The Valencia Room

Tiny and just really bizarre overall. Super weird vibes, very strange crowd- kind of an interesting anthropological case study if you’re not drinking. The DJ wasn’t great, but literally right at the very end this one guy who was much better took over?? They close at 2:00 A.M. but at 1:30 they turned on the lights on and kicked us all out right as the music started getting good. Oh well. It’s not like we were missing out on much.

Some really aggressive staffing except for the custodian who was really friendly. I get that staff are tired after a long night but it's no excuse for the aggressive behavior towards patrons. Not sure if that's usual practice here and I was just sober this time around to realize. Also, a first, around midnight they had everyone on the floor move to the second floor completely killing the vibes. Again, not sure if I'm just bothered because I was sober this night as the DD, but there were far too many weird experiences at this bar. Speaking of weird, never had a bouncer rub my nipples when being checked, like do people hide stuff there nowadays???? To add, the DJ they hired doesn't even know how to mix properly, throwing off everybody. They do however have a free photobooth thing so that was nice and the bathrooms are pretty clean for a bar. They don't take Apple/Android Pay so make sure you bring a physical card if you even want to consider coming here. Overall: I don't know if my experience being sober made a major factor in seeing all the flaws, but I have worked as a photographer for many other clubs and events so the aggressive staffing is really not normal imo. I'd avoid this place and check out other places in the mission.

Came for latin music night and was charged 20 dollars for cover. Vibes were mostly good but music was not on theme. Whole venue was kicked out at 1:30am, 30 minutes before advertised closing time with not explanation all security staff were just so rude at least the drinks were decent.

Attended a New Year’s Eve event at Valencia Room that was advertised as a Bollywood party, but the music was mostly Punjabi, which felt misleading. More importantly, the environment felt unsafe. My friends and I experienced harassment, including unwanted touching and inappropriate comments, and had to involve a bouncer. This was a disappointing and unacceptable experience for a ticketed event.

Went on Halloween and the music was lame and the lights were too bright so it felt awkward to dance. Overall vibe could have been more fun and friendly by staff too. We left after 20 minutes

Amazing Halloween decor! Love this bar its always a vibe, this day it was empty so i had to deliver great photos for my google maps family. Came back on the actual holiday & it was a vibe! The music is always good, a mix of latino urbano, latest hits & hip hop. Will come back here for sure 💗

Worst place inSF! Punk ole managers refuses to man up against the out of touch owners. They don’t know how to draw a crowd. Defensively changing pricing after securing online tickets, will not acknowledge actual demographic challenges.
