This Cow Hollow retro bar and disco nightclub is a two-sided event venue in San Francisco for up to 300 guests standing or 100 seated. A 1970s-style bar connects to a nightclub with a light-up LED dance floor, mirrored DJ booth and disco balls, so one booking covers both a relaxed lounge and a full dance party.
Two Sides, One Night
The bar side leans into 1970s comfort. Low ceilings, decorative rock walls and a wood-panelled bar with draft taps set the tone, with black and white checkered floors, green bar stools and booth seating around round tables. An illuminated retro marquee sign, wall-mounted screens and a skee-ball machine give it a game room feel that gets guests talking early in the night.

Two Sides, One Night
The bar side leans into 1970s comfort. Low ceilings, decorative rock walls and a wood-panelled bar with draft taps set the tone, with black and white checkered floors, green bar stools and booth seating around round tables. An illuminated retro marquee sign, wall-mounted screens and a skee-ball machine give it a game room feel that gets guests talking early in the night.
Next door, the nightclub side brings disco-era energy into the present. A multicolored, color-changing LED dance floor sits at the center, framed by a mirrored DJ booth, raised catwalks and go-go cages. Pink banquettes, lip-patterned wallpaper, neon signs and art deco railings finish the look, and disco balls scatter light across the room once the music starts.
Layout and Capacity
Taken together as a full buyout, the venue holds up to 300 people standing or 100 seated, with cabaret, dining and standing layouts available. The bar side alone suits groups of up to roughly 125, and the nightclub side holds up to 175 on its own. The two sides connect, so parties of more than about 150 usually take over both and move between them through the evening.
A floor plan of the venue shows VIP seating, front and middle seating areas, photo booths and game areas spread across both sides. That variety gives a large group natural zones: quieter booths for conversation, a game corner for warming up, and an open dance floor when the night picks up. Smaller groups can also ask the venue team about reserving a section instead of the whole venue.
Sound, Lighting and Equipment
- Color-changing LED tiled dance floor and a mirrored DJ booth
- PA system with house speakers; bring your own DJ or stream a playlist
- Professional lighting equipment and disco balls

Food and Drink
The bar team runs drink service, with cocktails and draft beer poured by staff, and outside alcohol is not permitted. Food is up to you: the venue does not cater in-house, but you are welcome to bring your own food or hire a caterer, and the team can set out 4- or 6-foot tables for a buffet. A kitchen is available for staging, which helps when trays need to be kept warm or replenished.
Events It Suits
- Birthday parties with a pre-party on the bar side and dancing next door
- Holiday parties for companies that want a real dance floor
- Engagement and anniversary celebrations with a disco theme
- Executive retreat evenings and team bonding events after a day of meetings
- Bachelor and bachelorette parties and other big group nights out
As a birthday party venue, it shines for groups that want a story to tell. Reviews mention a festive dance floor with lights and fog, a warm-up round of skee-ball and photo booths on the bar side, attentive bartenders and a host who answered questions quickly and even helped an outside DJ get set up. Several guests say they would happily recommend it to friends planning a party.
Planning Notes
Every guest must be 21 or older with a valid ID, and smoking is not allowed in the building. Bringing a private event DJ is welcome, and the team appreciates hearing event details early so setup goes smoothly. The entrance is step-free with wheelchair access and accessible restrooms. Free street parking and paid parking facilities are both available nearby.
Pricing depends on the day, timeframe and number of guests, so share all three when you reach out. To check dates for this venue space for rent, send an inquiry through Events in Minutes with your guest count, preferred side or full buyout, and timing, and the venue team will come back with options for your night.
