Excellent place to buy drinks and hang out with friends.

The older white dude working the outside tables last night seemed borderline psychotic. Ive never seen someone so outrageously angry towards customers for no reason

Good bar for to hear and dance hip hop.

Went to this place for my 35th bday it was very much lit plus the niners won #gang

My friend had his birthday party here tonight and 3 of our friends had their wallets and phones stolen from there purses that were zippered closed and on their person. We were I outside talking to the cops and 8 other people also had their belonging stolen tonight and they said it happens all the time at Mayes. Don’t go here. Professional thieves target this place. I’ve been out all over SF and never had this happen to me or my friends in the four years I’ve lived here.

Love this place! Theyre always receptive to what were looking for no matter our party size cant wait to come back to this place again!

Definitely a place to go when you are in the mood to let loose and have a fun time. Its a crowded nightclub vibe, perfect way to start a night out. Just remember to stay safe and drink responsibly :)

Amazing brunch, Friends With Benedicts.

Awesome spot to get some food when in a hurry. Their customer service is fast, pricing is fair, great character. Will come back again

A big place thats like a neighborhood bar. No oysters during Corona.

It was a great time but it was Super Bowl weekend and we all know how it all turned out.

If you like sweet drink you will love this! See Tiffany and she will hook you up. Fun, energized and she knows whats doing. 5 star for sure!

Just a heads up. The bar likes to get shwasted. Close out your tabs right away. :)

STOLEN PHONES! READ REVIEWS! STAY AWAY. If you read all the reviews, you will notice this happens ALL the time here. Went with my friends on a saturday night, 3 of us got our PHONES STOLEN FROM PURSE. A staff employee told us oh 4 other girls just came to tell us they got their phones stolen too. Told the owner of the bar right after and he didnt seem to care and didnt try helping. All he did was say I told security and walked away. Reading from the reviews and how often phones are stolen here, I find it really suspicious that this happens so often and the owner/employees arent doing anything to stop this. Please do not go and support this place until this stops! ONLY GO HERE IF YOU WANT YOUR STUFF STOLEN. Never coming here again.

Great place to get drunk and have your ears ringing afterwards from the awesome dj if thats what youre into

We were there for the Friday night club. It was fantastic! Great variety of music!

STOLEN PHONES! DO NOT GO HERE! full blown organized crime! 3 of us got their phone stolen from within their purse. whoever is thatking Peoplethis here knows what they are doing and they do it very well, been to plenty of similar clubs in other cities and never had an experience like this. The people we suspected from came out of the bar from other doors other then the front door and they are great friends with the owner of the place which was one of the bar tenders (as we were told by staff and we spoke to him about the stolen phones) nothing was done/could be done.

Nice place, love the fireplace!

DO NOT COME HERE! THEY STEAL YOUR PHONES! Reviews are correct...STAY AWAY.

My phone was stolen!!!, Be aware guys with your stuff, this happens here all the time!!!!, And also they got $1000 from my bank account, be aware.

Theiving thieves thief in this house of Ill respite. Dont think your cards are safe with staff.

This is a review of the club. Pretty good crowded club on a Friday night. They have TVs playing the music videos. They play some older songs that everyone knows. $10 cover. Staff didnt seem that professional at closing time.

I have only been to Mayes to dance, but it is a really great place to dance! They play really good music and the dance floor is really large. They play the music videos on the tvs that are on the dance floor as well. They have nice clean bathrooms and lines are never too bad. It is such a fun place!

Criminals, literally had their bouncers jump me and break my jaw and give me a concussion because I dared ask for my glasses back, which they stole. Notorious phone thieves that for some reason are allowed to keep operating. The management told the suspects to come in and hide after they attacked me.

This place is shady af

IPHONE THEFT IS NOTORIOUS HEREI went to Mayes last night (5/4) and my iPhone was stolen out of my purse. I just wish I had read the reviews on this place prior to going because I would have read the plethora of reviews noting STOLEN iPHONES OUT OF PURSES. Security brushed it off. Its dark, loud, and we were crammed in like sardines. The most interesting part about it is this has been going on for years (one review even stated that 14 girls reported missing iPhones) and management is doing nothing about it. Why? Because theyre most likely in on it and sending people into the crowd to steal phones.DO NOT GO HERE. If you do, be very cautious and deal with the risk. Find any other bar with music and keep your precious belongings to yourself. Im sick to my stomach knowing that I lost something so valuable to me with so many memories. I dont want this to happen to anyone else!!!!

YOUR PHONE WILL GET STOLEN HERE. Go here if you want to dance until the crushing disappointment of realizing your phone is gone. NOT WORTH IT. They need to be way better about figuring out how to stop the theft here, people should stop coming until they get it together.

Went there to enjoy my Friday night w friends, was jumped by bunch of people and all my stuff was stolen. I have stitches on my head and my face. Do not go to this place, it is organized crime. It happened other girls same night as well. You can read it from other people’s as well, it’s been happening for awhile

It was so good!!!

Friends with Benedicts weekend brunch pop-up. Love it

Only went for a late night out. Great hip hop music and a young vibe. Fun place!

Friendly staff, cheap oysters ... good place for large oyster plates... though you might find better quality elsewhere ... for twice the price

I’m not even joking my phone was stolen last night at this place all the bars next to this place they know you’ll get robbed if you go there. Athorty should look in to it please. This a trap place.

Could be cleaner imo, but not my scene no more.Get drunk MFs

Supposed to be Top 40/HipHop but overwhelmingly HipHop and mostly old skool.

Cool place to hang with live music

We drove here from east bay for wednesday oyster and wings special we saw on Google search. Their hours say they open at 5 yet they were not open until 8. Once we finally do get inside they tell us that the kitchen is closed. I feel there should be a clear communication between business and customers for the hours of operation and specials to avoid wasted time making a trip there in vain and leaving hungry.

Very Packed, but decent drink potency

Awesome bar/nightclub. The owner, Matt Corvi appreciates his staff and customers.

Love this place. But after being charge for a tip on my card that I DID NOT APPROVE OF, after I had already had gave the bartender a Tip in CASH is unacceptable and illegal. Their employees should not write their own tip on receipts that clients had already signed and put the amount that it should be.

Awesome drinks ans food. Atmosphere is great also. Definitely recommend everyone to come check out Mayes

Best bartenders in the City. Great drinks, good music, good crowd. Also appreciate the water carafe at the bar.

Tiffany is amazing

Good place to go out only con there drinks are waaay too pricey !!

Amazing brunch spot!

This is a review of the club not the restaurant. My friends and I went to Mayes last night, stood in line, got our IDs checked but had no cash when we got to the front of the line. So one of our friends went inside to pull out cash for everyone’s cover. When he went to the atm, the rest of us stood to the side to wait. As we’re waiting, one of the bouncers came up to our group and said that me and my other friend didn’t get our IDs checked. However, we did! But he continued to accuse us, so me and my friend went back to the same bouncer who checked our IDs to have him recheck them . The ID-checking bouncer admitted to me and my friend to having checked our IDs already but where was his voice when the other bouncer was accusing us? Anyways, we went back to the group to wait for our friend who was pulling out cash. At this point, I decided to record a video of this bouncer who was clearly having a power trip. He saw me record and then had the audacity to tell my friend (who got back and paid for our cover) that everyone else can go in but me because I recorded a video. You’ve got to be kidding me. I went in, regardless. I understand that being a bouncer is hard because you’re dealing with a lot of unreasonable drunk people, but that gives you no right to run around pointing fingers and making accusations with not merit. And for the record, it’s my legal right to record a video in public especially if I feel as though I was being mistreated. Hire better bouncers, management at Mayes.

Terrible staff. The security at the entrance got my ID because I had to get money at the ATM to pay the cover. When I returned to guet my ID back it was gone. How can they lose the customers ID? Its so basic, terrible service ever.Why would they keep our IDs for?

Came for the night event, they need to limit amount of people, felt like a sardine can in there. Had that happened, i probably wouldnt have made it in, still way too crowded.

Cool place at night.

Agree with other comments about theft! Be very careful if you go, my phone was stolen out of my cross body purse along with a phone from my friends back pocket. Be aware of your belongings when you go looks like it has happened to a lot of people!!!!!

Bouncers are extremely rude and do not know a real ID from a fake, I was denied entrance because my REAL ID was not from this state. I’m very disappointed in this establishment after 2 years of coming here quite frequently, I can honestly say I will never go back.

Hate this place so much!!! I visited the first time almost a year ago, then on May of this year I took some friends here because I thought it was a great place, and what happened? Got my iPhone stolen (details are not important after reading other peoples comments having the same issue in this place) I got over it, got another phone and this Saturday (oct 13th) decided to go back with some friends, with the voice in my head saying; be careful, hold your phone... (my mistake was not reading reviews after my first phone got stolen or even before visiting this awful place) at the end of the night when I was about to leave I put my phone in my purse, when I was going to grab it again... GONE!!!It gets worse... two of my other friends went through the same that night, one got robbed another iPhone, and the other one a wallet with all her documents and cards in there.DONT RISK IT PEOPLE! Staff is useless and they only say: Oh, nothing we can do about it, we had a lot of stolen phones tonight What the heck!? That makes think with a lot of confidence that they are the thieves, maybe not... who knows? But they should do something about this problem.It wasnt only me, but a loooooooooooot of people! :( still so annoyed!

I havent tried the food but I love to party there.

Came here for a friends birthday party the day before Halloween this year. It was incredibly packed. We had ordered table service and were hoping to get some space, but the table service really just included the drinks and the table. There was no control over space or who was occupying tables (someone was sitting at our table when we got there). The crowd was obviously crazy, but overall a fun night. The music was a mix of old 90s to current pop and hip hop, lots of identifiable songs and not so much EDM or house music.

Really good oysters and cocktails

Cool place and friendly bartender great music

The oysters and the fries werent bad, but if youre looking for a restaurant experience, skip it. They have a limited menu which includes burgers - its more like bar food with fresh oysters of the day. Theres no one to check in with if you have reservations. Hunt down someone who looks like they might be staff, and they will tell you to sit anywhere . . .

Regular but not bad.

NOTORIOUS FOR THEFT!!! Ladies, please do not leave your phones in your purse, as ridiculous as that may sound. My phone, my best friends phone, and 14 other women who reported it got pickpocketed on Saturday night at Mayes. I heard from other friends who have visited Mayes in the past year that this happened to them too. Obviously management is doing nothing about this issue, and clearly they dont care to let their name be dragged in the dirt by shady thieves. So please, DO NOT GO HERE, or at least hold on to your purse, 24/7 if you do. I was wearing a small satchel that was on my shoulder the entire night, and the thieves unzipped my purse, reached in, and stole it without me noticing. Ive never felt so violated in my life. DISGUSTING PEOPLE...

I didnt even realize they served food(duh). Either way, every visit has been fun. And I bring tourists here, its a cool place:-)

I went here over the weekend at night when it turns into a club. It was bangin! The bouncers were not bad and the drinks I had were not watered down. Bar service was quick and friendly too considering there is only 1 bar. The DJ was spinning hip hop and everyone was dancing.

Live down the street so when they charge a $10 cover and walk right passed. But has a ok dance floor long islands are strong. Seems like my wife and I will pick up a 3rd here soon enough for the night.

I appreciate their great happy hour prices. I like this place for something simple and cheap - $1 oysters, $3 beers and a happy hour thats more like happy dinner - 5-7pm. Some good food options as well. Great decor and great dancing if youre out late!!

ItzFun app helped me find this amazing nightclub. The staff is very friendly and delicious drinks. Will visit again.

Mayes is a good spot to come if you want to dance on Polk Street. The music is current and the DJ mixes it really well. Party music. The dance floor does get crowded, and it can get really hot inside.You will have fun here if you are drunk. So get drunk!

Great customer service! Walked in and got immediate service from Erick and Cindy. Positive vibes and great music! Thanks matt you have some great employees.

Has anyone ever come here for the actual food?Im not sure, but if youre looking to dance, then this is a pretty good spot. The music is pretty good and theres a fairly big dance floor. The drinks are ho hum, so dont expect the worlds best old fashioned here. Word of the wise, watch out around midnight because thats usually when the Marina creeps down and invades this fun spot.

This place gets REALLY hot on a busy night. The dancing is ok and you get drinks relatively quickly. I wouldnt say this is the best place in San Francisco, but it for sure isnt the worst. If youre into the casual club scene its a fun time.

Bartenders wrote their own tips on my check and charged me twice for a drink order. This is unacceptable and will be reporting this to the police immediately.

So I cant speak to the food here, but the nightlife is great! We were here on a Saturday night, right before 10pm. That gets you in the doors without having to pay cover. After 10pm, cover is only $10, so its really not that bad. The bathrooms are clean and the music was good. There are two bars - one up front in the mingle/bar tables area, and one in the back in the corner of the dance floor. The dance floor is a good size but it gets packed later on in the night. So if youre not into a squish-fest, youve got to plan your timing just right.

Great drinks, atmosphere was on point.

Great DJ for dancing. Ive never eaten at Mayes, but Ive been dancing on a Friday night and really enjoyed myself. The music was great and it wasnt too crowded. No cover at the time either and short wait time.

Went for nightclub and had a blast with my girls. Great music and venue. Free coat and purse service.

Love this place! My favorite spot in San Francisco to get some dancing with my friends on the weekends or to just chill at the bar. One of the best happy hour in San Francisco from 5-7pm weekdays/ 3-7pm weekends. Food is awesome too, Oysters are their specialty.Staff is superfriendly and fun. Also great venue to host events - tons of beautifully designed, versatile space.

Happening place to watch the game.

Not much was happening that night and it was quiet. I ordered a taco salad with chicken and my friend ordered some fish tacos. They have decent, good bar food and a Happy Hour drink menu.

Great DJS in the Video Mix to get your dance on for sure!

Pretty nice dancing space at night. It’s not a major nightclub, but that’s kind of what I like about it.

The security literally threw me from my chair at the bar to leave. I was a bartender for 7 years and never experienced this amount of rude treatment. Security is rude but the waitstaff can be great.

Nice place for everyone to gather when they convert it into a night club. However their relatively high cover for nothing much in terms of entertainment as well as high theft rates (4 of my friends have had their phones stolen here on different occasions) make this place less than desirable.

Never been here for food, but definitely fun place for a night out! Generally $10 cover charge on a Friday or Saturday night so prepare for that!

For a no frills dance club this place has it going on. Mayes draws a diverse crowd of every race, age, and type and they all love to dance. Music videos of the latest pop hits line the walls while pros get down on the floor. Get there from 9-10 cover is free.

Super fun spot, lots of giant TVs, delicious food and Tiffany the bartender is a breath of fresh air!

Went here for oysters. They are cheap, service is fine.. Place is weird :)

This is the best place Tuesday thru Saturday night to dance, stop in for cocktails and have a great time. Features the best DJs bartenders and security in the bay area. Sara, Stephonia and Of course Matthew really deliver an exceptional time.

I got really drunk and there were no oysters. Provide oysters and youll get five stars

Place is fun packed on the weekends & the djs are great!

This is not just a great place to grab oysters, its also a bumpin nightclub! Their DJs play some of the most original tracks in the area. It gets crowded, so go when they get started.

Got a dozen oysters that were awesome, the avocado burger, the Cobb salad, guacamole chips couple drinks, feel very good!

This place is fun if you are looking for a rowdy night or love the club scene of Polk st. However, it is very crowded, hot and loud. If you do not like clubs, this is not the place for you. The wait for drinks is extensive, the line is always long to get in and there is almost always a cover. Can be a fun night out but is not for everyone.

Especially geared to sports fans! Multiple TVs to watch games. Nice staff & clean restrooms.

The place is overcrowded on weekends, too hot on the dancefloor. The music is average. Probably the nice place to end up the night in the neighborhood.

I can only review nightlife, but the drinks are cheap (and good) and the music is good. Fun place to pop in when going down Polk

I recently went to Mayes on a Saturday night. The music was great, the crowd was fun, and great service behind the bar. If you are looking for a cool spot to go to with your friends, be sure to check this place out.

Went for happy hour...$1 oysters...cant beat it...ate 1.5 dozen....cheers!

Excellent food. Fun music. Great crowd.

Good music and energy.

Excellent restrooms-- clean and functional

Always a great time, good music/dancing and the drinks arent overpriced

I like this place. It starts jumping after 11
