Mighty Nightclub Nightclub

Located a bit northeast of the Mission District, Mighty Nightclub caters to true music and dance fans looking for quality DJ sets. Usually open Thursdays through Saturdays for club nights, Mighty occasionally throws one-off events on other nights of the week.

Most performances at Mighty Nightclub fall into the house, soul, or hip-hop camps, and rave-kid holdovers from the 90s will find plenty of events that suit them.

The small 500-person space has an underground vibe, giving its cool-kid patrons the feeling that they are discovering unknown acts. Two lofty rooms with lounge seating encourage mingling and mighty feats of dancing, while a smaller room features work by local artists.

Club nights at Mighty Nightclub are cover-free before midnight, while shows require tickets, which can be bought in advance on the club’s website or at the door. The website also allows you to get on the guest list for faster admission.

Mighty is cash only, and it is one of the few clubs around that refuses to join the bottle-service crowd.
