Space 550

Country Western · Dancing · San Francisco, CA

About

This crowd comes to two-step, not to drink. Space 550 in San Francisco's Dogpatch draws a dry or teetotalling crowd for country-western dancing, with beginners' lessons before the Sunday night rush. It's a 15,000-square-foot event space that also hosts circuit parties like Adonis, Epic and Underworld.

The venue has a full bar, but most dancers are focused on the floor. Food like sushi and fruit is available during events. Getting here is easier by car; public transit is possible but a chore late at night.

From the community

“Great dance club in a very tough location”

Space 550 is the best venue for events like Adonis, Epic, and Underworld. The space is quite large; drinks are reasonably priced and strong; the decor is amazing. There's a lounge area where you can get a massage. The club also serves food like sushi and fruit. My only issue is its location. It's really hard to find a taxi and using public transit late at night is a pain. Driving your own car is the best option.

“Not my car in this area.”

The neighborhood is rough, so stay alert.

“Addictive 2-Step Program”

A nice change from typical bars. They have a full bar, but most people are not drinking. The large dance floor is used for two-stepping, waltzing, and swing dancing. It can get packed, especially Sunday nights. Beginners should come early for lessons; after that, friendly guys of all levels are happy to dance with you. It's worth the trip to the old garment district if you drive. Public transit is an option but inconvenient and passes through sketchy areas.

“Dance addict”

I joined this group over four years ago and now can't go without dancing. It's incredibly fun to make a three-minute commitment to hold someone, chat, laugh, and enjoy the moment, knowing it will end.
