Long-established SoMa dance club with several rooms and a d&b audiotechnik sound system, booking house, techno and international DJs.
1015 Folsom is a multi-room electronic music nightclub at 1015 Folsom Street in the SoMa district of San Francisco, California. Open since 1989, it is one of the longest-running dance venues in the city and has built its reputation on house, techno and bass music, with a sound system from d&b audiotechnik. The club occupies a large industrial-style building in an area historically associated with the city's nightlife, and it continues to anchor the SoMa club scene.
The crowd is mostly adults in their twenties and thirties, along with dedicated electronic music fans who travel for particular DJs. Dress is stylish but flexible, with dark clothing, streetwear and club outfits all common; strict dress codes are not typical, although footwear suited to a long night on a dance floor is sensible. The venue is 21 and over with valid ID for most events, and the atmosphere is loud, high-energy and focused on the dance floor, with peak hours late at night.
The venue books a range of resident and international DJs, with different rooms often featuring different styles, so a single night may include a main room of house or techno and a secondary room of bass or other electronic genres. Some nights are themed or promoter-led, and larger events can sell out in advance. The bars serve beer, wine, spirits and mixed drinks at club pricing, typically higher than a neighborhood bar, with bottled water available.
The club operates on event nights rather than every night, usually from about 10:00 PM until 3:00 AM. Cover charges are typically in the range of $15 to $40 or more, higher for headline DJs, and advance tickets are often cheaper than door prices. Lines form on Friday and Saturday nights, and the door can be strict about ID. Table or bottle service may be available for groups on busy nights through the venue.
The club is close to other SoMa venues, restaurants and the Civic Center, and most visitors arrive by rideshare or transit late at night. Checking the event calendar before visiting is essential, as the style of music changes significantly from night to night.
