The Best Clubs in San Francisco

Manor West

Located in SOMA (South of Market), Manor West is a great club to check out—especially if you're staying downtown at Parc 55 Wyndham. It's an easy cab ride, or if your shoes aren't too impossibly high, a good 15-minute walk.

Don't let the line dissuade you. Once you make it inside, the atmosphere is gorgeous. Great mood lighting keeps the vibe sexy, while the open floor design encourages a night of dancing you won't forget. If you go for bottle service, you'll have a chance to experience the specially designed VIP-booths, made for dancing on and behind.

Everyone at Manor West is dressed to impress, and the music channels current hits topping the charts. For a fun night out at one of the best clubs in San Francisco, head to Manor West, where the drinks are strong, the music is catchy, and the people are beautiful.

Harlot

Downtown on Minna Street, Harlot takes its name from interesting San Francisco history. During the Gold Rush, this area of the city apparently housed the ladies of the night, famous for giving comfort to lonely miners. Now, the vibe is definitely still sexy—but payment buys you entry into one of the best clubs in San Francisco.

Bottle service at Harlot is a classy affair. Dish out the big bucks for a spot in the exclusive upstairs room, painted white with risqué art on the walls, and a fireplace to keep the atmosphere hot. If you want to stay closer to the club, grab a spot at one of the tables downstairs and dance the night away.

A quick walk from the Grand Hyatt San Francisco, this hot joint is close to tons of fabulous restaurants and bars. So treat yourself to a night of glamour and fabulousness at the best places, including the best clubs in San Francisco.

The Cellar

Right on Sutter Street at Taylor, the Cellar is literally an underground club with unbeatable music and an eclectic crowd. With 3 bars, 2 dance floors, and 2 different DJs spinning, the Cellar is your one-stop Union Square party spot.

The best clubs in San Francisco know how to perfectly balance atmosphere, tunes, and the crowd. The Cellar wins in all three arenas. After you get below street-level, you'll enter the first of 2 dance floors. The music rotates depending on the night (check their website for the schedule), but you'll get hit with hip hop chart toppers, underground dubstep, house music, electronica, or 80's and 90's favorites.

Whatever the music blasting through the club, everyone will be dancing up a storm. Conveniently located close to Union Square and just blocks from the Clift Hotel, a Morgans Original, spend your night in splendid company at this engaging spot in downtown SF.

Vessel

Who would have thought an amazing club would be hidden below Niketown, in the heart of downtown San Francisco? Vessel is that spot. Its location, the internationally renowned DJs spinning, an awesome sound system, unparalleled lighting displays, and strong drinks make Vessel one of the best clubs in San Francisco any day of the week.

Of course weekends are the most crowded and generally have the best music, but if you're staying at the Sir Francis Drake only blocks away and you want to dance during the week, Vessel is the perfect place to go. With happy hour specials and a party that rages until the wee hours of the morning, it won't let you down regardless of the night you show up.

If you're looking for a super-chic night out, get their high-class bottle service and rest between songs on the Italian leather banquettes.
