    Such a great environment and ambiance to have a drink and relax with friends. Different rooms, events, and activities keep this place interesting and exciting. The staff go above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. The back patio is beautiful as is all the interior decor. Highly recommend.

    Great Experience!!! Hosts Paul, Nate, and Kate made for an exceptional tour this afternoon. The Academy features some well thought, well designed spaces inside and out. Membership and Subscription driven, this private club is an inclusive opportunity to enjoy some of the best living in urban San Francisco.

    My sister hosted her wedding ceremony and reception at the Academy. It is such a beautiful space. The color schemes, decor, and overall ambiance is just luxurious. We used the outdoor area for the ceremony and the upstairs area for the reception both of which were reasonably priced for what we got! We worked with Nate on the booking process and he was great from start to finish. I originally came in with my partner to take a tour and loved the space so much, I called my sister on FaceTime so she could see it too. After, Nate offered to let my sister and me come to the club for a drink so that she could see the club in person before making the decision to book. She loved it, and from there Nate provided us with an estimate and answered all of the questions we had promptly. Nate also reached out to us the week of the wedding to offer us a chance to see a new space they had just in case it rained, which was very thoughtful. He also let us drop the cake off for storage the day before! On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly. The staff checked the guests in, and they had a coat check available which was so convenient. We provided our own plates, flatware, and food. I have to give a special shout-out to the bartender, Arthur (the fifth of his name) who was the coolest person ever. A great balance between friendly and professional. Arthur was extremely thoughtful, funny, and just a pleasure to be around. It felt like he could handle any and everything! I'd highly recommend booking The Academy for your special event!

    Very nice venue. Friendly staff. Patio space was very nice with space heaters for when it turns chilly. There was a nice crowd there, but it managed to feel roomy.

    I recently attended a private event in this space and it was so nice - the ambience was great but also there was so much seating! Which can be a really difficult thing if it's hard for someone to stand for long periods of time. I definitely am interested in attending other events here or possibly reserving part for a private event

    Such a beautiful location, business, and employees. We had the pleasure of holding our Wedding ceremony and celebration party Saturday during PRIDE month. We can't say thank you enough for our special night and the nights we've enjoyed leading up to it. Excited to be members and looking forward to more times with our SF community and visitors to the Club. XoXo Christopher & Durwood
