i've only been here for clubs and such. is a pretty small venue, but a lot bigger than you would expect from seeing only the outside. there are two different rooms and when i went one dj in each. there is also art work on the wall that is pretty interesting to look at. its changes all the time so there is always something to talk about.

Normally I go to 111 Minna on their Wednesday night Happy Hour from 5:30 pm - 10 pm and I have to say, the crowd here is generally pretty chill compared to most other bars/clubs in SF. For those who say 111 Minna is too superficial, you haven't been to the Bubble Lounge, the North Beach bar scene or even the Marina. Clubs around there are FILLED with yuppies and superficial people. 111 Minna, on the other hand, has a combination of everything, from the enterpreneurs to art students at Academy of Art and the like art schools to the indie crowd to people who work in the financial district to oddball types to people who like to dance in general.
I was reading reviews on this site and I must say, that on the Qool Happy Hour on Wednesdays, there is NO dress code whatsoever. You can even wear sneakers and no one will mind. Plus, a $5.00 cover charge is pretty sweet.
For the reviewer before me who said the bartenders are rude, let me put it this way... They are among some of the coolest bartenders I've met. One time I was waiting for more than 15 minutes for a drink and one of the bartenders apologized for having me wait so long to order something, that he asked me to pay just $4.00 instead of the $8.00 I would have paid for the ticket (probably was a Long Island or Scotch).
One of the specialities of 111 Minna is that on its Wednesday happy hour, some of the best electronica music is played. From DJ Spesh to Jerry Bonham (on occasion) to DJ Hoj, the progressive house music that's spun here is AWESOME.
Plus, going to Qool Happy Hour on Wednesdays, there's usually a pretty decent crowd of women so the chances meeting a single woman at 111 Minna are greater than the Bubble Lounge or the Marina bars.
One last comment... The Qool Group that puts on the music at 111 Minna, they were there at the September '06 Love Parade. Therefore, if you liked the Love Parade, you'll love the crowd at 111 Minna.
Pros: Great social scene, easy to walk to if taking BART
Cons: Any superficial person who enters 111 Minna

as a club/bar, this place is pretty cool. It is spacious, has plenty of seating if you go at a reasonable time, cool modern-artsy vibe, trendy & goodlooking people, and potent drinks. The only drawback is that the bartenders are not very friendly and take forever to serve you...this is coming from a 20 something girl.
Pros: spacious, cool people, good music
Cons: bartenders and staff are not friendly, attentive

Ive been going to 111 for the last 10yrs. Cant say enough good stuff about the place. It's been a hub of the art and music scene in SF since before I started going. They host all sorts of events: films, art openings, djs, bands, you name it. Its constantly changing, and different every night of the week. Some nights are off the hook, and other nights are totally chill. If you show up on a packed night and it can be hard to get a drink Other nights are mellow and you can visit with the staff, who have been there for YEARS. (Getting to know the staff on slower nights can make it easier to get a drink when its packed- shhhhh!!! The ONE jerk that WORKED there is GONE!) Check their website or call to see if the vibe du jour is what youre looking for...
Pros: staff, clientelle, environment
Cons: sometimes unpredictab, sometimes busy, sometimes quiet

111 Minna could possibly be the worst bar in San Francisco. My night there consisted of a long line at the door, rude workers, snobby people who think they are fashionable, and a ridiculously high cover. This bar was TOO crowded- and in combination with the lack of bar tenders- my party waited 40 minutes to get a drink. A special thanks to the coat check jerk who wouldnt let me back in after I put my foot outside for a split second even though all my friends were still inside. The moral of this story-- I will not be going back to 111 Minna- EVER.

Highly recommended for those who need a change from the drudgery of club life. The Long Island Ice Teas are the best I've ever had!
Pros: Long Island Iced Tea
