Bar #7 - Sake Lab Lounge


That we would even step foot in this place is a testament to how dead it was in North Beach. The 6+ drinks in everybody at that point probably had a little to do with our lack of reluctance as well. The bouncers were out front trying to entice people to come in, and after negotiating a no-cover entry, in we went. Basically this place is a low budget dance club masquerading as high style. The crappy house music was blasting, but we were literally the only 5 people in the bar, so it was tolerable. The space was covered wall, floor and ceiling with metallic silver surfaces and blue lighting. It was decked out with 60's style plastic furniture, plenty of poorly executed ball chain curtains and glowing red table lamps. After we decided that we'd never be coming back here, we ran around like fools taking photos of ourselves. It was really a liberating feeling to make the realization that we truly didn't care what the tools that work there thought! Around 11pm, the regular crowd started shuffling in and dancing, so we finished up our drinks and slid out the door.
