Editorial Review for 1015 Folsom – by Joanna Currier

In Short
Four dance floors fill this three-story, state-of-the-art South of Market mecca, where crowds usually hit capacity on Friday and Saturday nights. High-ranking international and local DJs switch up the energy from room to room--a swank upstairs floor and VIP terrace; main dance floor with four huge projection screens and liquid, LED-lit "waterfall wall;" sexy dance lounge with a low, cut-out ceiling illuminated by special effects; and large basement dance floor encircled with high-backed red vinyl booths.

Me and a couple of my friends went there on a Saturday night to watch DJ Paul Van Dyk play. Anyway, we got bottle service and a table, we went to the main area for a bit and came back. A bunch of guys had taken over our table, and when we tried to go and sit there, they threatened us and pushed us out. When we called security, they did nothing about it. The guys who threatened us were still there, and we decided to leave. Point is, if you want to get your money's worth, do NOT go there. Gangs and other questionable characters hang out there, and security does nothing about it.

Pros: Good Music, Choices

Cons: Bad security, bad clientele, not friendly

many, many years ago 1015 was known as "martinis" and was considered THE place to be. it had an underground but hip vibe to it. i can even remember the lines to get in would wrap around the block....and that was b4 the doors even opened (they also had a "velvet rope" policy). fast forward a couple decades and although we now have a much renuvated venue and better sound systems...the majority of the clientele are...questionable. to prove a point, i believe it's the only BIG s.f. (mostly) dance venue that pats you down and uses a metal detector. more has been improved to keep out the undesirables like better lighting (it was WAY too dark in some parts of the different rooms) and even more renovations but they really need to keep radio hip hop outa there and change up the constant trance in the main room (all that trendy hyphy stuff keeps bringing in the unclassy wannabes and the trancey junk always brings in the tweakers).

Pros: multiple rooms, lots of room to dance

Cons: too much trance, TOO much hyphy/crunk hip hop, trendy people but in a bad way
