26Mix billed itself as San Francisco's first "sound bar" when it opened in early '99 in the Mission. Dedicated to DJ culture, the spacious club features a wide variety of music throughout the week. While certain nights focus on specific genres of music -- house, downtempo, drum and bass -- the club often boasts eclectic DJs that run the gamut from hip-hop to dub reggae to jazzy funk in the course of a single evening. In a truly innovative move that benefits bar patrons and bedroom DJs alike, 26Mix offers an "open deck" happy hour. Here, aspiring sound scientists can sign up to spin and mix their own sonic chemistry as an audience of post-work revelers chills out to the cool sounds and enjoys the bar's drink specials. Though the music is pumped plenty loud for you to groove, it's still possible to carry on a conversation without shouting in your neighbor's ear. 26Mix gives electronic music lovers a hip and friendly hangout with quality sounds and atmosphere.
