by Bart Nesseth on My first gay bar experience and it was wonderful. Place is hella packed on saturday night with a lot of hot guys. Clean bathrooms and the wait at the bar isn't too long. Cover is $5 which is totally cheap for sf. However, bouncer informed us that they did not have change for $20. Something makes me not want to believe that.
by Brandon Arana on Unfortunately my experience at Ecco was not so great. After my friends and I planned and reserved a table at this establishment, we waited in line for at least 20 mins to first be told that they weren't letting anymore people in even though groups of people were continuing to walk through the rope in front of us. My friend who had already been waiting inside at our table even came out with the promotor who invited us to try and resolve the situation but no budge. Finally the truth came out! The main promotor told our girlfriend that they weren't letting anymore black women in for the night and to not get offended, it's just the business(mind you we came with a predominately Caucasian group and me and one other girl is african american). Our friend angrily stormed out and updated us on why we couldn't enter their establishment as a paying patron. The main promotor noticed our friend was telling us the situation and after whispering amongst her colleagues quickly changed her tune and tried to wave us back with open arms. At this point my other black friend and I were so offended that the thought of stepping into that place was not even close to an option. I just wanted to get the word out to everyone!! I'm not sure if it's the establishment itself or that individual promotor that practices such ignorance but I was very displeased to say the least!
by Andre L. on If you're not doing bottle service, dont bother! This club is actually still hip granted it has lost some of its "exclusivity." Both floors are always packed and the music is always good. The bouncers will show you love if you're a regular or show up with a few girls. I try to avoid party row but if you are stuck on 27th street, this or Suzie Wong is the way to go!
