Now for a brief and sexy Q+A
What age do you have to be to enter the Red Devil Lounge?
A. 21. Sorry, kids. I know its a bummer. And we check ideas like crazy. Even if you are really, really old.
Where should I park?
A. Parking on Polk Street can be a little tricky, but there a garage conveniently located one block south of us on California St between Polk and Van Ness. We encourage cabs, public transpo, walking here when you can.
How do I get advance tickets to a show?
A. We sell tickets in advance through Ticketfly. You can also purchase tickets at the door on the night of the show. Please note we do not hold any box office hours. You can also purchase tickets over the phone at 1-800-877-4-FLY-TIX.
What are the VIP accommodations there?
A. Thanks for asking! We offer various packages on tickets to special events here. You can skip the line, reserve a table, and save some dough on ticketing fees if you e-mail us at reddevilbooking@me.com and let us know what show you wish to see. We also offer larger VIP packages where you can rent the entire mezzanine section of the club with a group of friends (up to 60 people). Pricing varies per event.
What’s the dress code?
A. Come on. We aren’t a dress code type place. Some folks dress up, some dress down. Consider us open minded to your clothing selections.
How do I book my band at the Red Devil?
A. Booking inquiries can be sent to the ‘contact’ page on this site. As a general rule, we book bands with a preexisting history in SF and a proven track record of strong shows. We aren’t a ‘bar’ where everyone shows up no matter what. We are event driven by the promoters, bands and people who throw parties here.
Why is it called the Red Devil Lounge? Do you worship Satan?
A. No. Well, most of us don’t.
Are you a goth club?
A. No! But we’d love to have Siouxsie and the Banshees play here, so if you are her manager, call us.
Do you serve food?
A. Right now, we only serve food on Tuesdays, when the delicious Bahn Mi Love You Long Time comes in to cook up delicious sandwiches which sell out each time. Tuesdays are also our weekly awesome Open Mic, hosted by KC Turner. Come on down at 7p and join us for this fun evening.
I have a metal band from Modesto. Can we play there?
A. No.
Come on, we rock. Please?
A. No!
