Hip-hop, funk, house, techno and rock can all be heard on different days, and theme nights expand the options, as you'll find if you stumble across '80s retro night or a fetish event. Generally, the tamer music can be found in the front room, and the more experimental stuff in the back. A large bar also makes getting a drink fairly painless.

415-441-5678 | | | | | Description: UNION SQUARE. The Cellar, with its dim, underground ambience, ably lives up to its name.

Music styles include jazz, soul, and Latin.
