In Short
Dim red lighting, lazy overhead fans and tribal masks decorate the front of this neighborhood hideaway, dominated by a carved, altar-like wooden bar. The lush South Seas theme continues in a cool smoking patio, which has… Read Full Editorial
Don't bother by divina2012 via Citysearch on 2/6/2012
If I could, I would give this place ZERO stars!!!! I implore all people of conscience or just conscious people to boycott this dump. I received such RACIST and reprehensible treatment here that I don?t want anyone to spend another dime…
Great for dancing by Sheri M via Insider Pages on 5/17/2010
Very fun place to come for dancing and it has a nice sized dance floor for it too. It can get kinda crowded but that is the normal for many bars along this area of polk street. Each time i have come i have had a great experience. Great…
dance dance! by angelruar via Citysearch on 4/28/2009
This is such a cool place. Perfect spot for dancing. Very cosy. Nice crowd. The bartenders are very friendly. They serve pretty well. Good job for this place. :D
this place rocks non-pretentious by Dave H via Insider Pages on 2/9/2009
Super hot bartenders and no attitude.What else could you ask for?! ...it has a very diverse crowd , so if you like it vanilla go somewhere else... it does get packed, but that's cool by me. keep on keeping' on vertigo!
Dance Dance Dance by dondata via Citysearch on 12/5/2008
This is the spot to drink and dance. Usually the good clubs are crowded but this spot it perfect. Also the drinks are awsome.
Great deals, but gets packed too! by thekenbox via Citysearch on 7/28/2008
This bar is cool since it's right down the street from where I stay. They have a smoking lounge (says it's a patio, but actually indoors, which is nice) for smokers like me... They have a great happy hour, and 4 for $10 Jello Shots 24/7!…
ok bar by LAURA O via Insider Pages on 7/19/2008
Really small bar in the tenderloin, very crowded and sweaty people. You Cant even dance, the music was not consistent, drinks were really bad and the crowd was very casual
Excellent Dance Bar by cityguide72 via Citysearch on 2/10/2008
As a local who loves Vertigo, I know exactly who the dude is who goes by the screen name "Tribaldelic" is. This is the sort of local color that you run past quickly in order to enter a club on Polk Street. God bless the owners of Vertigo,…
AWESOME with one tiny little glitch by tribaldelic via Citysearch on 12/10/2007
Owner, also Owner of LUSH down the street needs to take a course in Public Relations - I'd patron both bars more often with recommendations if the owner sold out to someone more professional. Owner is not freindly with Gayz Clientele -…
Perfect blend by amis via Citysearch on 2/10/2007
I've been to just about every bar/club there is in sf, and i have to say Vertigo is the best! maybe those of you that think its a "frat" party should go somewhere else. Mr. Kenny is the most friendly bar owner/operations/bartender there…
Decent crowd, strange mix of music, rude bartender by writerevie via Citysearch on 12/3/2006
Just got back from partying at this place, and I must say that the crowd isn't a bad one, nor is the decor. The music is a strange mix though. The DJ went from hip hop, to 70s funk, to something that sounded like it was from the 50s and…
I would rather party in my car. by dan_rather via Citysearch on 10/24/2006
Vertigo is the reason why I don't let my friends (or friends of friends) select the nightlife destination. If I wanted to go to a frat party, I would have visited one of the local universities. The bathroom is the size of my Acura's glove…
Terrible customer service by zdk via Citysearch on 9/12/2006
The staff at Vertigo are truly offensive. They are condescending and rude, but at the same time they permanently boozed up to the point that they can't complete sentences. I urge you not to patronize this bar. It's just not worth giving…
OHHHH!!! WHAT A NIGHT by sunny312 via Citysearch on 9/8/2006
SO LET'S SEE..........I almost don't want to say positive things about this place bc I don't want all the rif-raf to find out about it but let me tell you........THIS PLACE IS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE CITY! I typically hangout at all the…
Good times! by ukgrad04 via Citysearch on 4/6/2006
I went to Vertigo for the first time this past weekend. I had a great time dancing, the music was better than most "clubs" I've been to here in the city. It was a bit crowded, but not to the point where it made you want to leave. Drinks…
Great quasi-outdoor area by Vincent H. via Judy's Book on 9/6/2005
For those of you wandering down Polk St in Russian Hill, Vertigo is a great place to stop in for a drink. If nothing else, they have a great quasi-outdoor seating area that is wonderful getting some fresh air (as long as you avoid the…
Ok Place by Jose G. via Judy's Book on 8/27/2005
The new bouncer is not as nice as the previous one, and does not seem to know what he is doing.The bartenders rock! Drinks are Faboo! DJ's vary, weekend guy is quirky but gets the teeny dance floor all sweaty and hot...that's good.Who will…
WORTH A DETOUR by hartlepool via Citysearch on 3/24/2005
THIS PLACE IS WORTH VISITING FOR THE BARTENDER ALONE. YURI MAKES DRINKS AS WELL AS HE MAKES CONVERSATION...THE HOST KENNY MAKES EVERYONE FEEL LIKE HE'S SPINNING THEIR OWN PERSONAL RECORD COLLECTION. FROM THE DOORMAN TO THE BAR-BACK THESE…

For the price, can't get worse. by loony2nz via Citysearch on 8/12/2004
$2.00 cover? SURE! We're in! Walk in. Dancefloor is TINY. The DJ was spinning CD's and the system would cut out half a second with every track he played. The DJ went from hip hop to 70's (he played DEVO!!!), to Def Leppard (he played…
