We had a great time with my friend — amazing music and DJs! BUT… what’s going on with the bartender’s attitude? He looked like he couldn’t care less about the guests. He made my drinks as if I was bothering him.
I asked, “Do you think more people will show up?” and he just said, completely deadpan, “I hope so.”
The cocktails were terrible — barely any alcohol, barely any juice, tasted like watered-down nothing.
The interior is… very specific. There’s only one bathroom, which is kind of wild for a club. And right next to it, there was a guy openly selling drugs.

The base was amazing/intoxicating. Loved the inclusive Drum & Base Sundays to ruin my monday.

A dive bar/ dance club where all the society reject hang out, it's the place to make great friends that will inspire you to be you .

We came to F8 on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly busy — great vibe and energy. The music was on point, and I really appreciated that they sell 0% alcohol beers so I could still blend in and enjoy the night without drinking. The venue feels well-managed overall.
Big shoutout to the lady working the door — she was super pretty and her warm smile honestly made my night. That kind of positive energy at the entrance sets the tone. Give her a raise!
Only downside was the bouncer — he made me feel a bit unwelcome, not sure if it’s because I’m not local or what, but it left a weird impression. Thankfully the door lady turned it around and kept the experience solid. Would still recommend checking it out!

Great vibe. Friendly bartenders and great cocktails. Was there as the staff transitioned but the vibe didn't change and the music was great.

Good Techno Club and with live Djs performing, recommend if you like techno
Not your average club, this is a small intimate venue that caters to electronic music culture aficionados while providing a safe and inclusive space. Lots of nights featuring drum and bass, industrial techno, niche house djs etc. Bartenders are no bs, efficient and fast. Good security too, they have no tolerance for creeps!

What’s the Difference
One of the bartenders (can never remember the name……Is the earnest Hemingway of bartending....the one that’s there at night sometimes ) is extremely efficient at serving drinks in such a busy venue. Their signature drinks doesn’t exclude Red Bull or water. Pricey, but worth it. Long islands are great as well and they give out free water keeping patrons hydration and budget in mind while simultaneously prevents the attraction and prevalence of open air bottled water dealing which can lead to lemonade stands and even open open air alcohol vending like you see at questionable venues. This strategy ultimately increases sales. Brilliant
3rd best bartender in sf And Probably top 5th best bartender ever after….
-4. the bartender at the club down the street that looks identical -3. One of the blondes from coyote ugly -2. The real heavy weight champ. (also sf) who has to work from 6 to noon Sundays at this place that caters specifically for those who are too drunk to be admitted to 850 Bryant or Santa Rita -1. Moe sizlak from the simpsons, a jerk , but he always answers the phone when annoying people badger him and he knows how to perfect the greatest drink in the world-a pepto bismopolitan aka a pink Cadillac.(not to be confused with the inferior margarita that stole the name)
They don’t serve these here…yet
But you can always pink caddy pre game in one of the nearby alleys.
The art curator is also great at networking and great and helping struggling artists with “outgoing” personalities. They have good art at least 10 months every year , this year the Best periods to check out the art were January to early July and now (late August onwards)
Another great employee (I think the name starts with a B or a D, or a U or maybe a Y or maybe a silent Z) is the one who turns the lighting to the right setting
The employee with tattoos and is in there 30s is also extremely friendly
Theres another (god I’m Terrible with names ) who will actually go overboard to meet with people even if they have to wait , and take time away from their day off. This one really needs a raise.
And Mike the bouncer is great .
Then theres boss (this guy makes the studio 54 guys look like amateurs) he’s kind but he’s also a no nonsense guy. Rick James wouldn’t dare to even consider putting his clean slippers anywhere near any of the couches in here. Not the kinda guy who buys cheap flashlights at home debot on an ebt card.
He deserves 96 percent of the credit for keeping this place alive and well-and most important safe. Mike deserves at least 3 percent. Given the crowd the safety here is extremely keen. And a non issue. I’ve never seen any hazards any danger or any accidents or even spilled drinks in the bar. The crowd is welcoming.
I mean Once in awhile some idiot may fall over outside after hours but nothing to crazy. and , ya know , you do get ppl clearly looking for attention who wear silly attire like over dressed suits , excessive jewelry or boots that might not even be legal, but most of the denizens are very mature polite and responsible
I would highly recommend this venue (especially if u don’t have work Mondays and Thursdays
Give the boss big time props for hiring professionals like Mike and the other ones i mentioned previously.
Oh, there’s also music and a bunch of mirrors in the back that people stare into for non specific periods of time.
Great place! Always Tip all of the bartenders!

Too loud, good variety of events, always hot, drinks are average but bartenders are professional. Security does a great job. The prices are very fair and you can go in and out.
