The Valencia Room

ghetto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expensive!!!!
sometime that's what make a club fun. Dj is mostly good, but there are some bad ones

Made me never wanna go to a club again! If I can even call it a club!!! It was a 20$ fee to get in, only stayed for 1hr and the music was really wack. The dance floor felt like it was going to break at any moment. Had tequila shots and they served out cheap bottom shelf sh*t. The people in there felt too young to be in there. only highlight of that place was the photo mirror they had.

Came here walking around the area and ran into this bar, it was initially kinda dead but once we walked in Austin the bartender was quick to greet us and make the vibe. (He made our experience so much better)

I asked him to make me something light and I ended up
With a vodka lemonade/sparkling water. Very yummy, he nailed it!

Loved the music in here, dim-good vibes. Not from here but I would come back.

This bartender is fast like the flash the party is good! His name is Jaime the drink was amazing

Please listen carefully I have been an avid night club goer for many years.
I remember this place when it was called the Elbo Room and had many good times there.
But whoever bought this place and turned it into the Valencia Room.
IMO they are running hard nose clip joint format embodied at this establishment a complete 180 from what many other SF night clubs represent.
reminds me of some watered down wanna be mafia ran clip joint scenario from over the top absorbent cover charges online girl promo pictures bait and switch pushy promoter mentality trying so hard to be exclusive pushing bottle service VIP table prodding in this little place without having anything exclusive.
Regular practice of credit card over charging applying tip to credit bill even when tip is paid in cash and any charges they can up charge on plastic, security that have something to prove very bios using the dress code tactic hard for bios reasons door staff are instructed to purposely hold the cattle line at the door when no one is actually inside the club just one bartender tons of security like they are running fort Knox but it is just an illusion.
The old tricks of prohibiting any ins and outs in order to clip you for another cover charge while your friends are inside even with running wristbands TSA style pat downs at the door like they are used to catering to gangsters or expecting serious problems from all customers seriously wanting or expecting this kinda clientele limited access multiple cover charges once inside.
if the administration of this establishment actually did there home work before opening they would know this type of formula of business is played out bridge and tunnel no amount of slick promo is going to cover up this formula of operation really I don't know how people think this is a real honest representation of a business model here in SF maybe at some tackie shopping mall night club somewhere with no culture but in reality this is a perfect example of a get something for nothing philosophy and the type of place that strips this city down of any cultural significance a downward spiral negative side of what things have become here..
I have seen this all before but not to this extreme here in SF they are not running a place where everything in the club is gold platted but will squeeze you for $13 bucks on a bottle of cheap Mexican beer.
unless you want to pay a ton of extra money and like being treated like a piece of meat it would be best to avoid this place all together nothing but over the top attitude and scams tailor designed to get every dollar from you they can with minimum aptitude in the service or entertainment industry to put it lightly there is no Grandsure or Palace Elegance Here to warrant the price and cost of everything here you can go to a much more prestigious place at this price point.
But don't take my honest opinion experience what a real clip joint is for yourself just be ready to empty your wallet while being treated like dog dew in the process this is the last place you will want to spend your hard earned money at.

Don't waste your time here. We paid $35 for the comedy show they had upstairs which was actually decent, the comics were good! They asked us to go downstairs while they cleaned up. Later, they refused to let us go back upstairs and tried to make us pay another $20 to go back up, after we were already inside. The security guard is a piece of shit who also tried to manhandle some other perfectly coherent girl who was trying to talk to them.

I understand it can get crazy when there's a long line with tonnes of drunk people and security needs to be tough. That was not this place. It was amusing - There were about 10 people in the "club" downstairs with pretty questionable music, and nobody in line to go upstairs at 12 am on a Saturday night. The only reason we attempted to go back up was because we had some friends there already. These were not security people being good at their jobs, these were people that hated their lives and were taking it out on the total of three people trying to get in.

Look - None of this matters if the music is sick and the crowd is cool. This place just ain't it - Don't ruin your night with their $20 drinks and needing to be their troubled security guard's therapist - Go to literally any other bar or club in the area and have a better night. I give this place 6 months...

This is what gentrification looks like in the Mission. Beer is $11 a pop, then 10% service charge, then tax on the whole amount, including the tip! Yes, they will charge you tax on the tip.
$26.28 for two beers is the new greedy reality.

Had the best night with my coworkers! Drinks were good, vibe was cracking and danced all night.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Thursday night after a show at a nearby venue and upon showing our IDs, i got bag checked (normal) but the bouncer put his hands in my bag which I always thought was a no no. He then proceeded to tell my boyfriend that he was going to be patted down where my boyfriend was like wtf when the bouncer grazed his dick and felt up one pocket of his shorts. We proceeded on with our night but we were pretty surprised by the events and when we left we didn't see any guys entering being felt up unless it happened prior. Overall the place was clean and drinks were fine.

Basically a better and bigger version of Raven Bar. They have a free photo booth here and 2 floors as well. The sound system is ok. The DJs aren't world-class and it gets super annoying when they add their own DJ name shoutout to every single song to promote themselves. Actually, now that I think about it, the DJ sucked! They need better DJ's and better sound systems all around the room not just the dance floor.
Restroom lines are always long but considering the nature of these places the restrooms are pretty clean and spacious.
