by Eveline Bengston on While I like the fact that this club has a giant slide that you can use to go down into the dance area, I have a few main issues with Slide. PROS: -No cover CONS: -TOO crowded - Regardless of whether or not you go with bottle service/table or no table, it's ridiculously crowded. Be prepared to be stepped on, bumped into, and often trapped / unable to move. Why is Slide so small? Talk about an example of poor design and space usage for traffic flow. Dance vertically if possible, because you won't be able to move much in any direction. -TOO hot and sweaty (claustrophia much?) -Trying to get a drink at the bar is worse than trying to flag down a cab during rush hour at New York....be prepared to wait...and wait... -Music is less than stellar (too many mash-ups, not enough hip hop) -Bottle service is not cheap, compared to some other SF options Overall, the cons outweigh the pros. Slide can be fun once in awhile (a long while), but I wouldn't recommend it as a weekly staple. Tip: Be sure to wear tights with your skirt / dress if you plan to go down the slide. They won't let you go down otherwise!
by Flavia Wykle on If you're an 80's music fan and love cheap drinks, check this cool club out on Thursday nights. The DJs play all the beats from rock ballads that are great to groove too. Hence, it gets hot there and it's wiser to dance closer to the fans. However, the club in the back is much cooler if you like new wave music. Nonetheless, the bar in front is ready to quench your thirst and help give you a buzz as you watch the old MTV videos on the projection screen. Parking is ample on the street. Cover might be free before 10pm. If you're into lounging around with drinks and shaking your booty a bit, this crib is the place to play for all you cool cats.
by dav s. on The median would have to be 3 stars. A-OK for the food but excellent for the service. So in this probability theory -- 4 would be it but I am going to toss that theory out the door and give it 3.5 stars - which goes to show one that I'll never do well in Math. Like my previous review, you get 5 whoppin' stars for your stellar service but for food, you get 3 stars. 3 stars because I wish my fried chicken wasn't so burnt or perhaps, the oil should be changed. I felt I was in an upscale KFC with my side of mashed potatoes and coleslaw and I didn't get the biscuit or the cornbread. The catfish, I wished had more flavor, more seasoning, something cajun to remind me -- "that's the reason why I LOVED my catfish FRIED," but no, it was bland, no flavor - I tasted only the hot pipin' oil. I'll definitely come back for the show!
