Description

Exposed brick walls, soft sofas, and industrial-chic fittings fight for decor prominence in this central SOMA dance club, while moody black-clad swirlers, tough hip-hop dykes, and nostalgic '80s Wavers fight for floor space in the two separate dance areas. But one thing is certain about the Cat Club: While so many new neighborhood venues fight to become mainstream hotspots that draw in rich, suburban weekend warriors, the Cat Club caters to a mostly underground clientele that's usually more gay, goth, or just plain weird than the kids down the street.

Caritas' killer app is its catalog of songs that aren't available as commercial karaoke tracks, including goth favorites like VNV Nation,... More »
2011 | Best Place to Indulge (or Unleash) Your Inner Freak

You don't get to be the city's longest-running BDSM-themed dance party for nothing. That particular illustrious label is earned for welcoming people of all experience levels, abilities, and pain thresholds to get down every Wednesday night until the cows come home (or the cops come knocking), no knots barred. Looky-loos are welcome: visual perverts are invited to kick back and watch the doers if they're not prepared to earn their own stripes -- literally, depending upon the teaser of... More »
2011 | Best '80s Dance Night

Whether you're dying to moonwalk among other music revelers or just want an excuse to dress like film sweetheart Molly Ringwald, your best bet is the Cat Club's Thursday night All 80s dance party (formerly known as the Breakfast Club and 1984). If you arrive before 9:30 p.m., the $6 cover is waived, and all well drinks are only $1 before 10. The best part may be the two DJs spinning different '80s tracks in adjacent rooms, one leaning more toward Cyndi Lauper and the other toward the Cure.... More »
