Kiss, The Runaways, AC/DC, The Sweet, Iggy Pop, Motley Crue. These bands and their lifestyles are celebrated every Sunday night at Sixxteen, far and away the tastiest of rock 'n' roll nightclubs, where it's as if Glam and Metal never went away. Each week a large (and, best of all, Yuppie-free) crowd gathers for a night of serious drinking, chain smoking, and debauched living. Five dollars gets you through the door, from there you can choose to mingle at the bar or go up to the main room where a live band (garage or punk style) kicks the evening off. After midnight the main room becomes the center of the action as the guys and gals get all sweaty writhing away to classic (for me at least) songs like Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" and Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel the Noize." While there's no official dress code most guys go for a rocker/roadie look (lots of black leather, T-shirts, wifebeaters) and the girls get slutted out in tiny tops, skintight pants, and high heeled shoes, with both sexes loving the studded belts. Inexpensive cover, always interesting crowd, phenomenally loud music, what more do you need? In a word, ROCKIN'.

For over two years and running, La Belle Epoque has been bringing jazzy, atmospheric and melodic drum ‘n bass to the City’s Lower Haight and has solidified it’s place as THE place to be for drum ‘n bass on Saturday nights. Resident DJs WishFM, SEA and Mike Bee lay it on with an aural flow that keeps you drifting steadily between a 2-step boogie and a float through inner space. Along with the residents, WishFM (Wade Hampton) keeps a steady influx of DJs coming in from here and everywhere, including regular rotations with members of the PBS Crew, XLR8R, and the guests from around the world. You get all that and a consistently good crowd of urban hipsters, good energy, a ‘blind eye’ smoking policy and efficient drink-pouring - all for only a measly 5 bucks. OR, if you get there before 10, you get in free, get drinks at happy hour prices and get to hear the ‘urban sounds’ of the Fearless Crew (Fiction, Affect, John Paul and Dom Some) during ‘/bay’siks/’, 7-10pm.
