Great atmosphere. The drinks are terrible. The bartender wasn't a friendly guy and can't mix a drink. We didnt finish our drinks and left. Won't be coming back.

Monday nights are motown. Demographics shift slightly year over year. Solid dj, really welcoming atmosphere. Best spot on a Monday in SF for dance.

I live in the neighborhood and have been coming to Madrone for years. The last time I went, probably 3 months ago now (which is how long it’s taken me to gather the courage to write this) it was a busy Saturday night & immediately after paying the cover & entering, a man in a beige suit sexually assaulted me. I was in shock, but my friend who was with me took me up to the bouncer to tell him what happened & get the patron who had assaulted me removed. The man was wearing a suit and sunglasses, so he was incredibly easy to point out on the security cameras, which I did. The bouncer said they’d handle it. I thought at the very least they’d refund my cover, which they didn’t. I waited in their outdoor area watching for the man to get kicked out for 30 minutes before I decided to leave. Nothing was done by the bouncer in that time. Some friends of mine stayed behind and said the man who assaulted me wasn’t removed until over an hour later, after he inappropriately touched several other women in the bar & a man finally yelled at the the bouncer to do something. I’m sure I wasn’t the only woman there who was assaulted & tried to get the bouncer to eject the creep. They didn’t take any action until a man asked them to. I haven’t been back since & won’t ever go back again. It’s a bummer because I had a lot of fun times at Madrone prior to this. Really disappointing handling of this situation.

This is a really fun place to go dancing. Drinks are normal fare but the interiors are lovely, as are the music / general vibes / even their band / musicians. Also apparently very fun on Mondays.

I've only visited after restaurant hours, so I haven't tried the food. The drinks are underwhelming for the price, and avoid the mocktails—they're just soda with syrup at the cost of a cocktail. The venue has a nice space for dancing, and arriving before 9 PM lets you skip the $10 entrance fee.

It looked fun, loved the bar and outdoor set up but too crowded. We couldn't hear or talk. Great music selection. I wish the venue was bigger. Definitely a popular place though! $5 per person to get in. I think we may just be a bit too introverted for it.

Madrone Art Bar we attended Fringe night, the glowing cat ears and the music with visuals was definitely a unique experience in a vast sea of options in San Franciscos nightlife. It was really fun dancing around inside the bar with friends and the outside smoking area was both perfect for chilling and meeting new friendly faces. I'm not sure about their other theme nights but I'm certain that I'll be back for Fringe night.
Super fun drinks and an amazing atmosphere! Really great vibes to dance to all night. Definitely recommend MOTOWN MONDAYS!

All the times I have been here have been after the restaurant hours, when the club starts going. So I have never tried their food. But the drinks definitely leave to be desired when compared to similarly priced drinks in other venues. Don't even dare try a mocktail, you'll be paying for the same price of a drink for some soda with syrup. The space itself is nice and can be a good spot to dance a bit. If you arrive before the party starts (usually starts at 9pm), you don't have to pay the $10 entrance fee.
Cool fun place.
