Better than NYC Mexican food, but doesn't stand out amidst a ton of other good options in SF. Chilayo, anyone? I DO, however, like the location of this place on Polk Street, a stone's throw from the Bucc, Cresta's, and other bars that don't serve food. The only problem is that you walk into a bar with something from Nick's and a swarm of hungry drunk people will suddenly line up to be your best friend.

Let me start off by saying that I have been a patron of this venue since 2004. After my last experience seeing Bonobo there a few weeks ago, I am now hesitant to ever return. A few years back the Glitch Mob played here and the club packed it in to double the capacity of the club. Then they apologized because of so many complaints and undersold the next show there to make up for it. The Bonobo show displayed the club's carelessness for people's experiences. How am I supposed to enjoy the show if i cant even move? Those tickets were expensive too, I think we deserve a minimum amount of space. Plus what would the fire marshall say? And I have seen people faint before at concerts. If that had happened, there would have been no way to help someone quickly with the way that club was packed. Its cap is at 500, yet they manage to let pepole in even though the show was sold out 300 people ago...i just dont get. Well, maybe i do, thats another $1000. End Rant.

I like the warehouse feel. And the well drinks are surprisingly strong. But it's lacking something. I don't know what though and, because of this mysterious something, I feel compelled to only give it three stars. Maybe it's the super sketch alley you have to walk through to get there or the horribly loud music. It really bothers me and I do bring earplugs most nights, but why should I have to? *Warning: Ranting Tangent* I don't fucking get this whole music-has-to-blow-your-eardrums-out-to-be-good thing. Seriously, I don't want to have permanent damage to my ears just because some club owners think that their club will be cooler when you can't think. I don't mind it being loud and I really like the feeling of being caught up in the magic of the night (super cheese) and sometimes I really don't want to talk to the person next to me. So loud music = ok, but super loud "ouch, my eardrum just popped" music is not ok. It doesn't make it sound better and it makes me want to leave. Plus, I usually go to a club or concert with people I actually like and want to talk to, not scream at. So...3 stars for causing me to rant excessively.

Never had a bad time here. Never had a great time here. The more messed up you are, the more entertaining it becomes. Dancing girls under blacklights, dance offs, stiff drinks. I'm not that big of a clubby guy, but it's all right.
