Club Six

I ain’t mad at you Club 6. ‘Cept I am. Because after some plastered dickwad knocked over my just poured and paid for shitty well drink, you made me pay for another one.
Hell no.
That goes against everything I stand drunk at a bar to order a shitty well drink for.
I don’t give a fuck about your venue; I want to make it rain minus stars for any and all bars that do this cheap-​ass policy. You done been warned, pals.

So you think you can paint! Absolutely loved it.

The following review is only regarding thursday’s «So you think you can paint» events.
After a friend told me about this place i decided to check it out — it sounded fun. The area is pretty ghetto, you will be have to walk thru at least a dozen bums no matter what direction you come from. I was told that last Thursday was pretty slow, but when we got there is was fairly packed.
WHen you first get there, someone will tell you how all of this works and is pretty helpful information if you plan to paint. The drinks are really cheap since its Happy Hour. $ 5 cocktails & $ 3 beers. The crowd seems to be all 25+ a mixture between hipsters and stereotypical art students. It is sorta intimadating going there to paint since the type of people that go there go to see the art paintings. It was still a very unique experience if your getting tired of the normal bar scene.
I recommend this place if you want to switch things up a bit. Perfect for a blind date???

This review is only for «So You Think You Can Paint» that goes on every Thursday evening.
Best freaking way to spend your Thursday if you don’t have anything to do.
— 6pm — 11pm
— Admission is free
— $ 3 Beers
— $ 5 Mixed drinks
— Live DJ
Concept of the event is to bring your hipster attitude, okay, i kid, you could be whoever you want, and paint to your hearts content. Paint and canvases (i think its actually a wood board they reuse over and over) are provided though you do need to wait until someone puts up a new canvas and swoop in to claim and then you can start painting.
My friend and i got there at 7ish and the place was already pretty populated with more and more people coming in. We ordered a drink, waited around and figured we’ll come back another Thursday.
As we were walking out the security guard said:
Security Guard: «What happened? Did you guys get to paint?»
Friend & I: «No, we figured we’ll come early next week. How pack does this place normally get?»
Security Guard: «Surprisingly this is the least busiest it has been in a long while. Hold on let me tell them you didn’t get to paint because we want everyone to have an opportunity to paint.»
Friend & I: «No no it’s okay we’ll come back next week»
The Guy In Charge of Canvas: «Yeah, it’s first come first serve. *looks around* What about this, you guys grab some paint and i’ll change out this canvas right here?»
…
Me: *ECSTATIC!* I was pretty much smiling the whole night haha. I thought it was amazing for them to do that. It was totally unexpected. Maybe we got lucky but i thought it was a really nice gesture.
Definitely should check it out one time. Even if you don’t get to paint, you can enjoy other people’s art work because there were some pretty good artist in there creating masterpieces.

I haven’t been in a really long time. I appreciate the upstairs downstairs set-​up, with the entry level acting more as a lounge and often times has a lot of art up on the walls. Pretty good djs used to get booked here, not sure about nowadays.

I came for «So You Think You Can Paint». My bf and I were in town for a few days, and I found out about this weekly event while Google searching for cheap, fun things to do in the city. My cousin and a couple of my bf’s friends met up as well. I wish we had something this awesome in LA! I had such a great time, and the creative energy was intoxicating.

Six words for Club Six: So You Think You Can Paint.
Blank canvases, cheap beer and live music. What more could you want on a Thursday night? Correction, EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT?
I can’t speak to the rest of the week, but Thursday is just plain dumb fun.

For a club thats right off market, its a pretty big venue with two big dance rooms, two bars, and a extra room in the back that displayed some art.
Stopped by here for their Thursday «So you think you can paint and it was loads of fun, paint, and creativity. There were tables full of endless paint and brushes, people totally in the zone of their own crafts or just a bunch of hipsters meeting up and enjoying $ 3 beers and $ 5 well drinks. I had a great time painting, while the DJ was spinning A Tribe Called Quest. The atmosphere was fun friendly folks who were just there to appreciate art or be a part of it. It did get a bit crowded but how often do you paint for free, for fun, and also score some bite size IKES sandwiches on the side. I want to check out the club at night hopefully soon, but as for now I will be sure that I’m going back to paint this upcoming Thursday!

As my best friend put it, walking through here was like walking through the 8 Mile road.
I was pretty drunk, but the club still did not do much for me. While they had awesome people cyphering and DJing, there was absolutely no dancing going on, which was kind of a buzz kill. I would think a Saturday night would be popping for any club, but I guess not. I don’t think I would come back unless a friend was DJing here.
Upside? Free cover on Saturday night and super awesome bartenders

I have only attended their «So you think you can paint?» Thursday night event.
This event is worth checking out. No cover charge and drinks are reasonably priced. Painting and drawing on the walls is a cool concept. Some talented people show up and its fun to watch them work.
My only complaints are the neighborhood (sketchy) and even though it is 21+ to get in, I still felt like I was one of the oldest people in attendance (I’m 25). Definitely a ‘younger’ crowd.
I don’t know if I’d trek back through the ghetto on a Thursday to attend this particular event again, but I would be willing to attend different events at this venue in the future.

Review for «So You Think You Can Paint» Event on Thursday’s:
Painting, cheap booze, free Ike’s Sammy, good music, zero cover, friendly bouncer, friendly bartender and friendly event organizer — this is my new Thursday night activity!
Just be aware of the hood and keep walking.

As much as I love my swanky places and fine dining experiences I also love my more down home venues too. This place is located on 6^th street which is in a poorer neighborhood but for having been coming here for years I’ve never had an issue.
I had to write an update because recently I stopped by on a Thursday and they had this crazy idea to throw a painting party. Basically they throw up blank canvases all over the room and provide all the paint and brushes. You just show up and create your artwork. How cool is that!
This place does art events on occasion so some legit artists were doing their thing so it was cool to have a coctail and watch them paint. Very cool vibe and unique as well.

Alright.
Dirty ass restroom. ‘Uhm, is this the ladies room or the mammoth room ?‘
I swear. Looked like someone locked a dinosaur in here for 24 hours.
Gah’rosssss! Smelled like f’ing…every name in the book!
Drinks were all expensive so I was like F it, you can’t go wrong with a beer. ‘Oh wait a minute! Is this a Guinness or a F’ing imitation ?‘
F this place, I’m out!

If your expectations are set correctly, you can have a decent time at Six.
Grimy, grimy, grimy, but the staff is friendly and the space is fairly open which I appreciate.
Quick tip: keep your back to a wall so you can keep all the sketchy characters in your field-​of-​vision. Like me.

This was my second time here and the experience was the same.
Why should I spend $ 7 for a weak drink to watch a completely empty dance floor? There would have also been a cover charge if I came 15 minutes later. Unfriendly, creepy people. Gets an extra star since the music is usually good. Those DJ’s deserve a better venue.
Went down to Mezzanine and had a blast.

Fun New Years. Easy to get in, people were great, music was fun…
But Mr. bartender, don’t get mad at me just because I want some water. it’s hot and we’re all thirsty. GeeEeeeEEz. Happy freaking new year!

I’m torn on Club 6. I tend to dig a lot of the entertainment that gets hosted here – from various forms of performance art, circus acts, fashion shows, etc that you can catch before getting down to some dub step or hip hop – but I don’t think that I’m really a fan of the club itself.
It masquerades as a chill neighborhood club, but empties your wallet faster than such a place should, and makes it difficult for you to fill it since their ATMs don’t work and you’ll probably get nagged for stepping out to go to one across the street.
I’m a girl who’s smart enough to know that there’s no harm in the 6^th street-​sidewalk-​dwellers’ hoots and hollers, but similarly smart enough to know that I shouldn’t pay $ 9 (sans chaser, sans tip) for a shot here.
I might go back if the event is worthwhile, but I’d pass them up for something similar at Mighty any day.

Went for Halloween and loooooooved it. Main room upstairs was playing some good reggae but best part was Maseo from De la Soul DJing all the great old school hip/​hop I luuuuv. Aslo liked that there was a very diverse crowd and alot of people there just feelin the music and vibe and not trying to rub up on my ass like the clubs I usually go to in Hollywood.
Not a fan of the drinks though had a cranberry/​vodka that tasted like throwup and was not worth whatever I paid for it. :/​But never the less I will definitely be back next time I visit SF

eh.

SOOOOOOOOOOO GHETTO AND DISGUSTING!
I came here for my 1^st time with friends on a random Saturday in November, and I was shocked at how such a dank and dingy BASEMENT could get such high ratings!!! The music was good, so 1 star for that… but everything else about the place was just disgusting!
Location — very baaad part of town
Parking — street parking in the ghetto
Venue — a dark basement with low ceilings, sure wasn’t «multii-​level» when I went
Cleanliness — wet floors, hot /​humid, stinky, dirtyyyyyyyyyy
Crowd — diverse, lots of shady guys who grab at you uninvited! it’s like they let everyone and anyone in all night! sausage fest and seemed like there was no dress code at all.
Music — pretty good, hip-​hop hits
Bar — uhhh, it was a wooden stall with like 5 handles of hard liquor in the back … ghetto!
Drinks — we didn’t dare to try because we didn’t trust it
Price — got in for free
After all this, we left in a half hour because we were too grossed out. Seriously, I have never been to a club this dirty or disgusting. It even made the walk through the ghetto back to our car seem not so bad. At least we didn’t have to pay to get in.

Just when you think you have a pretty firm handle on your dancing repertoire — I dare you to go to Club Six on reggae night.
Be prepared to be shocked, amazed, and floored by booty shaking and hip grinds that will put all those hours spent practicing in front of mirrors to shame.
I hadn’t been to Club 6 in well over a year, but with my Seven Days of Dancing (
) agenda — I knew I had to return.
I’m so glad I did, because it was an amazing night. Though I have to say that I was surprised to discover that the bumpin’ Club 6 basement area that I remember so well, was fairly empty for what once used to be the «hottest» place to be (literally and figuratively) on a Thursday night. I’m hoping I just went on an off week — because it would be a shame to see such body jostling music not be appreciated the way it should be.
If you have yet to go to Club 6 — go (tonight would be a great night too —
for Veni Vidi Vici), but before you do go, you may just want to keep some things in mind:
1.) Some nights are just off. Do your research on what’s going on there before you go.
2.) Don’t wear any nice pants, or new shoes. The bathrooms are dark and dingy, and those wet spots on the ground are not water.
3.) Don’t feel like you have to dance with aggressive dancers. Just be polite about it — and it’s all good.
4.) Try not to drive if you can. It’s not necessarily the best area to park in.
5.) Just go. I came here after work this past Thursday by myself. While I did end up meeting up with co-​coworkers later, I met a plethora of outgoing people from in and around the city in the meantime.
6.) And just go for it. Even if the dance floor is empty — if you’re feeling the music — just get out there and get down :)
