This place is awesome!! So fun. My husband and I came here at night during our first San Francisco visit. Lots of cool things to see and do. It was pretty packed, though. We had to wait to see or do anything pretty much. Other than that, wed definitely recommend this place!

Last Saturday, I decided to have fun and chill after a long day at work. One of my friends recommended this Bar for its excellent entertainment, and they did not disappoint! They have live music, amazing drinks, and the staff are very welcoming and attentive. I never thought this place existed before! I will definitely come back again next weekend.

I visited this bar with friends one Saturday evening. Fortunately, we arrived early and enjoyed champagne and cocktails. If you want to arrive after 7:30 pm, I would advise booking a table as it gets very busy. They also have the fancy machine where you register your card and then top up your own glass.

It was pretty cool!! Two different dance floors with different types of music and bars at both areas! They have an open patio with is really nice,especially if you want to cool off. A plus is that they had tacos selling at the patio section!

Do not waste your money on this “nightclub.” Had to pay a cover fee of $20 for me and my husband and it wasn’t any special events going on and it was empty. The drinks were watered down and expensive. The bar tender was rude and unfriendly and there was a fight. On top of that for $20 entry a person there is no where to hang your coat so I had to carry it all night. Ladies should at least be able to get in free until a certain time because there was nothing but men. If I was going to pay these prices I could’ve went to Vegas. Not worth the money.

They have hip hop and reggaeton Saturday nights. We’ve recently moved here and wanted to find a good hip hop place to go to sometimes. DJ was awesome (I think DJ Logic). Different areas with different music types. So much fun! Strong drinks too.

Great place for a Saturday night out. 2 rooms with separate bars plus an exterior area behind the club. There were a lot of people between the two rooms though making it difficult to move from room to room.

A good place to listen to music on the weekend

It was fun but extremely packed. The whole place was filled up to the max. We had to go outside to get a breather. Drinks were good, good vibes all around. Id go back.

If you have 2 different sides with bar stick to one style of music

Review №21

Nice place, but they could use more bartanders for faster service. I waited almost 20mins for one round of drinks.It can get super crowded, cant even dance comfortable. For younger crew.

Did not appreciate my gf being accosted by the “owner” after she got turned away for not adhering to the “dress code”. Like nah, don’t act like you’re trying to do us a solid by making an exception “just this one time”. Just admit she wasn’t dressed scantily enough for your tastes but the dearth of hot girls inside forced you to reconsider. Like, this wasn’t even gonna be a problem until the bouncer and owner decided to start dropping insults and misogynistic BS at her. Not impressed by your fake attempts to make your club seem exclusive. And no, you do not own the sidewalk.

Drinks were priced good. music was relevant to the crowd. all the bartenders were fast but still gave you the quality attention. will go back next time Im in San Jose

Review №25

I have been here before and the reggaetón area is usually nice but lately I don’t know what happened with the DJ but they only put hip hop and not reggaetón at all, we used to like this place because of the latin music but today was very disappointing, I asked a song to the DJ more then one time and he never played it. Not cool honestly. If you advertise reggaetón music in your post yo should play it.

It is a good place to hangout and chill. The best part is you can bring your food also and eat it.

Review №34

The place has a nice ambience, with two DJs for two connected dance floors. Both having two bars too. You can easily move between places if you dont like a particular music. Plus there is an additional open space inside, away from music where you can relax and spend some quality time.

Review №36

Relatively new so not as poppin as it could be. Definitely has potential to join the higher ranks if they appealed to college students.Edit: This spot started gaining popularity. It’s now a good spot to go out. Go check out the boy Brandon. He Djs there regularly

I went bar hopping with family who came into town for the holiday on Wednesday night and we decided to try this bar. The bouncer informed me that I could not wear my SF Giants baseball hat which would have been fine if it werent for the 2 men inside wearing baseball hats. I pointed to one of the men wearing a hat and the bouncer just looked at me said no hats. I dont support businesses that selectively enforce policies based on unknown criteria, so we left and had a great time at another bar.

Review №43

Terrible! The securities think they own the place. They didnt let out friends in because he didnt have a button up shirt although they were letting others in who just had tshirts ( he was latino). I was in line way before 11pm with my ticket. I got to the front at 11:01 and they forced me to pay. The lady was very rude when i tried to talk to her. She gave me attitude for no reason. If u go, prepare to be mistreated by staff

It was extremely hot in the room with hip hop & it was alcohol spilled all over the floor other that that it was a decent club. There were different rooms playing different genres of music & the taco man on the patio was great!

So i was on the guest list at Enso last night the “big reggaetón take over” my first time there ,securities were being sooooo rude & extra I️ went in but one of my friends was not on the guest list so they kicked us out and onceI️ tried to get back in alone they were not letting me, & were claiming that i was never on the guest list meanwhile the back door was unlocked the whole time and people were getting in! LOL what a way to have “strict security” BTW took them 20 min to let me back in!

Went for an event tonight. Was supposed to be a hiphop/reggae St Patricks day function and yeah...NOT! This change of name from Freddie Js to Enso also changed the customer service welcoming atmosphere as well as the overall ambiance. The bartender was hella rude and had mad attitude and the event barely had started. He made my boys drink wrong all because he didnt listen to the full request. They didnt play no reggae music and unfortunately for all the times we have interacted with the owner in the past never has he been rude to anyone in his establishment, but tonight...Yeah was very disappointed. Smh, maybe next time if there is a next time. *shrugs*
