Ruby Skye

Converted from an elegant 1890s theater, Ruby Skye has retained a good many ornate Victorian touches, while gaining up-to-date sound and lighting systems in the transition. But with its huge dance floor and parade of surgically enhanced women, the scene feels like it's been imported from LA. Not surprisingly, it's a second home for famous EDM DJs from America and Europe. This is the closest you'll get to the classic big-room nightclub experience in San Francisco, complete with VIP room and bottle service. Though the area around the club has declined and can sometimes feel a bit sketchy, you'll feel transported once inside.
