      Temple is a fun nightlife event. I enjoy great music & positive vibes. Securities are always on top of everything making it a safe venue. Meanwhile, in the bar, Jessica, Chad, Katie, Caroline & Rob are really attentive & enthusiastic. They have real passion for what they do & they make drinks according to the standards. They also make the bar fun and alive! I recommend them to you new comers

      Hadn't been there since 2017 but I moved back into the area and checked it out on Pride weekend. Its different. No longer sells food. Still has 3 bar area opens and vip on main floor when you come in. Basement floor is closed now but rear outside area is open. Bartenders were nice and quick. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. They played edm throwbacks to 2010 which I loved! Not too crowded earlier in the night. They have bottle girls. Its open til 2 am now not 4 am like before. They let us in free since we got there early around 11:30 pm.

      I had a great experience at Temple recently with a bunch of friends on 5/25, which was allegedly their last day open according to SF news sources. I found out on that night from staff, however, that it wasn't their last night and they're still open. Having recently moved to SF from the LA metropolitan area, I was super impressed by the venue. It is way nicer and larger than any of the LA clubs I've been to in Ktown and Hollywood. I certainly hope it stays open because places like this make me want to go out every weekend.

      the music was iffy so check whose DJ'ing to make sure it's your music taste! the bartenders were so nice and very quick with their drinks. lots of room to dance so bring your dancing shoes & let go for the night! the bathrooms are very clean & monitored by a person throughout the whole night. don't be afraid to bring your jacket, coat check is $5 but they take cash & card. there's a smoking section out back with chairs too!
      i had a great night with my friends and would go back on another night with music that's closer to what i like:)

      Security needs better training, period! A friend and myself came to see Pauly D perform, paid like everyone else, my friend was feeling unwell, *as it happens in nightlife and night life establishments. The restroom doors were being banged on while my friend was utilizing the restroom. Upon leaving the event another security guard (extremely unprofessional) stated my friend could not stay and we needed to leave, as we were already on our way out, I told him the security individual he needed to know where they are at in their line of work, as they are in nightlife establishment and you have someone ill in the restroom while banging on the restroom door to get out! For further emphasis on tonight's event, management can contact me directly, thank you. (Attention Management: Check your cameras in the restroom hallway of main floor and see that I was violated in being touched for no relevant reason and without consent, nor reasoning as to why I was shoved by your security in the event I was already leaving the establishment.)

      I wore a crop top and was kicked out. It was homophobic. I ordered drinks and nobody said anything but the male security guards told me to leave since I was wearing a crop top. My friend took a drink into the bathroom and was told she would be kicked out if she didn't take the drink and leave it by the door of the bathroom. Will
      Never be going again. Very homophobic place. Don't go if you're gay. They obviously don't support any type of pride.

      This place is RACIST and it was the first time feeling DISCRIMEATED AGAINST in a club in San Francisco. It was the worst experience ever. I would NOT come here again.

      We got pushed hard on the floor and my friend fell on her knees, she got bruised. We felt very unsafe because of the bad management and security here. We were being blamed for fell down on the floor and they kicked us out because we are chinese girls. The poor choices they made makes me question about this place.

      "Yeah whatever" after a woman tells the security guard to stop talking about her like she's an object. If security isn't there to protect you, then who is? This is some BS. This place should have closed down a long time ago. I still remember the Asian man who goes to this club to traffic women. I saw him twice. Should've taken a picture.

      Perverted piece of shit.

      Buy tickets online! Plays edm on the top floor and edm remixes on the basement level 55. I think for more popular events they may regulate more but they didn't care to separate the tickets for either spaces. The lines going in are a bit confusing to navigate but the coming in from right side? is preticket and forward is guest list and other side is no ticket I think. The lounge area is quite new and refreshingly cold with some couches to wait for uber. Otherwise, warehouse vibes.

      Does get hot, bar area downstairs gets crowded. I would say there's p much no dress code. I mean probably no athletic wear but I saw girls wear jeans, and guys wear sneakers, puffer jackets and hoodies so not too bad. The security can be a bit aggressive with checking body for anything. There's a diversity of groups and i can see how level 55 can get packed but the top area has way more space.

      Temple was my first clubbing experience in SF and I had so much fun! The music was great upstairs (Imanbek was the DJ playing that night) and downstairs they were playing a lot of classic throwback pop songs.

      However, I was disappointed by the bottle service we paid for. First, we paid almost $2000 for a table for 10, and there was barely enough space for 8 people and we had to share the space closely with another group of 4. The bouncer was rude to us, and ended up kicking our whole group out after claiming one person was being too rowdy- I would've assumed the amount we paid would've given us the privacy to have fun in our own table.

      The bottle service girls were really nice and helpful, and it was really fun when they came out with the birthday sign and confetti.

      I would come back to temple for a night out, but I do not recommend bottle service. It was overpriced and bouncer was not professional. If anyone has any recommendations for good bottle service in SF, would love to hear them!

      My friends and I were using the bathroom in one stall and the bathroom attendant was BANGING on the door constantly, saying we couldn't be in there together. Mind you, we were simply trying to relieve ourselves & our bathroom excursion was a max of 5 mins. She went as far as to get a MALE security guard in the WOMEN'S restroom to berate us. He continued to harass us as we were washing our hands. Do not recommend coming here at all .
