San Francisco’s DNA Lounge offers everything, it seems. A full service kitchen serves Mexican food, while computers are made available throughout the club that features a wireless network as well. There is a main stage and a second stage that boasts its own sound system, and there are three bars.

Operating as DNA since November of 1985, the club has had a number of notable owners including Rob Schneider, but is now in the hands of the tech-savvy and fascinating Jamie Zawinski. (Blog)

DNA hosts all sorts of events from fashions shows to dance parties to live music.

Live events are webcast in audio and video. If you’d like to have a look at what’s going on in there, you can here. Any time the club is open, 10 video cameras inside go live in rotation over the web and you can hear the audio from the sound system.

Where else can you preview a night out like this?

    Favorite stage to perform on in an SF Club, hands down…no split down the middle so that you have to watch the cracks while dancing, high enough for the entire room to see the performance, large enough to fit a good sized dance troupe without overcrowding, and a nice little backstage area upstairs. LOVE it.

    Looks like a great wildlife spot; wonder if I could sneak a camera in there!
