Regina WaltonMay 4, 2013Nice folks, good crowd, and good drinks. I was there during happy hour and was nice and sedated after two vodka tonics. :) I stayed downstairs at the bar, so I can't comment on the rest of the place.
Use the bathroom before coming here: ladies restroom only has one stall! Downstairs is more of a lounge, while upstairs has a top 40 style DJ on the weekends and a dance floor - new fav Polk spot!- Mish BJune 7, 2014Love love LOVE this place! Bouncers and bartenders are so friendly! Just gets a little bit too crowded at times. Get the strawberry basil martini!
So fun, love this place. The bartenders are all very nice, Drinks/Beers are good and patrons are for the most part very cool!!
Dylan MonteiroJuly 3, 2012Literally on the corner of Pine and Powell. Went on Monday and upstairs was closed, might be open just on weekends. Cool atmosphere though.
John CassilloJuly 31, 2012Don't be intimidated by the apparent crowd when you arrive. Head upstairs, there's plenty of room on and around the dance floor.
Shagun AulakhNovember 5, 2014Love this spot. Standard cocktails and good music. Memories of crazy bday parties and lots of dancing
Milton GeorgesJune 13, 2013Communist female bartender will occasionally go on an Anti-American rant, and then complain that her tattoos were done poorly.
SarahMay 20, 2015Go here if you don't want to be in SF and instead want to be somewhere terrible. Also, they don't let you wear hats??- Supposedly trying to turn the upstairs into a club? What this means as of now: no white tees or tanks for guys. I smell a cover charge in the near future.
JCAugust 26, 2015The idiots who manage this place let too many people in? And then the fire marshals came & made them shut down the dancing, right after I payed $10 to get in. Wack
Michael KimNovember 23, 2013DONT COME HERE! Small bar. Cover. They think they are Vegas or NYC but they don't charge covers for a place like this...
Gervis CashJanuary 20, 2013This place is wack. $5 cover for dudes if you want to go upstairs. Stupid crowded for no reason. Way too many bouncers. Do. Not. Come. Here.

"Reminds me of NYC bar. It's great because it is what it is. Drinks are good and reasonable, bartenders are friendly, decor is amazing."
Kristen DiLandro - 6.0
"The outrageously generous happy hour and friendly bartenders who fashion the best cable car cocktail in the city make the Lush Lounge one of the best bars in the 'Loin."
