Slide, I've heard horror stories and I've heard rave reviews. Well, I'm not quite sold on either side...yet. I decided to cash in some EVR points and get a bottle to party and support my buddies Guzie & Solarz.

First thing I had heard, terrible doorman, well not this night. Mike took care of us great. Got us in and seated quickly.

Everything from here on out was kind of eh...

Cocktail waitress was rude and pushy (literally, she would push us out of the way). Must have been a slow night, because I didn't expect some of the people who got in to be able to. Dress code? The thing that killed the night for me was the group that was seated next to us rowdy, spilling things, bumping our seating over. After all of that we decided it was time to leave.

I will be back to experience Slide some more, because as it seemed, it may have just been one of those nights. One thing I will say, beautiful venue.

Depending on the night it can be hit or miss depending on who's promoting be wary even if there is a line because you never know what your getting until you walk down the stairs. Bottom Line lots of bacherlette parties, diverse crowd & very loud music. 6/23/2008 7:36:53 AM
     
       
Attended the White Party at Slide on Friday... and have to say that I was a little disappointed. While the DJ was pretty hot, the crowd wasn't quite the caliber that I was expecting. I'm from Los Angeles and it really seemed that there were a lot of SF-ites posing as LA-ites. Don't get me wrong, there are definietly some beautiful people there, but it just seemed a little fake. Is this the norm for Slide? Boredom set in around 1am, and we were out of there... 6/15/2008 1:31:43 PM
     
       
It's a nice and classy place. I love going for a drink and having a really good time with friends. Love the service, love the music, the Djs, etc... I just always have an amazing time. Almost forgot...love the slide they have inside ;P 6/12/2008 6:33:46 PM
     
       
Slide is a great place to hang out and enjoy the great music! 6/12/2008 11:06:56 AM
     
       
I absolutely love Slide, the music has always been fabulous and the bartenders are super friendly. I especially love the guy to girl ratio. I definitely think this club has a way of attracting the right crowd. I have a blast every time! 6/11/2008 10:17:32 PM
     
       
I have loved Slide every time I have been into this place. Underneath Ruby Skye, two great night-adventure places in SF. No doubt.

Slide is great because of the way they run it. Plain and simple. The doormen run the place well. No pain-in-the-ass people get it, if they do, they get kicked out. There is Always a ton of good looking people there. 3:1 girl to guy ratio every time I have been there.

Fantastic layout, visually appealing. The DJ's Slide has really get the people dancing. All sorts of music, very well mixed into dancing and fun.

Cell phone service may be tricky, and as soon as you reach "the surface" you will probably be getting those 15 text messages you were waiting for/not expecting.

When Slide closes, head over to Ruby Skye if it's still raging in there. You only have to walk 20 feet.

One of the only main setbacks I can truly say about Slide, is the dance floor area is just absolutely packed. Between there and the bar. Other than that, get into Slide, it's awesome.

Side is sexy and cool...but the best nights are Thursdays when DJ Donovan does his thing! Perfect way to start your weekend! 6/3/2008 10:18:13 PM
     
       
I just went to Slide for the Sex and the City Party and had a blast! It was a little hot inside considering the amount of people and being such a hot day but a DJ Donovan was amazing as always and a great crowd. 5/20/2008 12:48:49 PM
     
       
Slide is alright. If you ask San Franciscans which club they love/hate the most, they always say Ruby Sky. Everybody loves the music, but sometimes the people are questionable. Slide broke away from this catch 22.

When I first heard of Slide I was concerned with the Ruby Sky connection, plus Bourbon and Branch had just opened with the Speakeasy gimmick. I was finally convinced to check the place out and I was greately impressed. It's an actual dance club, the music is great and the people are awesome. The door guys are the coolest ever and maintain a great ratio inside. The actual slide is sort of lame, but beyond that the place rocks and brings in great talent.

Ever since Slide opened its doors right next to Ruby Skye I have heard rave reviews about it. That is until I went there myself. The club itself is on the small side and gets too packed where you are squeezed tighter than sardines in a can. Offcourse that is not the only fault. The sound system sounds as if it has been taken out of some teenagers room and placed only on one side. If you are looking to go to an upscale place with a top notch ambiance, this is not the place. 5/5/2008 10:44:16 PM
     
       
Great place for a Saturday night. Dance floor did not seem over crowded although there were tons of fun people inside. Apparently a tough door to get into, but I had no problem with an equal guy-girl ratio. Probably the best I have been to in SF. 5/5/2008 8:03:36 PM
     
       
The BEST club period. I cannot stop craving about this spot to anyone who asks me "Which is the spot to be in SF?". Equal guy-girl ratio - A guy's dream especially in North America. Music is always awesome. Bartenders are very receptive and girls are very very friendly ;) 5/3/2008 3:45:44 PM
     
       
Another fun French Tuesdays venue....never been during a weekend, but the slide is great unless you're in a dress 5/2/2008 5:29:32 PM
     
       
Ah, Slide. The "secret" place beneath Ruby Skye, where, as rumours go, you can get by sliding down ... well, a slide. By the way, there are stairs too, for those ladies afraid to get their knickers in the twist.

There's one huge problem with Slide. It has one of the most discriminating door policies in San Francisco. Perhaps the club owners reckon Slide to be a Vegas-style lounge, or a club so stylish people would feel privileged to enter its sacred gate? Alas, it is none of those things.

Unfortunately, once you are successful at passing through the rather impolite bouncers
