Our website is: www.diegosumbrella.com111 Minna is an art gallery/bar/nightclub. We've been here 10 years, serving up a unique atmosphere in which to enjoy art, music, film, drinks, and whatever else happens to be the celebration or occasion of the day or night. We are in the business of Art & Leisure.
4.0 of 5 stars.
If there's only one reason to visit 111 Minna (though in my opinion, there's more), it's to check out their monthly event, Sketch Tuesday. If you're a fan of art, sick beats, and cool vibes... you'll...

Pretty cool formerly "underground" spot. It might be getting too big for it's own good though.

I remember 111 Minna when is it just the room with the big dragonfly. It was very underground; most people didn't know about. Now it's one of current flavor of cool places to hang out. Wednesday after work...

Too bad about the popularity of this place -- it gets some of the best DJ talent around. I'd like to know why SF programs the best stuff in its most odious, crushed-in places -- I'll never see my heroes if...
