The Valencia Room

Venturing into this haunt, one might think they've stumbled into a glitzy trap designed to empty pockets with the finesse of a pickpocket in a crowded square. Dubbed a night club, yet better described as a Broadway show of consumer exploitation, the establishment charges a king's ransom for the mere privilege of stepping over its threshold.

The swashbuckling security team could teach the TSA a few tricks, employing pat-downs that suggest an imminent rendezvous with royalty rather than a dance floor. Inside, a mirage of exclusivity shimmers through aggressive bottle service hustles and VIP table bait-and-switch tactics that would make even a seasoned con artist blush.

The audacity to charge cover fees equivalent to a small fortune, then pile on additional fees as if patrons are merely ATMs, is truly a masterclass in daylight robbery without the mask. Sparing no detail, this place also specialises in the magical vanishing act of ins and outs--step outside and it's another cover charge to re-enter, as if the club was a realm of no return. In short, while this venue may masquerade as a palace of night-time splendour, the reality is it's a court of miserly jesters, where the joke is unfortunately on the patro

Extremely aggressive staff and security all because two friends asked to get a refund because they didn't accept Apple Pay inside the bar. When I told them that we had a card and there was no problem the security pushed us out to the point where one of my friend is hospitalized.

The ambiance was unwelcoming and rude. People were super obnoxious... glad we didn't go in and hope that the people involved in hurting my friend is taken care of. Be safe y'all

I went with my friend here for a girls night and it wasn't bad. The music was good it was reggaeton night I think because that's all I heard that night. It wasn't really a club to me it gave more of a bar vibe which I really liked ! I'd go back again!!

Made me never wanna go to a club again! If I can even call it a club!!! It was a 20$ fee to get in, only stayed for 1hr and the music was really wack. The dance floor felt like it was going to break at any moment. Had tequila shots and they served out cheap bottom shelf sh*t. The people in there felt too young to be in there. only highlight of that place was the photo mirror they had.

One of the WORST club experiences. Avoid at ALL costs, especially if you're a female. I seen a male security guard drag a girl out because one of their server boys pushed her out the way. She almost fell back to the point of her falling. I tried to explain to the manager that she shouldn't have been kicked out but they really didn't care. Male security WILL put their hands on you (male or female) without holding their own staff accountable. To the Latin guy who helps the bottle girls, you really SUCK for that. I'll be telling all my friends and family to AVOID, AVOID, AVOID this place at all costs. Security sucks, drinks are expensive. And talk about a power trip on all levels. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE!

ghetto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expensive!!!!
sometime that's what make a club fun. Dj is mostly good, but there are some bad ones

unsafest place ever!!! my fiance talked to the security and he ignored her and made her feel SUPER UNSAFE!!

This bartender is fast like the flash the party is good! His name is Jaime the drink was amazing

Came here walking around the area and ran into this bar, it was initially kinda dead but once we walked in Austin the bartender was quick to greet us and make the vibe. (He made our experience so much better)

I asked him to make me something light and I ended up
With a vodka lemonade/sparkling water. Very yummy, he nailed it!

Loved the music in here, dim-good vibes. Not from here but I would come back.

Please listen carefully I have been an avid night club goer for many years.
I remember this place when it was called the Elbo Room and had many good times there.
But whoever bought this place and turned it into the Valencia Room.
IMO they are running hard nose clip joint format embodied at this establishment a complete 180 from what many other SF night clubs represent.
reminds me of some watered down wanna be mafia ran clip joint scenario from over the top absorbent cover charges online girl promo pictures bait and switch pushy promoter mentality trying so hard to be exclusive pushing bottle service VIP table prodding in this little place without having anything exclusive.
Regular practice of credit card over charging applying tip to credit bill even when tip is paid in cash and any charges they can up charge on plastic, security that have something to prove very bios using the dress code tactic hard for bios reasons door staff are instructed to purposely hold the cattle line at the door when no one is actually inside the club just one bartender tons of security like they are running fort Knox but it is just an illusion.
The old tricks of prohibiting any ins and outs in order to clip you for another cover charge while your friends are inside even with running wristbands TSA style pat downs at the door like they are used to catering to gangsters or expecting serious problems from all customers seriously wanting or expecting this kinda clientele limited access multiple cover charges once inside.
if the administration of this establishment actually did there home work before opening they would know this type of formula of business is played out bridge and tunnel no amount of slick promo is going to cover up this formula of operation really I don't know how people think this is a real honest representation of a business model here in SF maybe at some tackie shopping mall night club somewhere with no culture but in reality this is a perfect example of a get something for nothing philosophy and the type of place that strips this city down of any cultural significance a downward spiral negative side of what things have become here..
I have seen this all before but not to this extreme here in SF they are not running a place where everything in the club is gold platted but will squeeze you for $13 bucks on a bottle of cheap Mexican beer.
unless you want to pay a ton of extra money and like being treated like a piece of meat it would be best to avoid this place all together nothing but over the top attitude and scams tailor designed to get every dollar from you they can with minimum aptitude in the service or entertainment industry to put it lightly there is no Grandsure or Palace Elegance Here to warrant the price and cost of everything here you can go to a much more prestigious place at this price point.
But don't take my honest opinion experience what a real clip joint is for yourself just be ready to empty your wallet while being treated like dog dew in the process this is the last place you will want to spend your hard earned money at.
