Monroe SF — Restaurant in San Francisco

We are San Francisco locals and has been going to Dragonbar before it became Monroe 15 years ago. We used to really like Monroe especially for their battle of the decade night on Friday. I literally recommend it to all my friends who visit me and bring them here.

Well we are never come back. We had the strangest experience with the supposed owner of Monroe - payam arvin. I have never seen him before. It was 6:40pm on a Friday and the club is pretty empty still playing 70s music, I am dancing a little by the dj booth and this guy in a leather jacket pumps into me to get to the booth it seems. There was room to walk around so I was a little annoyed but no bigger. I thought he was just rushing to go to his booth or something. 5 min later he walk the other way and kind of push me out of the way again. Again nothing big but noticeable rude. I dismissed it as he had a few too many drinks. 5 min later, he again passes us to push his way to the booth this time abruptly pushing past my husband who reacted and bumped him back a little. My husband actually then said sorry. It was just reflex for him. This guy then asked my husband to leave the club. I was incredulous as we are having fun waiting for 80 music to begin. I went to guy and asked him why. He said he works at Monroe and my husband has to leave. I am thinking but you bumped into my husband and the fact you worked here and is this rude was upsetting enough. We got our stuff and walked out the backyard calmly with him. I asked for his full name. I wanted to make sure the owner knew this guy is perhaps drunk on the job. To my surprise he said I am payam Arvin. I am the owner. Well. I guess Monroe is too successful and they don’t care about their long term customer any more as the owner was probably the rudest worker we have met at any club in sf. So you decide whether you also want to experience this level of arrogance form this Owner. I am a Yelp elite and write on TripAdvisor and Google and I am sad actually to experience this first hand also as a local. We already had plans to come back with our friend in September but now will change all of our plans. It’s a sad day for sf for an owner of a beloved club to let the success of the club go so much to his head as to have this happen. Just so you know this owner is. I attached a picture that is public on the internet. I had to double check in case he was bluffing to be the owner. He is the owner. ...

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Security is very unprofessional. Our group was from out of state and the security guard did not want to let us in because he “did not feel comfortable” letting us in with our ID’s. He didn’t even try to check them. He just looked at them and saw they were from out of state and rejected them. Worst part was that it wasn’t even 10pm yet and you can tell he had been drinking because you could barely understand what he was saying. He didn’t even understand himself when we asked him what was wrong with our IDs and instead just resorted to saying that he did not feel comfortable. Maybe try staying sober and actually check the IDs your presented? Idk, you’re the security, that’s literally 90% of your job. If Monroe management reads this I suggest you train your security to be A LOT more professional. You might actually get people in your door instead of having everyone go to the Bamboo hut next door. THAT place is awesome!!

UPDATE: Owner responded and informed me that his door security AND manager both are not aware of what a valid ID is supposed to look like. The IDs in questions were accepted at every bar we went to except this one. TOURIST BEWARE!!! New...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic nightclub and experiencing an amazing DJ set that left me feeling absolutely blown away. The atmosphere was electric, and the music was so good.

The nightclub itself was impressive, with stylish decor. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the drinks were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious.

But what really made the night unforgettable was the DJ set. The DJ was clearly a master of their craft, expertly mixing tracks and creating a vibe that kept the dance floor packed and everyone in high spirits. The music was a perfect blend of old and new, with just the right amount of energy to keep the crowd going all night long.

Overall, I can confidently say that this nightclub is one of the best I've ever been to, and the DJ set was nothing short of spectacular. If you're looking for a great night out with amazing music, this is definitely the...
