by Kelly N. on Cool ambiance, nice French dude behind the bar, and some interesting wines. Definitely a nice, different option for when you're in the Castro, or when Swirl on Castro is closed later in the night. Overall, prices are ok, taking San Franflation into account. The 10oz. (2 glass) carafe of house red for $7 was actually pretty decent and not a bad value at all. Several $4 apps also a good option for some nibbles with your tipples and they have some cheese plates, salads, and more if you wanna throw down some dollbills. Plus, they have legit coffee and beer (Stella, Hoegaarden, and Leffe(!)) and always offer water, which is nice. Oh, and live music sometimes. Service was a little slow (there was a big private party, 1 guy to take all the orders, and for some reason it was packed on a Weds. night), but still friendly.
by Shera Avellar on Gloria Ferrer Brut is a girl's best friend! * * _* *_ *Clinky* | * | | * | *Clinky* | _ | | _ | \ * / \ * / | | _|_ _|_ Bubble Lounge has a little something for everyone, what with its swanky lounge upstairs, its barrel-vaulted dance cellar downstairs, its plethora of bars and its list of champagne by the glass. Drinks are a little on the expensive side but there was no cover charge when I went so an extra $2-3 for a flute doesn't seem that outrageous. Plus it's champagne! Let the bubbles soothe your wallet woes... I almost reserved a table here for my b~day but their strange "per person" $30 minimum scared me a bit. Ya know, in case I had dozens of adoring fans casually dropping by the table that just wanted to give me a b~day kiss and enjoy one glass of bubbly? All the sudden a party of 15 can turn into a party of 30...and a $900 tab. Nevertheless, I would consider Bubble Lounge for a party again in the future.
by Jenn T. on If you love to listen to soulful gospel-y deep house on Sundays then you must go to Deep at the Vanguard. What better reason to go into work early Monday morning sore as hell but listening to the sweet sweet sounds of large ex-choir women ringing in your head. Deep has doubled its crowd since it's move this past year to Club Vanguard. Its previous home was a one-story beaten down garage sized club with a muffled echo-y sound system who did not do DJ Marques Wyatt (birth-giver of Deep House music to Los Angeles) and his brand name house DJ headlines like Masters at Work, Timmy Regisford, Roy Davis Jr. etc. If you can't shake off the rest of the weekend till you get your last groove in on a Sunday night, you need to be there.
