16 SF Bars Where You Can Dance

"Westwood is a Marina country bar, and if that wasn’t apparent, turn your head to the mechanical bull, "Howdy Y'all" sign, antler chandeliers, and a multitude of American flags. So feel free to pull out your square dancing skills on one of the two dance floors while taking in the unapologetic tribute to Americana. If country music isn’t actually your scene, the downstairs basement is where to be. There you’ll find a surprisingly large space where you can bop around with a group of 20-somethings who just moved to the city, and dance to Top 40, hip hop, and the occasional reggaeton song. The line to get in is always long, and you’ll likely have to brave a bouncer who always seems to be on the verge of asking, “Who do you know here?” But a trip to Westwood is still sometimes worth the messy journey." - ricky rodriguez
