    Welcome to Monarch, the reigning throne of San Francisco's nightlife dynasty. This thriving cultural capsule located on the edge of SOMA intertwines the shared visions of four deeply-rooted industry veterans. Monarch gracefully dominates the corner of 6th and Mission as a rare multifunctional venue that is equally suited to an evening of sophisticated lounging and craft cocktailing, as to a night of music, movement and debauchery. Ambiance leaps to new heights as trained performers execute balanced perfection, suspended from the ceiling above the bar's delicate glass bottles. Monarch offers an exciting range of options for private events and catering for any size party.

      I haven't been out dancing in a lot of years but my bf and I got a good vibe from this club as we walked past it so after dropping some stuff off at our hotel, we decided to go have a cpl of drinks and dance, as an empath I can get overwhelmed if there's too much negative energy, this club had a mellow vibe from everyone from the bartenders, door person, security, even the club owner, the energy inviting and fun . Definitely will visit again in the future! Love the atmosphere and the music

      This venue is awesome. We were waiting for our table at The Pawn Shop, we enjoyed a cocktail (which was absolutely delicious) and caught a few lovely memories in the free photobooth! I love the vibe of this place, and the design motif throughout the rooms is truly cool. They even have a hanging hoop for performers, which can be viewed from the bar or the dance floor. The basement level opens up later in the evening, serving an entirely different vibe! What a lovely surprise. Will definitely be back!

      I came here to hear one of my favorite artists and really enjoyed the ambiance of the place. Great decorations and the dance floor downstairs was small enough to feel intimate along with enough room for everyone. I loved how they had a hard kombucha with was tasty and sat in my stomach right. There was also another smaller dance floor when you walk in along with some couches. The place had a lot of plants and options if you didn't want to dance. There are chairs, a photo booth and the comfy couches offering people a chance to sit down comfortably and get to have conversations. Really loved the venue and music, I recommend if someone wants to check out a new spot.

      Came here on a Saturday night. A really cool spot with a lot of rooms and vibes. The drinks were good and the owner/manager was a nice guy. The area surrounding it isn't terrible, but just keep your head on a swivel.

      I was hesitant to pay a $20 cover, but I figured that's how much a drink costs, so why not. However, the check in person was really rude. There was no line and I made a mistake counting a few friends for cover and she yelled at me for accidentally saying 3 instead of 4. Whoops? I hadn't paid yet, so she could've just re-adjusted it. That ruined my first impression, so I probably won't come back.

      Meant to only go to the bathroom from The Pawn Shop and ended up at a bar next door, Monarch! Such a cool surprise! We ordered the Sakura and the Crystalis! Both very good drinks. Our favorite was the photobooth! They were free to take unlimited pictures. Definitely a must after The Pawn Shop!

      This place is one of my favorites clubs in SF. They book a lot of awesome DJs and the sound system downstairs is fantastic.

      The first time I was in here I had no idea what it had to offer. I was upstairs at the bar but I could feel bass rumbling from somewhere. I started looking for it and found myself downstairs. Love at first sight.

      Outside of the venue is sketchy so try to stay near the door where they have security.

      A pretty cool bar which also has a yelp deal when you check in. They have a downstairs that opens up into a club later in the night. They do have restrooms (although the downstairs ones aren't as good). They have a free photo booth which is super cool! The drinks are tasty but there is a limited selection. The bartenders and super nice and chatty when free!

      We came here after getting food and drinks at the pawn shop.

      I literally never knew there was a club here, I always avoided 6th and geary because of all the scary sh*t outside. It wasn't worth risking my life walking up that street lol.

      This place has multiple levels and they play techno / edm / BM type of music. They had an aerial hoops artist performing which was super cool. You can wear literally whatever you want here, fluffy fur jackets, no jacket, super clubbey or sweatpants and t shirt . Everyone was really friendly and nice and good vibes. Not my type of music at all, but great if your into burning man kind of vibes.

      Free water !
