by Jennifer W. on Came here because a friend suggested going here for dinner (god knows why). So naturally I was expecting a restaurant since I didn't have time to rateclubs this place beforehand. Imagine my confusion when I'm trying to find my friends and they say, "Just keep walking past the bonfire to the dance floor"........... This place is basically a frat party on steroids on a boat. Went on a Saturday night and the place was pretty dirty and full of people that were trashed. There is a little shack where you order food and then you can just sit anywhere where there are empty seats. Food was okay (just bar food). Had a sirloin burger which was decent. They have good garlic fries ($4!). Drinks were pretty strong. The idea for this place is pretty creative (bar/restaurant on a boat/dock). Would come back during the day when it is nice and sunny. Would come back for the atmosphere and the company (my friends, not the drunk shirtless people running around everywhere). Rating this place as a restaurant I give it 3 stars.
by Lorenzo Mankin on I think maybe I wasn't drunk enough. I've only been to one venue that was as dark and humid as this was - an after-hours way down Potrero that had bleachers and a very androgynous clientele. While Cat Club 's patrons are easier on the eye, and generally happier, it it's hard to relax -you feel stifled, hemmed in, and a very long way from your next drink. And then there is the eighties music. At least at the after-hours, I had a great chat with a guy with a bamboo hat and a pink tutu named Chocolate, and got serenaded by a woman who, in the best rendering of Billie Holiday I've ever heard, lyrically invited me and my friend to gang-bang her. Ah SF, so full of opportunities!
