We have missed you and we hope to see you then!

Also, WE'RE HIRING!

COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

During the pandemic, we have brought you a ful year's worth of free webcasts. And as we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we have been doing free DJ parties outdoors in our parklet. Check our calendar for details!

As one of the very few independently-owned, non-corporate-controlled venues remaining in San Francisco, the only way that we have been able to hibernate through this pandemic was with the help of the community that makes this place what it is. Now would be a great time for you to contribute to our Patreon or make a one-time donation to ensure that we will still be around as the world begins to slowly return to normal!

It's not over yet. Don't let DNA Lounge be one of the COVID-19 fatalities...

DNA Pizza Delivers

DNA Pizza is open for pick-up and delivery! Authentic New York-style thin crust pizza; vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options! Plus tater tots, nuggets, wings and other delicious fried items. And most importantly...

WE DELIVER COCKTAILS!

Fri Oct 22 Weathers
Weathers! Rock! Weathers' darkly tinged, guitar-driven alt-rock songs like "Happy Pills" and "American Dream" paint a vivid picture of young people who "can't function without weed" struggling not only to find jobs, but also an identity. "Happy Pills" is an ironic indictment of dependency, as is "Sucker," which posits that lust for another person can be just as destructive as a lust for money or drugs if you're not confident in yourself.

Thu Nov 4 Haru Nemuri
Haru Nemuri! J-Pop! Haru Nemuri fearlessly grinds the lines between J-pop, rap, electronica, and hard rock Imagine if Grimes was Japanese and performing with her finger in an electronic socket and it all took place inside a video game. Everything is blown-out to a widescreen post-rock scope yet feels jarringly immediate. Her tracks are grounded in rock but often incorporate elements of hiphop and electronic music, and her vocal delivery moves from delicate spoken word to primal screams.
