Overall Review: Hit it. Hit it hard. Bootie Night at DNA Lounge is the quintessential get-in-the-sack pack.
You’ve got your usual 20-30 minute wait in line during peak hours (10pm-11pm), perfect for snuggling up in the chilly SF night. You may find yourself deterred by the way the line wraps around the building. Don’t be. It moves rather quickly, make some friends. There’s the $6 before 10pm and $12 thereafter cover charge, a chance to show off some, while not an absurd amount of “dollah dollah bills”. The crowded dance floor offers ample violation of personal space as well as grinding opportunities and, of course, the only way to counteract the annoyance of being thrashed around on a sweaty dance floor: booze. The drinks are moderately priced, strong and headed for hook-up triumph. I had the pleasure of dancing side-by-side a shirtless gay European on one of the smaller side platforms while being groped at the ankle by a large fella on the dance floor. There’s also a smaller upstairs area that looks down onto the dance floor for those suffering from claustrophobia and voyeurism.
The best parts about this place are the music and the people. Bootie is notorious for their eclectic mash-ups and occasional live, drag-queen performances, pleasing all genres of music lovers and nightclub dancers (excluding homophobes). The crowd is a diverse mix of hotties, hipsters, goths, gays, douche bags, B&Ts and expats. So if your date doesn’t work out, all I’m saying is: fish in a barrel. Fish. In. A. Barrel. Bang.
Don’t forget to hit up the late-night crepe truck next to Butter on your way to find the non-existent cabs.
