About DNA Lounge
DNA Lounge is San Francisco's most programmatically adventurous venue — a place where you might find a goth night, a reggae party, an electronic dance event, and a burlesque show within a single week. Since 1985, it has served as a home for every subculture in San Francisco that needed a stage, and its non-judgmental, all-are-welcome philosophy has made it genuinely beloved across the city's diverse communities. DNA Lounge's commitment to live streaming its events made it a pioneer in digital nightlife even before the pandemic.
History
DNA Lounge opened in 1985 in SoMa and has operated almost continuously since, surviving multiple threatened closures through the unwavering support of its community. A major renovation in the early 2000s expanded and improved the space while preserving its essential character.
