VERSO

Nice place. Seems like a new venue. Not a lot of people. But loved the location and the space.

Went here for NYE and had a blast! The space and sound were both great. I also loved that you can move in between the forgery and verso to get nice cocktails and dancing in one night! Will definitely be back.

I typically don’t go to clubs in the city but I had a few friends that heard about this place and wanted to check it out. It’s a little hard to find at first but just tell them you’re going to Forgery and you will be fine. I absolutely loved this place with the best service, perfect mix of 20 to 30 somethings looking to have a good time and to top it off had a great DJ playing. I also love the fact that you can be at a club one second then walk next door to a bar if you want something a little more chill. Since I’ve been I’ve noticed that they have been booking some great talent and am bummed I couldn’t make it to see Four Color Zack! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Horrible experience all around. I’ve never been to a place so dead in my life. Thank god I didn’t have to pay for cover. I would have been so angry.
To top it off, it was insanely hard to find. Our friend had to tell us it was next to Forgery.
I think it has potential, but they need to market it better.
The only good part was probably the bouncers were actually nice and friendly.

Came here for a friend’s birthday, and was suuper confused if I was at the right spot since they didn’t have a sign. TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER, AND NOT THINK YOUR UBER DRIVER IS DROPPING YOU OFF AT A RANDOM LOCATION LIKE I DID, LOOK FOR THE FORGERY SIGN. Verso is to the right of it. We reserved the whole entire upstairs, which made the experience a 4 star.
The crowd is mostly people in their late 20’s to early 30’s. Good variety of hip-​hop, throwbacks, edm, and top 40s. I may be biased since liquid courage was involved, and we had the whole upstairs, but while reading the other reviews, I do agree that if you don’t have bottle service it could get a little awkward. People aren’t as intimate or should I say ratchet here. I would only come here for a company or birthday party.

LOLOLOL WAT IS THIS PLACE?
My friends and I are still confused. It seems to be half function area, half wanna be club. My friends and I rolled up with tickets to see the Lost Kings and were excited to dance and chill when our über pulled up in front of ‘The Forgery’… VERSO and The Forgery are apparently one and the same.
Our hearts dropped.
What was this fancy place filled with thirty-​somethings in formal attire? Surely not the club we bought tickets to! Alas it was! In love with the Lost Kings and for the pursuit of a good Saturday night we entered unfazed, but it only got weirder. Inside everyone was far apart from one another and it was a weird mix of bearded-​millennial plaid-​wearing late-​twentysomething tech worker men in groups and then fancy girls in dresses dancing with themselves. As for the DJs, they were there — and great, but no one was even facing toward them.
…Maybe we just need to drink a bit we thought. So we headed for the bar. Easy to order, we figured shots were the most efficient way to cure our feelings of awkwardness. Three tequilas please. «That’ll be $ 33» ALKDJFALKJFLKALSJ. Needless to say it wasn’t even fancy tequila, it was suuuuper weird. The cocktail specials were $ 8, so how do shots cost more? I don’t know. But they did. Total bananas.
We headed back out to the dance floor determined to make the best of our tickets and now shot-​charge, but it was a losing battle. The weirdness only got weirder. It really felt like a squad of Facebook interns had accidentally crashed a very formal wedding party. We kept thinking it would get better, but it never did.
After about an hour we gave up and headed home.
1 star because the DJ set was on fleek, but take away all the stars because this place is more confused than a liberal arts grad living at home again wondering whether studying sociology was a good idea.
Don’t go here unless your company’s having an event or you’re apparently getting married.

Jukely said the event would start at 9, so I got there at 9. that was way too early, so I was hanging out at Forgery, the bar next door, for an hour. Their events start at 10PM. This club is owned by former mayor of SF, current Lt. Governor, and Cali Governor hopeful GAVIN NEWSOM! I know he is a businessman. Unfortunately, I hear and see that this is not very successful right now. It’s a smaller club. It’s lit well. They have a lot of reserved seating for drinking and a full bar. I was there from 10 – 10:30 on Thanksgiving weekend. There were 5 other people and a bunch of people working there. I bet more people came later. I wasn’t digging the DJ, so I left. I’d give it a try again. They should have built a stage, so that they had the option to stage some rock bands or singers. That would be more appealing than second-​rate electronic music.

Stopped by this past weekend with some friends and I was quite impressed. Situated right next door to Forgery and owned by the same group, Verso is very unassuming. From the street it just a big black recessed entryway with blue lighting. I actually had Eventbrite tickets so I’m not sure what the standard process is for getting in but they just quickly checked our tickets and coat check is free! What a win! They would probably benefit from separating out the cashier window from the coat check window to be more efficient though.
The venue itself has exactly that converted warehouse feel. It’s not pretentious but the design feels very deliberate. There’s exposed brick and steel beams everywhere you look, giving it a clean industrial look. You can have table service on the main floor or in the balcony above. The footprint of Verso is actually quite small, though it wasn’t particularly crowded so that wasn’t much of an issue. I thought it would be difficult to get drinks since there’s only one bar, but it ended up not being a problem. The bar itself is also more similar to a cocktail lounge than your typical night club, which is a nice touch.
Overall, the experience at Verso was really great. Even the bouncers were really considerate! I would suggest grabbing drinks next door before coming in though because for the same price, you can get much more than your typical well drinks.

Cool new venue in town! They have bottle service upstairs and down stairs. Nice and clean. It’s not as big as temple but I hope this place becomes super popular.
Only one bar, but the place isn’t super packed yet so ordering drinks doesn’t take long. We saw lost kings. Really good!

Came to see Long Jawn who I have seen several times before. We definitely did not get to hear what we came for, which was a big disappointment. Where’s the state of the art sound system? I have heard Long Jawn blow the roof off of much smaller venues. Not cool Verso. Not cool.

Great venue.
I produced a product launch for one of my clients last week, and was very pleased with the venue, their staff and on-​site capabilities.
I worked closely with Verso’s event management team Ashley and Lauren on the project, and they were a pleasure to work with. They were both very helpful in accommodating multiple site visits, custom drink menu’s and catering to last minute requests coming in from the client.
At the end of the day, my client was very happy with the venue and the project which is always music to my ears. Needless to say, I will definitely work at Verso again — and recommend this venue for private events and functions.

Went to the opening for this club on Friday night. Great space, good mix of Top 40 and dance music. Lighting yielded great photos of me and my girlfriends.
