Went back with my boyfriend recently to taste the new Spring Menu! Excellent! I just love this place. Exquisite food, drinks, AND customer service. You just cant go wrong with The Reserve.

Great service! Excellent staff. Warm water.

Great place in the mission for a drink, atmosphere and some early-evening entertainment. Nicest door people of any bar. Not much in the way of food, bring it in from the Torta shop across the street.

Contemporary, modern, sleek. If none of those words appeal to an atmosphere youre fond of, Id suggest going elsewhere. This place gives me a NYC loft-like feel, with brick walls, large floor to ceiling windows, and plenty of low-to-the-ground seating. Fireplaces that seem to be floating, as they dont touch the ground, but are hanging from the very high ceiling-- probably one of my favorite decor choices in this place.

Eleni is the best server ever! She is so thoughtful about the best way to order and makes sure your table gets all the best things. The food here is really good, especially the beef pasteles, and Eleni helped us pick the best things.

The Reserve had good service and it was a cute little bar. They make their own soda which was tasty. Their avocado and cheese dip with chips was very good. However, the main courses were overpriced, NOT good (especially for the price), and the portions were WAY too small. I ordered the yellow fish ceviche and is was NOT good. It was 8 pieces of fish with some slices of veggies. My friends were with me and ordered different courses. They also were not satisfied.

The Reserve was the perfect space for our event! The Reserve made the planning of our event so easy, going above and beyond our expectations. The space lent a great vibe and all of our guests loved it!We will definitely look at having another event at The Reserve in the future!

Came here for happy hour after work and absolutely LOVED this place!! Its super affordable and so convenient after work! I love coming here to wind down after a long day :)

Cool dive bar in the Valley. Went here after dinner for a quick drink. You have to order at the bar. The place is located in a shopping mall and is very unassuming. There are darts and games. Cool spot to hang out.

Yes, this place is a good setting to meet friends because of its atmosphere; floating fireplaces and modern lighting....the question is: Is this place worth spending your hard earned resources? San Francisco has a lot of cool places, why this one aside from obvious impressive appearances?

This place is a gem! The coconut rum drink is not to be missed. The apps were all good. Mafe and didi were all very delicious. Service was great! Get there early or make a reservation!

Just came here this weekend. I dont go out to clubs often so take my review as you wish. I gave it 3 stars because some of the music in the first room was not very danceable. There are 3 different dance floors, each with its own bar. One of the rooms played oldie R&B, one of them played Hip Hop/Rap, and The third played like pop music. Overall it was cool. The line wasnt too long to get in. I got there after 11:00pm so I had to pay $10. The parking however, was such a hastle.

Last night was my first time in this place and I really enjoyed it. The interior was super upbeat- cool music, friendly staff, diverse crowd, and great cocktails selections. I will be back soon!

One of my favorite restaurants in the city for sure! Love their cocktails def worth checking out. Owner is awesome too, highly recommend!

The Reserve is apparently a Senegalese restaurant by day, and a nightclub by night. I went for an hour, maybe two, on the tail end of a Saturday night, and found the place pretty intriguing. It felt festive and fun, with a pleasant hominess to the decor that made sense given its day job.

I went to the new location first and had to come check out the original. It is so consistantly. Amazing food. Friendly people. Great parking behind the building. A bit smaller and 21+. The pot roast French dip was amazing!!! If you are close, you have to come check it out!

Perfect for a date night! Loved the ambience/decor, and the food was also pretty good. However, there wasnt that many selections on the menu. They do have a wide selection of wine though.

Despite the reviews, I still went here due to proximity. I live at the Avalon so this is about a block away. Ive been here a handful of times.. Pretty nice place for SF. Awesome furnishings and lighting.

Tonssss of games! Pool, darts, beer pong, shuffle board. Super fun! And lots of drink options. This is a great place to go to actually have a good time and not just stand around at a bar or club.

Tasty, exotic food. Good service. The tables smelled pretty bad right after they opened, so they probably use some really nasty cleaning supplies. But that smell went away within a half an hour.

This place is a gem! The coconut rum drink is not to be missed. The apps were all good. Mafe and didi were all very delicious. Service was great! Get there early or make a reservation!

Had a lovely Sunday Brunch at Ocean View this past Sunday. The Crab Cakes Benedict was delicious and the 2 for 1 Bloody Marys were delightful.

Its deceiving at first but dont let that fool you. When you walk in it looks like a small bar with just the bar and a few tables but theres a hallway that leads to the back. You feel like youve just passed through tunnel that leads to New Orleans outdoor patio area with plenty of seating and a bar. Its beautiful with a fountain in the middle and a little stage in the front with a wooden bench swing. There are couches in the back where you can hang with your mate or with a group. You really feel like youre in New Orleans. You must try the hurricane. Its not to sweet or sour but enough of those will kick you in the rear. The beignets are awesome with the chocolate jam they serve on the side. The jumbelaya was ok.

This is one of my favorite bars in the city - esp. on Wednesdays night for happy hour. Great music (house/trance) and always good looking crowd on Wednesdays. Other nights its fun to go check out the different arts with friends over drinks.

Whats up with the egg rolls? How do I get them? Saw them, missed them, looked delish!

Came here during happy hour and service was impeccable! I was never without a drink and multiple servers checked in to see if everything was okay. Appreciate that level of customer service especially in LA where restaurant service is usually under par.

Good music and affordable drinks. After 10pm on the weekends the place gets packed and the dancing begins.

My phone was stolen few days back and I tried to contact you by phone and email but never heard back from you guys.I also have the full details around which the incident happened. It is just between 10 minutes of time or around 5 minutes. Let me know if you want to check the footage I can give you the details.

The security is very rude if youre black. They wont let you in if you dont follow their dress code. Even if youre presentable and well put together.

Wednesday nights in SOMA are centered around Minna happy hour. Its decent, crowd is Marina/Northbeach professional scene. Its kinda fun. I wouldnt go for any other night than Wednesday at Minna, Ive had terrible experiences there.

This place has a problem with pick pocketers, I’ve known several people to get there phones stolen myself included. Just be aware and keep and eye on your things.

Very Nice place, we stop at that place when we where on vacation, great time in downtown of L.A

I like this place for its artwork, hardwood floors, chill environment, casual to dressy attire, and DJs. It wasnt too packed where you couldnt dance. The music was awesome!!! I only did not like how bboys tried to overtake the dance flloor.

Excellent service and great drinks! Highly recommend the four star google review. Everything ordered by our group was very well liked.

Horrible place. I bought tickets at the door and they charged me $100 more than they were suppose to! It was suppose to be $75 for two people, which is $150 instead they charged me $250!!!! I’ve been calling and calling, sending them emails and got no response!

I like this spot with two rooms. The drinks are decent. The crowd picks up later.

Fun and great place to spend the night with friends.This place have a fantastic vibe.I’ll celebrate future events in this fantastic venue.

Let me preface by saying, I had a great time with my friends and the DJ was great. However, the staff has a lot of work to do. First, we had signed up on the guest list and their website stated if we arrived before 11, we would get in for free. Well, we arrived at 10:45 and were told that we had to pay $5. By all means, I dont mind paying $5, but its the lies and false information presented by the location that upsets me. Well, I paid and got my hand stamped and walked to the dance floor. There is zero reception in the dance floor/ bar areas so I found myself stepping out to communicate with friends who were on their way and the staff were incredibly rude when I needed to talk to my friends. Do they not realize there is zero reception and people need to communicate with folks? And that if my friends cant find me, they cant come in and thus cannot spend money on drinks? Long story longer, they need to do better. There is no reception, but the DJ was poppin.

Super cool venue with great DJs. Always a solid choice for a night out.

This place was so much fun! They have the best music ever. The cover fee is usually 10 dollars or if you get on the guest list its free. They have good drinks, and places to sit. Loved it!

My friend and I both got our phones stolen!!

Too many fights. Need security upgrade.

Awesome ambiance, great music, strong drinks!

Nice place to go on a Friday night...hip hop/r&b one room and pop/Latin/hip hop in the other

Beautiful venue built inside an old bank headquarters. Multiple vaults, exposed concrete, and safe deposit boxes line the walls. The bar in the dividing vault is a work of art. Drinks were well made. Im a whiskey guy, but they had fancy cocktails available as well. Only downside to the venue is you are in a vault which makes cell service unreliable. This is a review for the venue, not an event there.

I have been to a number of late night spots in LA and this is by far the worst place I have ever been to. Security is constantly trying to scam you out of your money and the bartenders will use any excuse to push premium bottles on you without consent. Avoid The Reserve at all costs.

It is always a great experience at The Reserve.Wednesday with Live Music.Thursdays with Special EventsFriday and Saturdays to get your boogie on with a Nightclub feel!Definitely check this place out...

Main reason why i liked this place was for the great drinks and great music. Plus tonight i got to see ty dolla sign.. i must say horrible service from that bartender on the latin side the girl with the bun. Made our cadillacs tasted like sour juice tbh. I never like to make a scene drama etc.. but this was wrong had to say something. Bartender pretty much didnt care. Manager took forever to locate.. horrible experience will never go back again period.

What a horrible experience. This place is discriminating and injustice. They let my boyfriend enter this place, pay a cover and within 5 minutes of being at this facility they kicked him out. My boyfriend has a disability, he suffers from narcolepsy. It is understandable because most people are not aware of narcolepsy and do not know the precautions, so I went to Daniel Abergo head of security to explain the situation and gave him awareness on the disability my boyfriend suffers from. He asked us for medical records to prove of this disability- when we showed him the medical record he looked at it and still kicked us out. He did not care. I asked him that maybe he should leave a list of disabilities at the door that are not welcome at Reserve, he said that would be a long list ... wow I was stunned of the discrimination. Not only did they embarrassed us but they stole from us. It is sad to see that something like this can happen in California, we are suppose to be different and not judge and accept all kinds of people.We will not be coming back to Reserve. They should really educate their staff and security on people who do suffer from a disability. And not to run off topic, but maybe they should have their security trolling for the men on the dance floor groping women than trolling for an innocent bystander dancing in the corner with no one around. #justsayin

They let woman run the door. They act off emotion. Denied me bcuz I was black. Denied me bcuz i was to confident. Told be to behave like a animal

Very cool underground type club with cubby holes and tables everywhere. I went for Grammy after party so I think it was arranged differently than usual. It worked out better than I thought and had a good time.

Great for BIG events!

Went in for the first and last time, the man didnt know how to make a whiskey sour. By the second time I just told em to give me a shot.

The night began well. Good crowd w/good vibes until 11 p.m., then you had the P-Diddy wannabe, self proclaimed rock stars rolling in who jumped over the counter for a drink (motivated to impress the half naked female bartenders). Such heroic shenanigans concluded my night at 11:30 p.m. To accomedate the guests, I would recommend the facility to hire better bartenders/DJ and invite the ladies to just focus on mingling with the crowd behind the bar (instead of serving drinks). Also for the sake of over priced drinks eliminate the entry fee.Given the potential, I wish the owner(s) & staff of the facility best of luck.

The place to be on friday night. Pop, rnb and hip hop and fine women

I went for Hyphy Night the other week and got there super late and the energy was still upbeat!!! Everyone was dancing and vibing and I had an absolute blast.

The most hideous experience I have ever had at a night club. Cool vibe but the music and staff were both something better avoided.

Cool staff, gorgeous place and awesome DJs!! There is no cellphone reception as its located inside the first original Bank Of America from 1932... However, the venue provides a free wifi under The Reserve with no password needed! ;)

Bought tickets and stayed over 1 hour in line cause the club was full... worst new year ever

The bank vault vibe was cool. Went here for a concert though and the sound is terrible. Probably doesnt help that the walls, floor and ceiling are all either concrete or metal. Id like to go back and check out the other areas of the club though!

Awesome ambiance with 3 dedicated dance floors. Great DJ too !

I wanted to like it, came in a suit and tie, cool building, bad music, then I paid 13 bucks for an old fashioned and it was in a plastic glass. Boom! just dropped to 50%. Then in the back room, 2 girl djs started spinning some Burningman dirt and they were tearing it up! Maybe it was a 20 minute guest appearance. They were all of a sudden replaced by 4 Jazzy Jeff looking kooks spinning wheels of dookie. Ruined it! Such and upscale, great building full of un-downtown kooks that dont even own suits or have ever had a drink in a glass. The djs should be in weed stores on Venice boardwalk. Sorry you guys, step it up like 900 steps and you would be golden. Get it, like the gold under the floor? Seriously, step it up, make downtown better.

Its cool, once or twice

Usually play hip hop, with two dance floors.

I GOT A FREE LAP DANCE

Extremely rude staff, would not recommend and will never come back.

DON’T COME HERE!!! As an Angelino who is always out and about believe me they are way better clubs / lounges in LA. To start with the line was ridiculous. The drinks are insipid and inconsistent. The music and atmosphere is blah. Worse of all the staff is rude. I’ve never been treated so rudely. I was sitting down in a table with a friend when a buss boy came over and started clearing the table as if they were going to use it for bottle service however it was not communicated to us. Minutes later a hostess comes by with a group and tells me to move. She said she was so and so and that she could kick me out. What happened to customer service??? I paid to be there like anybody else and was consuming so I should’ve not been spoken to in that way. I understand how bottle service works and if I would’ve been spoken to in a professional and courteous manner I wouldn’t be writing this review today. The staff needs better training and communication skills. I left because like I said they are so many places to go to in LA. I will not support or spend money in an establishment who doesn’t train their staff or care about the customers. I spoke to Jamie, a manager but she didn’t do anything about it.

Of average size but decent

Had a company party here, the venue is stuffy, claustrophobic and hard to exit out of. Did not enjoy it much at all.

The staff was hospitable decoration is nice.

Hip Hop on Saturdays !

Beautiful spot...

Fun!

Coo underground club.

Overly crowded and took forever to get drinks.

Very rude and overpriced. Do yourself a favor and dont go to this club.

Great service

I had a blast there...

Very welcoming .
