The EndUp
Dancing · San Francisco, CA
About
The EndUp is famed for its marathon parties that keep going long after other bars have closed. This SoMa dive bar draws a diverse 20s-30s crowd, with a large outdoor patio and energetic dance floor. Music is loud, bartenders are friendly, and the vibe is unpretentious.
Cover charge leans toward expensive, and the crowd can get cranky past 2am. Arrive early for a mellower experience, or embrace the late-night chaos. If you're in the mood for cocktails before heading over, Bourbon & Branch is a nearby speakeasy worth a stop.

From the community
“I've got a love/hate thing goin' on”
Good points: excellent music, a diverse crowd, a nice outdoor space, a great dance floor, and the lesbian bartenders make strong drinks. Bad points: the security staff are rude, there are occasional drug overdoses, the cover charge is a bit high, and the crowd (especially after 2 AM) can be rough, irritable, strange, or slightly snobbish. I've had amazing dance sessions there and some wild nights. My favorite event, Fag Fridays, recently announced it will leave The EndUp in mid-October 2007.

“Fave Dance Club for SERIOUS DANCERS”
It's been a while since I visited, but I'm heading back soon! I absolutely adore this club! The best dance spot in the whole city!

Over a year ago. Glitter Ricky plays excellent techno. I might be biased, but it's true.

“Sunday Tea Dance”
I always love arriving around noon, grabbing a drink, and starting to dance! I enjoy the outdoor patio area. It's a tradition that keeps going. There's always a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds. You never know who might end up there. The inside is a bit grungy. The bartenders are friendly. The sound system is very loud!

“ShangriLa is awesome”
I'm very impressed with this club. I go for the event on Friday nights, and it's packed. The live performance at midnight is always enjoyable. The patio is quite large. I have a great time and will definitely return.
