to be broken and NItevibe can show you how. Check

Event: Voda
Venue: Voda (56 Belden place @ Bush)
Dj's: TK Disco (Travis)
Music: house

Uber-modern downtown vodka bar Voda is a couple
steps ahead of many venues that claim an upscale ‘ultra lounge’
status. While it has a New York feel with its contemporary
design, it lacks NYC’s and LA’s “better than thou” pseudo
high-class attitude. Creating a perfect bar is a little like
creating a perfect vodka martini, a splash of upbeat groovy
house combined with a friendly vibe emanating from a polished
crowd. DJ Travis brings it all from funk to house. (JM) |

Worldwide takes over Thursday night with a packed house
of the coolest party people in San Francisco and believe me,
they are no wallflowers. The beat is bumpin and the dancers
are on it. Hear 3 of my favorite Djs infuse house with Afro,
Latin and Brazilian flavors. The spot is all steamed up with
a sexy atmosphere by midnight! (JP) |
