by Bradly Marrow on I'm never quite sure what to think of 40C (or maybe Hacienda, as it was called briefly...I think?) when I go there. Most of the bartenders are cool, the primary bouncer is cool...the crowd can vary; and that's an understatement. Trash or whatever you want to call it is "interesting," and when you've been on your feet for 12 hours and you walk through the door to a place you used to enjoy sitting in the corner and talking to the owner or one of the bartenders to see a guy in short-shorts dancing on the bar, its a bit of a shock to the system. I'm also not too fond of the chick who dances on the bar...and over peoples drinks. Especially when I'm tried and play the "where is going to put her foot down next?" game. Having your drink kicked over by a clueless bar dancer is not high on my list of enjoyable activities. Nonetheless, I'm a fan of 40C. The music is almost always great, the people cool and the drinks are strong. You can get yourself a booth if one's available, there's a back room that when its not being rented out serves as a kanoodling space and also hides a third bathroom that's easier to get into than waiting for the main one's on the dancefloor.
by Garth Mcguirl on None of the reviews so far mention that this place is owned and run by Jamie Zawinski (usually referred to as "jwz"), who was at Netscape before it was called Netscape. He also started the Mozilla project that eventually produced the Firefox web browser (although he left the project before it saw much success to cash out). That explains the web terminals you see around this club, and why they will never, ever run Microsoft Internet Explorer. Your experience at this club will vary greatly by what night you go, you have a standard hip-hop/techno dance club experience that dozens of other clubs have, or you could end up watching circus perfomers in fetish gear doing acrobatics and other experimental acts. I get the impression that jwz endures the former so he has a chance to provide a venue for the latter, because there aren't many venues out there for it.
by Kate E. on Let's talk. It is overwhelmingly pompous. The matire'd was STUNNING in his general air of "asshole." The bar was empty, because we were forced into such an early reservation. I refused to stare at any patrons and act as if I have remotely gave a crap about how the looked, what (who?) they were wearing, etc. But, here's what happened. Our waitstaff was competent, efficient, and totally humorless (I guess some people are into that?). The saving grace was the food, which I thought was excellent, particularly the appetizers. Standouts include: chicken salad (seriously), chicken samaosas, pork potstickers, coconut shrimp, vegetable chow fun (outstanding), and crispy curry chicken. Drinks are weak and overprices. Go for the food and screw everything else.
