The EndUp

I came here by chance. Had the fixed schedule next day but had no idea what I did. I took my friend who lived in Mountain View then. I was so glad to only see her again. We were good friends 5 years ago in Tokyo. But after the while, I was heard she moved to SF. I had have no idea I would meet her again, further in SF.

Didn't get to try the food because we ate before we got there. The drinks were heavy-handed and very tasty. The venue has two rooms and an outdoor area where you will find the grill and smokers.

This club is unethical and inhumane. They denied my friend water, which he desperately needed. While it’s not required by law, it would seem obvious to a bartender that someone in distress should be given water. The fact that they simply said no and moved onto the next customer shows how callous and selfish this place is. Bouncers were also aggressive towards us. You can hardly call them security guards with that level of unprofessionalism. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS.

Slid thru during Pride weekend. We had peoples in there with a table and the front door was on some real unhelpful type time. So be it we still got in despite the way entering the establishment went. The DJ was spinning hits.

The place has a weird energy especially from the staff. Close to impossible to get some drinking water from the bar, no eye contact. They just ignore you. I had to express my disappointment to the manager for him to bring me a bottle of water. But all of that could’ve been avoided with a simple water station.

We had a great time with our peps. Until some stupidass hoe come across my way stating drama out of nowhere. Then we get kick out. Socks.

Super dingy and not clean inside, and a little bit overpriced considering there was no one inside that night. Pretty empty, bouncers were nice though.

Worth place ever. They charge me 50 bucks for enter and $28 for 2 shitty drinks, which went straight into the trash after a sip. It was vodka and juice, but the vodka was some kind of bitter medical alcohol. And I'm Russian, I know what vodka is and I've been drinking vodka all my life. Minus 80 dollars for 3 minutes of being in that place. Just DON'T go there. It's some kind of robbery.!!!

The EndUP is traditionally an after hours dance club. It's the place to go after the bars close at 2am. The cover charge can be steep. The crowd is a mix of gay and strait. It features 2 bars. One in the front and one in the side. The bathrooms are small and trashy. The back patio is the oasis. Great place to cool off from dancing or mingle. At times they will have food for sale on the patio. The EndUP also has a coat check area and table service. Bartenders are average. At times they have drink specials. My favorite night to go is the monthly ShangriLa gay Asian dance party!

The venue is chaotic, the drinks are overpriced, and the music is lackluster. The security guards warned me that my phone and wallet could be stolen. I do not recommend this place.

Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!! Worst experience ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On a Sunday....... They said 30.00 cover charge for a rip off as it is..... And they just charged my account 41.40!!!!!!!!!!! Trust and believe, be aware! This place is not what used to be! Now I have to contact my bank!!!!! Thief's!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be aware!!!!!!!!!!!

Security employee here will make you feel uncomfortable from the first moment. treating you as if you were entering a penitentiary and were an inmate, instead of like a customer entering a nightclub. This place has a lot to learn about good manners. Absolutely NOT recommended!

WORSTTT CLUB EVER!!!! They are open til 6 am... we bought a 700 dollar bottle and were the only people there and they GRABBED our bottles from us at 2 am we were not told that they would take the liquor at 2 am DO NOT GET any bottle service here it's so ASS. Music was so awful, they did absolutely nothing with the bottle service just brought out bottles, we came for a birthday and they refused to do ANYTHING special for the bday i literally could not hate on this place enough.They all kept pushing the women in our group this place SUCKS

I like this vibe a lot low-key, & good drinks and there were a few baddies. What else can you ask for.

Great sound system! Top 3 sound system In San Francisco, must hear it to believe it. DJ s are top notch!

I went here this past weekend and got there right when the bar opened for an event. I went to the bathroom and there was no toilet covers or soap... and it JUST opened. There was barely anyone there and employees were just standing around. I let a bartender know (she had long curly black hair) about it and she said she'll let someone know. She obviously did not let someone know because maybe an hour or so later I had to use the bathroom again and they still didn't have soap!! There were a lot of people at the bar at that point so just imagine the disgusting germs that were everywhere.. so bottom line this place is gross and the employees need to be trained better

Jeremiah, security manager, didn't let my fiend in with her service animal, she epileptic. He said she couldn't bring her "pet" in. Very uneducated and unprofessional

I threw my birthday party here, and it was the absolute best decision ever. I booked it 4 months in advance and it was super easy to work with the owner. She made sure everything was ready, communication was smooth, and coordinated with the DJ and other services I had. The place is super big, and the whole staff made sure that the night was perfect.

I visited this venue tonight and had a truly disappointing experience. Upon entering, I observed the bouncer engaging in questionable practices, such as taking money from underage individuals and others without reason. Later, while simply trying to wish someone a happy birthday, I encountered a bouncer who seemed entirely disinterested in listening to any conversation. To my shock, he forcefully pushed me out and even resorted to physically assaulting me without any provocation. This level of aggression was unwarranted and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, I noticed people engaging in drug-related activities and using the same bathroom for such purposes. The atmosphere was chaotic, to say the least. What made this experience even more troubling was the apparent racism I encountered from the bouncer. No one should ever have to face discrimination in any establishment. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these issues promptly. My safety and the well-being of others should always be a top priority in any establishment because #us-embassy and #indianembassy will be added to twitter to review and this situation on twitter and there's going to be strict action on it . If they can't do anything there should be someone to handle situation for people who deserves to know the truth. They have cameras so I hope they look at it and address it soon.

It's an ok club. The vibe was great but the space is a bit awkward. The dance room is small and cramped.

I had a blast partying here on NYE ! This place stayed open till 6am the drinks were affordable. The service was a little slow due to all the people so you really have to know how to get the bartenders attention. The Ambiance was spacious I do wish there was more lights and affects ,it would have made it more exciting and enjoyable. But overall it was a cool spot!

The music was great by DJ Hawthorne! It was not crowded...I had a lot of fun dancing one of my favorite music ...

This is more of a negative 10 review but unfortunately 1 star is the lowest you can go. The dingiest worst bar environment I've ever been to. The crowd & atmosphere is just G H E T T O. The bouncers are rude and horrible also. Attended the Cozy day party- i tried to use the restroom around 7pm and bouncer A said the inside area is closed. Even though the restrooms were RIGHT behind him, he told me to enter from the other side. It was so difficult walking through the crowd. When the four women who were blocking the walkway were finally done dancing and there was room for me to squeeze through, bouncer B said the restrooms were CLOSED. I don't even think this is legal if they are still serving drinks and alcohol to deny customers of bathrooms. The place was still packed with customers too. It was the worst experience of my life and I will definitely report them for the bathroom issue. Do not ever recommend stepping foot into this place. It is worst than hell.

overpriced watered down vodka redbull??? how do you water down a drink that's just supposed to be vodka and redbull? 15 dollars for a tiny drink that did nothing?? no re-entry either felt like a trap security , bartenders , and staff were all hella mean too. Only thing that was good was the Djs shout out to them but this places suckssssss

The EndUP is dangerous. After throwing me out for unclear reasons, they refused to return my belongings. Security maced me for insisting they return them. Beware.

This club was soooo empty. Super long line, and $30 cover. Not worth it do not go here!!!

The smell was bad and customer service was horrible we waited 20 min no service just to get kicked out when we said something. I traveled from the central valley to this place.

This is the best dance club in San Francisco and I had a great time during Pride 2023. I will visit this place every time I come to the city.

"The place where everyone USED TO EndUp" In 2015, this was one of my favorite clubs. In 2017, this is now just a shadow of its former self. The EndUp has mainly suffered from increased competition in the after hours club market. Even just a few years ago, it was basically just this and a few illegal after hours clubs. And then after the illegal ones (surprisingly!) got shut down, it was basically just this. Nowadays a lot of the hottest clubs in SOMA have extended their hours (Temple till 4, 1015 till 3). So it's way easier for people to just stay there the whole night instead of coming here and paying two entrance fees. Historically The EndUp has always been a gay club and now that there are more options for everyone it's back to mainly being a gay club again. Other than that, expect a few tourists as well (with its 40 year history, I'm sure this is floating around in some ancient San Francisco guide books). The music is just as old as the club. Mainly techno. Think late 90s with a guy in black JNCO jeans and a glow stick (can't guarantee that guy will be there, but the music will be). Entry is about $25 and they serve Gatorade, Red Bull, and water. Some areas are closed off depending on how many people are there. Outdoor area is decent. Bathroom is a trough. Protip: Just stay at one of the clubs you're already at.

One time I was so fucked up at the End Up. Someone stole my Louis Vuitton back pack. The most fucked up thing was that it was the head security of the club who stole it. Severy people told me they saw what happened and I even got it confirmed. Yes, the people whose job was to protect their patrons stole from the guy who went there every weekend for years and treated them like friends. Guess what? Ynez the owner knows about it. Did nothing about it. The guy continued to work there for more than a year later without any repercussion. I never got my backpack back, not even an apology from the owner. That's why the End Up is not gonna stay around anytime soon. You're welcome to go to a place where security steals from you and the owner condoned that behavior. Have fun supporting that shady business!

Iconic. But bottle service?! Sounds as if the EndUp has gotten a bit bougie in the last decades. But. It's truly hilarious and exhilarating reading the pansy ass reviews left by millennials and other squares being spooked as fuck by this classic after hours/early morning spot. So I guess it's retained some of the original grit... Bless.

I have been going here since 1992, yup 1992 i was 14 yup..... I came out in this club traditionally a gay club i find it funny the stuck up assholes who dont understand what this place is about. they need to make it back into what it was when al and helmut owned the place. make it only gay , and local.

If I could put 0 stars on this venue I would. The music and sound quality is good I'll give you that. However the way the security is, is SUPER unacceptable and disrespectful and clearly don't care about women. I was at the EndUp tonight exited to bring my friends along and have a good time. I personally witnessed complete assault on a woman. This first part I admit I did not see with my own eyes. From what I heard there was a woman trying to dance on a security guard. From what I remember, tall about 250+lb man with a gray beard(it was dark so this description could be a little inaccurate). I started paying attention once this guard sucker punched this woman in her face in front of the DJ booth. I admit, if he didn't want that to happen he could've told her in a respectful way to get off and not touch him. BUT HE DIDNT. HE BEAT HER TO THE GROUND!!! A man literally 3x her size!!!! She fell to the floor after he hit her and I lent her my arm to help her up. After that she was knocked to the ground again by the same guy. Once she was on the ground, not even defending herself or hitting him back, he kept attacking her over and over. Punching her in her head and face. Even with some people trying to stop him he went through them and kept hitting her over and over while SHE WAS STILL ON THE GROUND TRYING TO COVER HER HEAD AND FACE!!! My friend was holding me back or I would've entered the situation, but as she was on the ground I watched him punch her over and over and I was screaming at him to stop. He hit her at least 3-4 times AFTER THAT, and these were PUNCHES, not just hitting her but trying to knock her out. She got up and tried to exit the venue to get away from him, but even still he threw her against the wall and tried to hit her again as she was leaving. Not even 10min later I see police officers outside. Not sure what was going on after that but they were out there for about 30-45min. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! EndUp you really should reevaluate the people you hire and I hope karma comes back around to this man. He should be FIRED and CHARGED!!! My heart goes out to the woman involved and I hope she is okay. End of story, we will never be going to this venue ever again due to this. Have more respect.

This review is long over due. Old stomping grounds and I was reunited recently to see Nio Garcia. I really like what they have done with the place and all the renovations/ art work they put up. I always hear about the Poppin Sundaze they have and how I should come back. After this night seeing Nio definitely want to come back. The weather is getting nicer and what better place to be but in the city hanging with friends at a great location with good music and drinks. Only thing I would change is adding more bathrooms. Shout out to the Endup for the best parties and great musical artist!

Decent day club if you love ratchet music, and even more ratchet people. Drinks are way overpriced. I put myself and my friends on the waitlist and once we got there we had to get in separate lines (guys and girls) come to find out my guy friend ended up paying $20 cover charge even though he was on my list and on time! And it was his birthday. The place can get pretty packed on Sundaze especially if there is a special guest. Parking is pretty tough if you are driving.

What. The eff. Was that. OK. Granted we showed up at 2:30am. But when we searched for bars still open and this was just a few blocks away, we figured why not give it a shot? I don't think I ever need to return to this creepy, creepy place but I'm happy that I got to see it with my own eyes. Let's be real: this place sure seems like some kind of drug den. The place was very sparsely populated with all sorts of folks. From drag queens to bikers, it was definitely a SF melting pot. I'd say I wished I had some of whatever the people on the dance floor had taken, but I'm actually kind of scared to learn what it was. Nobody really dancing with anybody else, just all in their own little worlds, shuffling around (kinda) to the beat. 5 star people watching, that's for sure. Plus everybody in the bathrooms had a serious case of the sniffles. If the dance floor's not your thing, there's a big patio out back. It's really strange (a theme for this place) with a super-chlorinated waterfall. Not sure why, but hey... not sure why not either so let's just run with it. I get the impression that this place is a different vibe if you go during the day or at a more reasonable evening hour. But for after hours? This place is a hot mess.

$30 entrance fee on a Saturday at 3AM. Wanted to extend my Friday night party session into the early hours Saturday morning and I heard there is one spot in the city that people go after hours. Stood in line with the rest of the drunk people, got to the front and was required to pay a $30 entrance fee! I know California stops selling liquor around 2AM so I wasn't expecting to get any drinks inside but I also wasn't expecting to pay that much to get in. At least give me a drink ticket for a bottle of water or something. Geez If it were $20, I'd be more tolerant. 3 stars because they didn't really do anything spectacular other than be open when everyone else is closed.

This was one of my first times going out in SF and needless to say it was a TERRIBLE experience. The security staff is some of the worst I have ever dealt with in my entire life. First of all they advertise free before 3pm but that's far from the truth you will end up paying $30 if you're female. They are literally looking for ways to not let you in or kick you out once you are in. I am 5'3 and 120lbs. I was physically pushed and yelled at by the security staff. I could understand if I was causing a problem but I wasn't doing anything just trying to find my jacket that I had set down at my friends table that she paid $$ for. I don't like to assume but they were definitely letting some ppl in more than others. Even though my friend payed for a table we still had a hard time getting into an establishment that we were giving money to. Ps. We are Black women and I completely felt discriminated against and like I was dealing with the police. Please throw away your entire staff and shut down the place. That's it. Thank you

A waste of time. The ticket request that patrons arrive before 11pm. Upon arrival (10:20pm) there was one couple and myself outside along with a bias bouncer acting like an Asshole. He seemed a bit bitter ( with what appeared to be a hispanic male version of a "resting bitch face"). He stated that "No one is here yet and they are running late". I emphasis bias because of his selective choice to "pat-down" and let the couple's into the empty club to stay warm, while telling me to wait outside in the cold rain. Apparently standing in the door way to avoid the cold is an issue. Needless to say, Uber took me to a much better club around the corner in less than 6 minutes...

I tried to go here after the club closed at 2 AM that my friends and I were hanging out at. We stood in line forever, and were finally reaching (near) the door when I felt my foot kick something. It was an empty PLASTIC Ocean Spray bottle that someone had left on the sidewalk. It bumped the foot of a fat-buff (you know the type) guy standing on the other side of the rope barrier. He looked up at me like I'd slapped his mother. I said, "Oops. That was an accident." He said coldly, "Pick it up." I said, "Oh no, that's not mine. I just accidentally kicked it as the line moved." Again, he said, "Pick it up." I felt like a prisoner on a chain gang, being abused simply because the guard was bored. I said, "Fuck that. It's somebody else's trash." He opened the barrier rope and said, "Fuck that? Fuck YOU! Get out of the line," and then he grabbed me by the waist and shoved me out of the line. I couldn't believe it! My friend behind me (who's Hispanic, bald, and covered in tattoos) said, "Why you gotta do that? Cuz he won't pick up trash?" Then the guy opened the barricade rope again and ASKED him (too scared to grab, or is that reserved for older White guys) if he wanted to leave the line. (I guess HE got a choice?) My friend left the line with me, of course. So, I can't tell you what the club is like. I can only tell you that their "security" is apparently asshole central.

TWO BAR AREAS & OUTDOOR LOUNGES! The End Up is one of the oldest clubs in San Francisco so I was told. Man - this is the hangout after last call for alcohol and they usually have a LONG line outside after 2AM! Different venues during the weekend here rents their space and so you have to check what nights are what. I think for the most part on Saturdays it has always been a mix crowd. I grew up in San Francisco so if you're open to that and you're cool with the great diversity the city offers - you'll fit right in. Plus - you get to meet really cool people too! One aspect I like about The End Up is their outdoor lounges. They have spent I think a few dollars to rev it up and make it more comfortable. They even added a heater so on cold days you can still enjoy conversations with friends or sipping your martinis! They also have two bars for you to order your drinks. It's nice because during the wekened - it gets pretty packed and that really helps cuts time in half! There are plenty of street parking but watch the signs for street cleaning as San Francisco is notorious for giving tickets!

This is terrible im still in line on 2018-12-30. I cant believe in still in line women are let in more quickly which I guess is great and sexist. There are tons of people but I've been here since 2 and its 4 PM now. This place is supposed to be equal and its lopsided I don't know what it's like on the inside im still outside

I have been to the Endup a million times. So much to say about it. Wanna party hard and party all weekend? Hello Endup! Only bad thing about this club is it tends to attract crystal meth abusers. The club is a bit beat up also, like some of the patrons, lol. Also, watch out for the girls there...a lot of them used to be boys. Trust me on this one. Unless you like that, then go for it. I have seen a few straight boys go there and later find out the girl they are dating. etc., is transsexual. I actually saw a few fights there before, but not too many, It's usually pretty safe. Once or twice there was a dead body behind the club (no joke), but that's not the club's fault. Just say no to injecting meth people. The lights and the sound system at the Endup are amazing. The bass from the sound system hits just the right notes. The club is amazing on a Sunday morning, afternoon, or night. Check it out. Even with the flaws, i still give the club 5 stars. The drinks are overpriced and the cover is usually higher than it should be, but what can you do. That just leaves the people there who really love the club. Everyone can use some Endup in their lives in moderation. Just don't get sucked into substance abuse and be careful of the people you meet, and you will be fine. Also the staff and security here are really friendly and nice. I love that. Good vibes.

My friends and I try going in to end up but they are tourist here and they would not check their countries ID , the security said they have to have California IDs but obviously they did not have one I asked to talk to management and security was being disrespectful and saying to go somewhere else. What kind of business is this ?

This was my first time at the EndUp on a Saturday night. We asked the bouncers if it was a good time inside and they said yes. We paid $20 for the cover and it's more empty than my bank acc (and I'm a college student). Never going back.

If I could give this place 10 stars but I can only give it five...! Bartenders the Dj kept a good vibe going!!! Definitely back when I swing through the bay

Came here today for a day party. Service was amazing and the workers are super friendly. The coke and henny was pretty strong. $10 minimum for drinks with credit card. They also sell $5 pizza slice Shoutout to Milton for paying attention to me and my friends! And Jose one of the co-owners was also very accommodating The lounge area is super chill and comfy, right in front of the tv The outdoor patio gives it a backyard feel. Will come back again!! Amazing service

People Know this place is an end up after party place to go,mix crowds lesbian and gay all here to have fun ,no offense.music needs to be more modern DJ is ok sometimes,most time is house and some trap.place is good,but bathroom is too small and it's a shared bath tub toilet.bar is good.im gave 3 stars cuz it's music and bathroom.it has two different rooms although they play different music!!it definitely needs to play some good music!!

I did not go to the end up since the pandemic hit, i showed up tonight we paid 25$ each to get in. It was baaaaad couple people inside the service was horrible. In some ways i felt bad for the endup, back in the days use to be packed and so much fun in it. One of our buddies stepped at the door looking for us and the door man started acting you gotta pay one more time to get back in and it was clear if he gave him couple bucks he would let him get back in , but the dude was yelling you gotta pay again to get in. You re hilarious dude there was 5 people in the club usually doormen they do have attitude and use their power in successful clubs that are always packed .Hey end up you will not make money this way , this is not the way you gotta make business. The business is already dead and with this behavior you ll make it worse. Buddy (doorman) we will never come back i hope your boss will give you a raise to try to act like a d . End up great job you re hiring smart people that will make the business back again. I have been clubbing in midway and public works and 1015 folsom they do have nice parties , packed with ppl , and doorman doing their job not using their door power for childish behavior :)

Had a guest from NYC. Paid the cover for everyone at 1:59. They wouldn't serve drinks after 2, so we left immediately. Sober, we politely asked the manager to refund our cover, and they refused. Would have been great to at least had a warning at the door. $60 for 90 seconds. Absolutely, definitively, will not return, and will ensure anyone visiting will never end up at the EndUp.

They tried to hold up the line so that they could charge for $20 cover after 11 pm. This is what it looked like when i got in. Empty. Very very bad business. I would think twice before coming back

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING HERE!! My friends and I are visiting for Pride week and came across this club. Went with a group of friends to this club and one of my friends had shorts on. We were unaware of the dress code and hadn't read anything about it online. We were told he couldn't get in because of his attire and completely understood. With no fuse at all, in front of the club, we quickly looked for another place to hang for the night. As we were leaving, one of the 5 bouncers outside stated to another "we should let them in, no one is barely here" and they decided they would make an "exception" if we all wanted to come in. As we were walking in, one of my friends who were still outside decided we would go elsewhere last minute and as we were leaving we noticed that one of our other friends seem to have paid $20 for the cover already. He stated to the young lady behind the glass that we were no longer walking in and when he asked to retrieve his $20 back, she responds by pointing at a sign that states "NO REFUNDS". Neither me or my 5 friends that were with me even know what the inside of this club looks like. When he put the money on the counter, we changed our mind and within that split second, she wouldn't return the cash to my friend at all. I explain this only because I don't believe this is how this business is truly run. I don't believe per some reviews that I've read that this is a money-hungry company taking whatever change they can from people visiting from another state. I believe and completely understand the attire issue, which is why we wanted to go elsewhere, however, I don't believe taking $20 from someone to make the amount needed for the night was right. The young lady behind the glass was quite disrespectful, and even when one of the bouncers themselves stated to give us the money back and even attempted to talk her into giving us the money back, she didn't budge. I'm really disappointed as most of us in this group had never been to San Francisco and this would be the FIRST club we had been to ever here. It was quite disappointing and upsetting to everyone and I really hope if anyone thinks to try this place out, to think about this story before going.

DO NOT "END UP" HERE!!!!!!!!! After coming from an awesome concert me and my group of friends decided we wanted to go out for drinks and dancing. We headed to The EndUp and proceeded to head in. The bouncer rudely told my friend that he was wearing shorts and couldn't come in. So we proceeded to go somewhere else. After walking away they called us back and said they can make an exception. My friend gets to the window and put $20 on the counter. After seeing that the cover was pretty steep we decided not to go in. My friend was still standing at the window and never stepped a foot into the club. He proceeded to ask that his $20 be returned being that we had not even left the window. The extremely rude and nasty woman loudly told us "No refunds and your not getting your money back!" Mind you I don't even know what the inside of this place looks like! A bouncer stepped in and pleaded to the rude lady to please return the money because we had not entered. She was even nasty to him saying "No I'm not giving there money back it's no refunds!" We did the professional thing and just left without causing a huge scene. I will be calling the manager of this establishment and telling them about our awful experience.

Fucking awesome Halloween get together ! Great music to be your own persona ! Loveee, love , love

I rather give the place a zero star if I could! It's filthy, dirty and trashy, and the security is the worst, GREEDY and extremely rude. Not worth to waste a penny to this place, yike! There're much better clubs than this dump nearby, and cost less.

Unfortunately this was the worst experience !!! Their security guards allowed me to step out with my gals and promised I could get back in and then acted stupid l!!! When I came back they didn't let me back in although I had a stamp . Not worth your money they are full of crap with some empty headed bouncers that don't keep their words "Alex and John "supposedly they probably gave me fake names didn't even know club policies around us stepping out with our stamps they were acting dumb about it. This whole situation frustrated me because all I was trying to do was have a great night but here they go acting stupid when I paid my cover and got a damn STAMP ! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CLUB NOT WORTH IT .

So I have been here for the nightclub and for the Day Party, and both times have been R A T C H E T. For the Day Party, the front desk women were rude af. I wish they knew that if they smiled it would make them look 100000x better. The music is great! Hip hop and of course Bay slaps! The drinks are overpriced. A beer is around $7 and a shot is around $11 (of course depending on the brand.) I would recommend coming here if you are young, ratchet, and just got paid!
