The best night club to party. This place has good lightings and ample space for 200 to 250 peoples. This place has 1st floor for more seating capacity. Few rooms for fun activities and 2 bars. Option for live dj adds pleasure to this place.There is also option to keep your belongings safeThis is just best place for parties.

I’ve done visuals here many times and absolutely love this place! They have 3 projectors in the main room which makes it more interesting to encompass the main dance floor. I always tell people to check out this place - a staple in sf nightlife

Great vibe and feel. Bars on both floors and plenty of space. Good music system and acoustics too.

I would give this place 4-stars if the sound system in the main room isn’t so awful! You can barely hear the bass and all the music down there sounds just very muffled. This place used to be great but the SOUND needs to be fixed in the main room! It’s a shame since they have so many great DJs and events there. PLEASE FIX THE SOUND SYSTEM downstairs!!!

One of the best venues in SF, always have a great time here. Staff is awesome

I attended a closing party here and I had so much fun rocking some nice dancing steps with my other mates. The bar, stage and outdoor deserts all added so much colour to the whole event.

Came here for a corporate event. Well managed. Two bars. Plenty of toilets. Lots of spaces for break out. Great dance floor and stage.

Decent venue. Super outdated and you feel cramped. Went here for the Cheese Monger Invitational. Good people watching.

Really spacious night club. I had a blast here.

Bay Wheels customer appreciation party ... off the CHAIN!!

Popped in for a Google-hosted event and enjoyed the great music, food, and drinks. Attentive, fast, and friendly service at the bar.

A really nice club at night. We had a private event where the entire club was booked. Good space on the ground floor and upper floor with sufficient seating and there are 2 bars as well. The dance floor is large and music was just amazing. Great lighting and good drinks were available. Happy to have the experience to visit here.

Be careful when setting drinks down even for a second. Im not much of a drinker and have always been extremely cautious. I was rufied when I set my beer down for only a second to take my sweater off. I was lucky that I had a good friend to help me thru it.I found out that this has happened quite frequently here. PLEASE DONT SET DRINKS DOWN. Management did return my call and seemed concerned but they have their hands full :-(

This is the only club I have been to in San Francisco but it was a lovely experience. I cant really compare it to others though. I like the way it is decorated with a mix of some ancient looking equipment and the woodwork that looks like an unfinished work. It really merits the name. And the service from the bartenders is really fast.

Since I cant leave zero stars I must leave one. Guy setting up the barricades sends people to a bar around the corner instead of lining people up. THIS IS A 21 AND UP venue only! Yet no where on the The Crystal Method bill did it say that, do you think anyone could say something to us?.... No it wasnt until they brought out their signs that said 21 and over only. We drove from Sacramento for this show. I would never consider this establishment again solely on how I was treated. Shame on you for not having your act together.

Excellent place for parties. They provide with good food and friendly bartenders.The club with two floors and your have enjoy the music and dance on the ground floor. Second floor is more quite and good if you need some place for chat.They have bar on each floor, so you dont have to wait for a long queue

We went there for a ticketed event. Was not told beforehand that there is no re-entry. Security would not let me go to my car to get my cigarettes and they said they will sell it inside. Bartenders throw water bottles when you tell them you want a cup of water instead paying 4 dollars for a bottled water! The management of this place definitely thinks they are smarter than everyone. Will never go back.

One of the best venues and layouts Ive ever been to. There is a ton of space for the greatest events of your imaginations. The two floor setup is perfect with ability to have two bars. The bartenders are very friendly and personable. The food vendors were also excellent. Possibilities are almost endless with the space here. Very clean facilities.

Hands down the best Club in SF. The sound system is spectacular. Drink deals and fast bartenders will make you fall in love with this venue. In comparison to other clubs, the drinks are super affordable here. They even have slushees upstairs on any given night! As the city is ever changing, pretty please Public Works....DON’T!!

Nice space, came here for a deep house yoga event, did not disappoint!

Public Works is such a cool space. I think the review all depends on what you are doing here at the time of your visit. I have been lucky enough to attend a few private events here and really love the layout of the space. There are areas to dance, a stage, a few bars, and a couple areas that a perfect for more private conversations. The size also allows for a pretty big group. Overall a nice venue.

Great sounds and visuals in this very much local club. Probably the premier place in the city to catch burning man related DJs. The only minus is the sometimes very long lines and at good nights how crowded it can get inside.

Ive bern here for a few different shows and they host a day-party during the summer. First floor is one, big open space with Bar on the opposite wall from the entrance. Upstairs, there is second room and also a balcony for looking down onto the main floor.Ive only gone for music, so cant speak to other events. Ive found the bartenders to be fast, the acts good, and the crowds friendly. It can get crowded but its spacious enough that you never feel trapped.

Cool, funky industrial space. Great for private events, plenty of opportunities to customize this two-floor space. Very raw with exposed beams and piping, so it wont look classic an traditional no matter what you do.

Its my second favorite club, but owned by the people that started my first favorite club (Mighty)! They get consistently great DJs and people are there to dance. Much like Mighty, its a large room. It also has a balcony area thats wide enough to dance on if the ground floor fills up. Theres something about the sound dynamics of the place I cant quite identify. I use to call it an echo chamber, but I feel like theyve come a long way with that. Theres just something about the space that just doesnt completely jive with me. That being said, I do think they are a fine, fun club that puts up world class talent. They have professional security and bartenders and staff. And a clientele that is there to have fun and dance. Have Fun!

Loved the place. Big venue with dancing floor and extra upper floor, quality sounds was amazing and the DJ was lit ;) the vibe, dark vivid color inside when you get in, its perfect!!

A very unique venue! Ive been to a holiday party here and a Moth show. I believe that the building was converted because the layout is different. Its also a bit out of the way of the main street. Overall, id recommend it as a multi-purpose venue.

Art and party! What a place!

Don’t waste your time and money. We had very bad experience here:(

Had a great night there as they booked two of my favorite djs, Tim Sweeney and the Juan Maclean. If I hadnt gone to see those two, Id probably find it a little pricey though. Beautiful show!

This place is interesting and huge, we were there for a private party, so not sure what it is like normally. It was busy and it doesnt have the best accoustics. There are a lot of steps but it did also have a lift.

This is a spacious, 2 floor venue, that holds 449 people. There is at least one bar, and a decent sound system. Great for throwing a personal or company party!

Great for throwing a personal or company party with ample space for vendors! Its a 2 story event venue with a stage on the bottom floor with a bar and decent sound system. The space is open with space to view the stage from the second level.I dont think itd throw a party here but its definitely a cool space, that can be utilized with endless possibilities.

Had a private event here and I loved the place. It was so awesome. Thank you for having us.

Used to love this place. Its changed a lot over the past year. As other reviews mention, bouncers/security staff kinda ruin the overall experience, but the DJs usually make it worth the trouble.

One of my favorite venues in San Francisco. Ive seen it turned into a pop-up foodie night, a conference talk, and a few pretty wild concerts. The space flexes really well and I always have a good time. Bar service is pretty good, and sometimes even that gets taken over by the event. Bonus: theres a Banksy piece on the outside wall.

I dont go and see electronic music very often but I really enjoyed the recent concert I went to at Public works. Its a large space and they have a lot of bars around so there was never a long line. I think the atmosphere is a little lacking but with all of the dancing and light shows going on, I can understand why they would want to keep it rather bare.

I went to an event in Public Works and the space was great. The staff was polite and fun to interact with. They were organized and efficient. They are a great space that can transform to anything you want your event to be.

Great party location with a dancing area on the bottom floor and tables and chairs at the upper floor. Friendly staff and awesome bar.

They only have about 2 bathrooms for 500 people. How is that a thing?

Cool place with interesting events.

Public Works is an event space in the Mission that has 2 floors and a bar. Ive only been here during tech parties but my experience at these parties are always positive. Although small, the venue does provide an intimate atmosphere for networking events. My biggest gripe is that theres only one bathroom and it tends to be pretty dirty.

I love the design of this club. The dancefloor is very big, the artists that play there are the best electronic music selection in this city. Bartenders, audio quality, everything makes this an excellent place to spend the night.

Had a great night here. The setup with the different floors works quite well.

Good dancing in a well designed space.

Five stars for the consistent quality of their variegated programming. They book great bands in a flexible, and down home space (barn like). Basic cash only bar.

Good place with good food and drink as well located in strategic location of San Francisco, California, USA

Had a private party here, the place is great, can handle a crowd of 200 or more, the 2nd floor is spacious & has also a bar, cocktails are good.

Nice venue for events, friendly staff. Upstairs is super spacious!

Bouncer kicked me and my friend out of the line for drinking. Which everyone else was doing. Had us wait off to the side for 30 more minutes after wed already thrown away our bottles and were minimally intoxicated. Used this as an opportunity to teach my friend and I (both women) a lesson. Will never go back here after this experience.

Great sounds and visuals. Awesome DJs and a smoke area outside.

Great music, conferences, staff, etc. and the sound system is top notch! Lookin for a good time? Public Works, folks.

My favorite club in San Francisco. The best DJs, the best sound system, and the best scene for pure enjoyment of house music in the city. Dont go for a super luxe club with flashing lights and tasty drinks. Go for the music and dance well past the SF curfew.

Impersonal club on the bigger side as far as SF goes, bad acoustics(funktion one system badly needs tuning) , awkward beams all over the place, expensive drinks...early closing time(though lately staying open longer), sometimes weird crowd.BUT some of the best bookings in SF. so youll probably end up there if you like quality music.

Great sound and cool setup - a lot of great shows/parties have gone down in this spot.

Came for Moodymann during Halloween weekend, loved the vibe and the venue!

Terrible. I went to go see Todd Terje perform and was having a good time while the openers were playing, then got escorted out by the bouncers unexplained before I ever had a chance to see the main act. I definitely wasnt causing trouble, but the bouncers dont care. I want my $30 back.

Large space... Good size dance floor. Awesome staff. Good Music and cool events.

Cool club space! Came for a Speechless event which was awesome -- improv PowerPoint presentations!

Awesome bar with huge dancefloor and a 2nd story with a balcony. Bartender is quick to the draw and I got my drink less in 2 minutes. Great for office and corporate parties ans events. Sound system is state of the art. They offer live musical performanxes aside from djs and their mixes.

Cool spot with an upstairs. Bar is well stocked and has a good size dance floor

Was a very intimate setting good sound system, good drink choices

I went there to see Talib Kweli this past Friday! My first time and really liked the venue. Great dance floor as I got to explore it. The bar only accepts cash. Had a great time as a concert venue.

Love this place! Great speakers, decent prices on drinks, friendly staff, large smoking area, good vibes, sweet artwork from local artists that get auctioned there, and a steady lineup of respectable DJs to keep your booty movin.

The people inside accused me of pulling twice, I didn’t puke at all they just want to kick people out so that they can let more people in and make more money :/ such a scam.

It was a wonderful experience ive been here a few time for art shows and parties. the djs are always amazing there mores then enough space to dance. a beautiful bar.

Great fun burner bar. not snobby, nice chill vibe and not too crowded.

Great space ,crowed gay friendly

Depends on night and crowd, but they got good sound in function 1

My favorite club in SF. Over the last couple of years I have seen other clubs evolve around PWs concept and music. I get to see all my burners and the music keeps the people always up and elevated.

I love the set up. Gotta join the burners

Good atmosphere friendly staff but super expensive and certainly not enough stalls in the ladies.

Best vibe, sound, music, and visuals in SF

Music is great! Security and front door people! The worst!

The AsYou LikeIt parties when they are here are great. Best vibes in the city. Burner crowd.

The downstairs sound system is pretty awesome, one of the best Ive come across. Theres an upstairs room also but its not always open. Sometimes the venue hosts non-music events like art shows and it use to host the underground farmers market (indie food tables). Street parking can be tough on Friday & Sat nights since its near the night club & bar area. Id suggest looking for street parking along 13th St (under the highway), or on Van Ness or Folsom, south of 13th St.

Power trippin security ruined my experience when I did nothing wrong.

Great place to hang around with friends

This is a very nice place i would like to come for some drinks on the weekend, very spaciouss & for my first afternoom here, it fits a good amount of people, nice securityyy and nice bar.. I would really recomend it

Fantastic event space and music venue with a kick-ass Funktion One sound system!

A great space for lectures and hanging out.

One of the best sound systems in the Bay Area!

Great music , great vibe.

Overrated food. Waste of time for overpriced bite sized snacks.

Bringing the best musicians to San Francisco, I love this place.

Cool chill spot for events.

Great venue for show, sound system is aiiiight

Great events, great drinks. Friendly staff.

Decent venue. Kinda homespun.

Great place for dancing.

Great music, fun crowd

Great DJs, good people, sweet vibe

Super expensive. And everyone yelling over the music instead of dancing to it :(

Coming here for attending of farewell party a global event.

Fun place for an art exhibit.

Racist people operating the entry to the club. Tried to get in 9/18 and black woman and black bouncer would not let me in because i was white. I had the 20 dollars and they would not let me in. Phone was dead, and they would not allow me to meet up with my friends. They left me stranded on the street.

Good after party club.

Cheap drinks great shows.

One of the few places in the Mission with a Funktion One sound system. Typically open past 2am on the weekends.

Massive complex, good for private events
