Hush Hush Lounge

I miss Hush Hush. From 2002 to 2005 they had a quarter beer night on Fridays, and we use to go… EVERY Friday. That place was the best, the DJ’s were great, and the bartenders were aces. Every generation goes through a significant social period/​experience. Thankfully, I experienced and lived the Hush Hush era… so many great stories.
R.I.P. Hush Hush

Delicious bar snacks, where else can you get a bread tin full of candy corn, Nilla wafers, and BBQ potato chips? Good drink specials, good tunes, and nice video wall. Say hi to Micheal, he is a really nice bartender there.

It was the first time, in a very long time, that I have been sober in a bar, so the score might have been higher if I was drinking, and not sick. Fun dance floor, mirrors are always a plus, because let’s face it, we look good when we are dancing and having fun. Although I did notice that the dance floor is a bit uneven and has a sunken drain in it… which could prove challenging for drunks like me. When the music was good, it was great, when it was bad, it blew. Hard. Too eclectic even for my tastes. But again, when inebriated, everything’s different. Definitely worth another shot.
Also, a chick was there in leather chaps and motorcycle undies. sweet!

Shhhh… it’s hush hush time! How much does this place rock? I first came here a year ago for my best friend’s 23^rd bday and we had a total blast. The best thing about Mission dive bars is, there’s always an available table for you to pile jackets on. Seats are never for sitting down, because dancing to rockin’ music truly is waaaay more fun. The bartender here was hot, but there was only one of him so drinks took awhile. But when it’s your best friend’s birthday, nothing else really matters as long as SHE has a fabulous time, riiight?

what happened to the hush I knew a few years back? the hush that would say to me, «you have a place here if the rest of the world doesn’t want you.» A hush that would open her Pabst filled arms on a Friday afternoon, and hold me till I couldn’t walk… That hush is no more. The hush of today is an impostor. Like the many great gay dive bars that have fallen under new ownership, so too has the hush… in fact, its the same new owner. How dare he touch our private spaces. How dare he corrupt our sacred spots.
I used to drink $ 0.25 PBR’s on fridays till my pants, literally, came off. The crowd was non-​pretentious and carefree, but the crowd has a new look, and its not welcoming. On my last venture in, I quickly walked out, the cheap beer couldn’t make up for the crowd.
I’m sorry our love affair came to an end, but you’re not the person I fell in love with anymore.

Another great, comfortable SF «dive» bar with character (though it wasn’t all that divey) destroyed by new ownership and replaced by a soulless nonentity. Well done, jerks.
BTW, if anyone is interested, I think the guy who used to do the booking at the formerly cool Hush Hush is now the booker over at the Knockout, which used to be the Odeon (yet another SF landmark bar gone but not forgotten).

It used to be a 4-​star place on Fridays with $ 1 pitchers of PBR and all the 80s you could dance to… but NOW it’s under new management and nothing will ever be the same :(No more mass quantities of PBR, no dancing drunkenly to The Cure… What is a girl to do?

For a long long time, my home away from home. It’s crazy some nights, it’s too crowded on Fridays, used to be too crowded on Tuesday too, but now it’s back to a nice comfortable buzz. Good weekday bar.
It’s also a historical monument to many a friend of mine. Find me some Tuesday and I’ll tell you some stories.

Can’t beat Friday’s here! Though for some inexplicable reason, I always seem to get myself in some trouble when the night starts here… Cheers!

Well… hrm. This place was fun, I got a wicked long island iced tea that floored me and i also got a message from the bouncer in the morning asking me if i still wanted to hang out. Uh, so it was fun but so empty on a saturday night that I resorted to flirting with a bouncer wearing a coveralls.

shhhhh… it’s imperative to be quiet to have a good time at the hush hush. that’s why the dj always plays the music at such a low volume and nobody dances. in addition, they usually only serve non-​alcoholic drinks so that people don’t get too loud.
ok, now reverse everything i just wrote…
bet you didn’t see that coming…
pretty cool, huh? just like the hush hush.

Stiff drinks, great music and big comfy booths. What more do you want?
I really like the vibe of the Hush Hush crowd.
Refreshingly, you really don’t see the self-​conscious lookin around to try and judge if this is «the place to be» type here.
Everyone is just there to have a bunch of drinks and a really good time!
Also, one of the bouncers often has his really cute, really sweet, dog, Piglet, with him at the door and you can get some pets and snuggles in with Piglet when you go outside to smoke.

Despite the somewhat isolated location, Hush Hush is a pretty cool bar with decent music on the weekends.

Great music, chill people, and 25cent pbr on friday… nuff said.

This bar is just plain fun, that’s it. I always find myself dancing (which is only possible with really excellent music) with some girl who has a boyfriend or lives an hour south of San Jose, but I really don’t care because I’m always just having a great time when I’m here.

I’ve had some good nights here, and some I don’t remember, it’s probably better that way.

I went for the first time last Friday with some friends for the 25 cent PBRs. It was pretty cool, wasn’t crowded when we got there but started filling up when we left. The DJs play good music that I’ve never heard and I kind of wish I could have taken a look at their set list.

I had a birthday party here a few years ago, the place still rocks, and has some really fresh djs who don’t play the usual crap. Get a booth if you can and watch the hipsters pass by. They have a Friday Happy Hour that will leave you in heaven, if you enjoy your PBR.

It can get crowded, but this is my kind of bar — great round booths for hanging out and a small dance floor to get your groove on. Almost every time I’ve been there, someone has brought instruments to accompany the dj. There’s nothing like dancing with a cowbell…

bud specials at $ 2 per bottle on some nights. Cool people except Sat nights when it’s full of Yuppies.
