Their music was so wonderful that they sold cds at the club/restaurant. Wonderful. To call Ajna disappointing is an understatement. Contrast with my recent late night experience at Lavo where they had an amazing DJ and while it was too loud to talk, it was great for dancing and not painfully loud (that is what I call "club-loud").
by Shayne Bacus on If I wasn't a female and had one of my friend know one of the owners, I would say this is a very hard club to get into. Cover's normally $20 and it's often g-list only nights here, but I've never had to pay once because we know Arash and the bouncers. It's usually pretty crowded here, and the crowded is very Marina-like. Music is fantastic, hiphop DJs with music video right in the center with tables on either end. Saw B.o.B. live here too, and a famous NBA player. Tables are hard to get, and they go fast. One of the newest clubs in SF, converted from the dying ghetto-asian club BOSS. Roomy around the 2 bars and drinks are good. Bathrooms are nasty though. There's even an area outside for smokers. Coat check is $2-3. Lots of pretty girls here!
by dan f. on You might be shocked at how scary this neighborhood is, but you have an oasis in the Rite-Aid. You are allowed to park there to eat at Tierra Colombiana and it's well-lit and safe. Just try not to appear too frightened as you cross from the parking lot into the restaurant. The place is huge, in the evenings it is a night club and you can hear the thumping music through the walls. It is always latin music however, so it fits. If you don't want that eat an earlier dinner. The Mojitos are AMAZING and the Cuban black beans are probably one of the most delicious foods I have ever had in my life. The chef has a secret recipe from Cuba that he supervises for those beans, and my God does it show. Skip the overly-fancy Alma de Cuba in downtown Philly and go here instead for real Cuban and Colombian food. The only negative mark I give the place is their Colombian Empanadas were not that great, everything else was amazing. Don't forget the real Colombian coffee before you go! They import the beans directly and grind them on the spot.
