ATH is throwing its Welcome Back Week opener as a blackout theme party at El Rey, which means wear black or spend the night feeling underdressed. El Rey's main floor gets dark and loud in a way that actually suits a theme party, but the room is large enough that it never feels suffocating. Grab...
A 2000s throwback night at one of Nob Hill's most architecturally loaded rooms, co-presented by REKLEZ ENT and AM ENT. The Lobo's wide floor and decent sound system make it a better dancing venue than most people expect the first time they walk in. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead rather...
