by Tiffany C. on DON'T GO HERE!!!! When I was first reading other Ratecluber's comments, I couldn't figure out what people meant by saying that they were trying to be so LA. Now I know... I've never experienced a venue this pretentious in SF. I came here with my friends because my cousin was having a bday party and I was with a group of 5 girls and 1 guy and the bouncer was basically like we'll let all the girls in but not the guy. what? Seriously? My cousin and her friends even had bottle service and they were willing to treat their guest that poorly. It was ridiculous. I could understand if the venue was super crowded or if the bouncer (a tall white guy with glasses who was a complete A--hole) made us wait in line for a while but to completely deny entry based on gender? My cousin was completely stressed out because all her friends are calling her and saying they're getting denied entry etc. Is that any way for a venue to treat their customers? My friend heard people coming out and complaining that there wasn't anyone inside anyways. If you do have the unfortunate luck of having to come to Harlot for some reason, come from second street because the other way is down a bum infested alley. I will never go back here again.
by scott k. on Dance club? That's not a dance club... thiiiis, is a dance club! (Clubs you over the head!) I have to admit... I was shocked that there was a little L.A. style club next to the place we just got 20 cent wings from! Atlanta does that to you. City planning was clearly not a priority. I've stopped asking "why" now, and just go with with the flow! You have to! And thanks to people like Kit (walked us right in) the flow can be pretty damn smooth! The space itself is impressive architecturally, and I love dance music, so I really wanted to move it after a couple of drinks! Sadly... really sadly... there wasn't a dance floor to speak of! It's a lounge... so sad. If it had a decent sized dance floor this would be my spot to go nuts at! Pounding lights, beautiful people, deep thundering music that makes your ass move! Talking would be almost as impossible as dancing was... and you know what that means kids... Have no illusions, Halo is a pick up bar. A place where you come to see and be seen. Not that there's anything wrong with that... I just prefer something a lot more... um... raw!
by Thurman Goldwyn on What to say that hasn't already been said? I was brought here at the end of a very long night so my memories are a big foggy, but I think it might have worked in may favor. Last thing I remember are tubesock tittays and a droopy 'sideways smile' on what had to be a 60 year-old woman. All in all, I've never laughed so hard in my goddamn life. Then again, I have a really dark and twisted sense of humor. This place is definitely not for the faint of heart...
