were let back in.

The best place to catch international world class djs. A great sound system, multiple levels and rooms with different genres, several bars making strong cocktails. Prices for drinks can be somewhat pricey, but it is a nightclub, so dont be cheap. I have seen almost every top dj in the world here over the past fifteen years, and have had some of my very best nightlife experiences and events here. Everybody is welcome, dress to impress or keep it cool and casual. The music is what everyones here for. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite venues in the city! Went there for a Passion Pit concert a month back and I had a great time. What I especially like is the space. There are multiple bars and dance floors on each level of the venue (when the whole place is opened up). I heard people complain about the long wait for coat check, but I just hid my jacket underneath the upholstery. I liked how easy it was to get a drink (just have to go to the far end or second floor of the building). The lights were really captivating and the sound was spot on.

Review №66

Pretty typical club experience. They do have four floors, so on any given night there are multiple acts going, so you can bail on one show and hit up another without ever having to go outside. I was there for a pretty big name, so it was absolutely packed and there were people running into me, but thats pretty typical of going to a rave and doesnt really have much to do with the venue itself. When I went, they even had themed drinks around the headliner of the night, which was a nice touch. They werent ridiculously overpriced, either, which I was pleasantly surprised by, and the bartenders managed to be pretty quick and keep up with the demand and the large crowd. That alone was an impressive feat. The bar is cash only, though. I did read there was an ATM inside, but I didnt look for it, since I came prepared.

Packed club for 20 somethings, loud DJs spin into the wee hours for the ravers. Long lines wait to get inside, especially on the weekends. Drinks are pricey, but most of the clientele is not drinking in the club. Most people walk to public transit of Uber as they stumble away after a fun night of dancing.

This is one of the best venues to check out underground music. They feature artists like Tokimonsta, Flying Lotus, and other hiphop/electronic type of music in one room while TOP 40 in the other room. They have plenty of bathroom stalls so you wont have to wait too long.

I went here for a Ghostly International party and it didnt dissapoint! The music was pretty balanced and the drinks were better than I expected. I love that anyone can walk in with casual attire. Other spots in SOMA are definitely not so lax. One thing that peeves me is that tickets off of Eventbrite need to be printed out and brought to the venue. Whats with that? If its on our cellphones, it should be accepted. Kinda lame.

Review №94

1015 could be a hit or miss. The line to enter is always long, but moves at a surprisingly fast pace. Love that theres no dress code but the ventilation sucks and so does the cash only bar. The venue itself is pretty large at 3 floors but more often than not, its packed way over capacity making you feel more like youre in a sardine tin rather than a club. They consistently book good acts and most times the tickets are pretty affordable, but by reading other peoples reviews, its not really worth it if youre trying to watch a special performer. Seeing djs here are okay, but anything else that they try to pass off as a concert, special performance, etc. will probably cost you an arm and a leg for maybe only 20-30 minutes of actual singing/rapping/what have you.Overall, this place isnt bad if youre lucky enough to wind up here on a good (read: uncrowded) day. Fair warning though, I have heard that a lot of peoples things get stolen and/or cars get broken into. My word of advice would be to skip bringing a purse and just hold onto your phone the entire time and also to park somewhere else in SF or even Daly City and just Uber/Lyft in.

I was really excited to see 2 of my favorite DJs - Prefuse 73 & RJD2 on a Friday night. Ive honestly had some good times here in the past, but not this night. They absolutely over sold the show to the point where coat check & bathroom lines were 20+ mins long and it took all your strength to push and pull through the crowd. The music might have been good but I had no idea since my friends and I were so crushed in the back corner that there was no way to possibly get to a good vantage point to listen to it. And forget about dancing, it was mostly just being jammed between sweaty random people. I definitely recommend not ever going here for anything popular. Classic example of party promoter greed trumping quality club experience. Thumbs down!

1015 Folsom boast 4 dance floors, several bars, vip lounge spaces and an atm. I have been here twice; once for an art show and the second to see Paul van Dyk. My review is for my experience for the latter.The reasons that I did not like this venue are:- The bar that I went to on the top floor was cash only, not sure if all the bars are cash only since I didnt bother checking them out, and I dont like cash only joints.- When the main dance floor got packed, the place got hot quick. Sweaty bodies everywhere bumping into you, yuck! There was no AC in the building and to compensate for the lack of AC the foggers would turn on for a long period of time, cooling you down quickly but then making the place humid.- No wooden dance floor on the main floor so after dancing for a few hours, my legs started to get sore. Maybe Im spoiled, but I prefer places that has wooden dance floors such as Ruby Skye.- Im sure that this does not happen every night but the sound engineers appeared to have technical issues getting Paul van Dyk set up and ready for his set. They took half an hour of messing with the equipment to get him up and running.Would I come back to 1015 Folsom? More than likely not unless it was for a friends birthday, another art show, or if there was a DJ that I really wanted to see.
