French Tuesdays

Great for comic relief. But if you have any sense of self-​worth, you’ll move on to something bigger and better about an hour after staying at one of these pretentious events.
The organizers deserve kudos for cornering the market on newly arrived naïve internationals looking for something to do in the City and who are fully unaware how lame this is. Looking for something remotely French… just walk a couple of blocks to Sutter St. and pick up a $ 4 pastry at La Boulange. Le lost cause.

Pretentious events with FOB people trying to look cool or gold dig.

I will try to make it short. I attended twice, one in SF, one in Paris. Both a complete failure. Their flyer-​email always claims for an exclusive different party but the reality is that the crowd is less that ordinary, with old (at least in the fifties, in Paris) «beautiful» wannabe guys trying to pick up cheap young girls paying Moët Chandon bottles. If you like fake and fake «beautiful» people (as they claim, starting from guy with hat in charge of selection). They should remove French from the name, to show some respect to French people.

Great way to discover new places (venue changes every event) and meet great people!

I’ve had two separate bad experiences with French Tuesdays, and I finally feel they’re due for a review revealing what this event *really* is all about.
I’m baffled at why these parties are even remotely successful.
French Tuesdays force whatever venue they are hosting their party at to jack up the prices of drinks, making the minimum drink price $ 12. Then, French Tuesdays takes all that extra profit from the inflated drink costs at the end of the night. Oh, and they also limit the booze being sold to Moet Hennesey products. Make sure not to ask for beer, because they won’t allow it to be sold at a FT event. Sure, you wont pay cover, but you’ll make up for that when you pay $ 14 for your vodka soda.
I’d like to mention how one of the hosts for FT San Francisco exhibited appalling behavior after getting into an altercation with another female guest last night. Eventually, the argument resulted in him throwing his business card directly in her face.
I have been to one French Tuesdays event as a guest, and I have had the opportunity to work one, being on both ends of the spectrum. I’d have to say that both experiences were equally miserable, but at least when I was a guest I wasn’t physically assaulted by anyone. In the 3 ½ years working in the service industry, I have never encountered a worse, more repulsive and disgusting crowd. I’d rather work at Club 6 or Crash on a Saturday night. It’s quite amusing how they really do a great job of living up to the French stereotype.
Never again.

This is the most fun social networking /​party circuit I’ve found since moving from the east coast! Before I joined FT, I wasn’t ‘feeling it’ out here but, now I have my little groove. One example, this NYE… all of my clients kept commenting about NYE always being «amateur night», «over-​rated» and/​or «over-​priced» so they weren’t getting excited about celebrating the end of the year. I was very excited because I know French Tuesdays always throws a great party… and they did! It was a Moulin Rouge costume party and everything was done perfectly! Champagne was flowing, party favors (top hats and other fun things), photo stations, a wonderful burlesque show, an acrobat, balloon drop, great DJ – everything you could want!
Also, the host and organizer, Khan, is such an amazing person. He’s very welcoming and has a fabulous ability to make everything seem seamless and what attention to detail!
Anyway, every other week it’s a treat to receive my member email inviting me to a new, fun hip spot. I really look forward to it! Thanks FT!

Full Disclosure– I have worked the front door for French Tuesdays for several months.
French Tuesdays is a growing social network and party, thrown every 2 weeks on Tuesdays at different venues around SF. People who go regularly can get a full tour of all the hot clubs in the city.
The crowd is a mix of francophiles, French-​speakers, and those who appreciate a good time with a well-​dressed crowd. There is always lots of dancing, networking, and drinking. I have met many business owners and professionals who are great people and whom I never would have met without French Tuesdays.
Occasionally I have to be very firm with someone at the front door– mostly because they want to come into the party but they did not RSVP! So make sure that you ask a friend of yours who is a member to RSVP you with your full name, or go to
and apply to become a member. you can see lots of photos on the web site and also at
…check out the pics, check out the party, come next Tuesday if you think it is your scene.

great crowd, great champagne, great location, great great great service, great music, great food.
i meet the gentleman that supervise the event last nite…(his name starts with a K) what a great host!
I truly relax.
I am a fan.

French Tuesdays is a club for French enthusiasts in San Francisco, NYC, LA and Miami. It’s every other Tuesday and the venue changes so you need to go to the website to RSVP and find out where the next event is. You need to be a member to get in for free or a guest of a member, however you can pay a fee to go in if you are not a member. The dress code is cocktail and the events go off! They offer light appetizers for about an hour and around 9 PM the DJ begins to play. It’s a great club to belong to because there’s always an event and you’re sure to have a great time whether you are French or not!
