This bearded guy working the door insisted on taking a picture of me just to come in because he's "had some bad apples lately" despite my providing two forms of government issued id, my drivers license and passport card, to which he said if I didn't let him take a picture of me I'd be denied entry.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I got kicked out because I was squatting to fix the damn toilet dispenser. I was mistaken for whoever was doing illegal drugs in the bathroom. Who is going to sit on a BAR TOILET SEAT with a BARE BOTTOM. Like HUH? Does that make any sense?? One of the security’s kept banging on the stall door like I was doing something wrong by covering the toilet seat with TOILET PAPER. Yeah MASON im talking about YOU! When the toilet paper got stuck and couldn’t come out any more, I had to squat to FIX the dispenser. How about asking me BEFORE ASSUMING. Make sure you piss elsewhere or you’ll get kicked out for covering a toilet seat! And fix your toilet dispenser or invest in TOILET SEAT COVERSso people like me WONT HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR YOU. I’d choose to go THE CAFE down the street from here if I were you! I’m NEVER returning here again.

The best place to go and dance in SF, they play music you actually want to dance and sing along to! Beware, no water freely available at the bar to help yourself which is very disappointing. It also gets quite crowded. The bag check is cheap and fantastic too!

They don't sell food but you are allow to bring food to eat there while you are enjoying drinks and draqueen shows it is very fun there.

Fun spot to meet friends for drinks!

Want to dance the night away without any other expectations? Badlands is your spot. Are the bartenders friendly? Does the place have class? Nope and

Had so much fun dancing all night with my Boyfriend. Place was packed but really nice. Staff really
Was pickpocketed and phone stolen. Be careful here. Bouncer was very rude

I seriously don’t know why people line up to get into this place and pay $15 for literally no space to dance, jukebox music, and bad drinks. Before it closed up it was widely known for its crazy pickpocketing. Well, it’s here again. Last night, I sadly made the decision to go here and had my phone stolen from my pocket with cards and ID on it. I was inside for less than 15 minutes. Be careful with your belongings and aware of your surroundings if you go to Ratlands.

This club has always been seedy but tonight was another level. I was waiting for my ride and a man came over from the parking lot across the street claiming to be my uber driver, though I had not ordered an uber. He was trying to convince me to come to the parking lot with him and I yelled at him to go away. The badlands bouncer watched all of this happen and did nothing. I reported this to the bouncer after it happened because I was worried about it happening to other people, and the bouncer told me there was nothing he could do. This club clearly does not care about what happens to its patrons. Besides this incident, I've had friends get pick pocketed in this club multiple times. And the music is trash - all pop from 15 years ago with terrible transitions. Just all around a terrible spot, if you're looking for a gay club in sf you're better off at toad hall or oasis.
