DNA Lounge
The Verdict
"Check the calendar before you go. The programming changes nightly and the vibe shifts completely depending on the event. DNA Pizza next door is the late-night food move."
What you need to know
The drinks
Full bars throughout the venue. Standard club pricing. DNA Pizza operates next door and serves until late, which solves the 1am hunger problem that most nightclubs ignore.
The space
Industrial SoMa aesthetic: dark, loud when the music’s going, and built to hold a crowd. The multiple rooms mean you can find a quieter corner if the main floor is too much. The sound system has been voted best in the city by SF Weekly.
Practical info
Cover varies by event, typically $10 to $25, with some free nights. Check the calendar on dnalounge.com; programming changes nightly. At 375 11th Street in SoMa, between Harrison and Folsom. The 12 Folsom Muni bus runs nearby. Civic Center BART is about a 15-minute walk. Rideshare is the most practical option late at night.
