A new chapter is opening with THE BUDDA night club 333 11th street San Francisco CA \u2014 a new club bringing energy, culture, and unforgettable nights to the city.<\/p>\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t just another venue, it\u2019s a movement. Lock in, stay tuned, and prepare yourself\u2026 THE BUDDA is coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mack is a successful independent hip-hop artist with more than 160,000 followers on YouTube and over 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. His best-known songs include \u201cTwerk,\u201d which has been viewed some 3.5 million times on YouTube alone, and \u201cGet Ya Mind Right,\u201d which also boosts more than a million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear at this point whether The Budda will be primarily a hip-hop venue or one that hosts different kinds of music.<\/p>\n
The Budda takes over the spot that YOLO filled for some four years. The EDM\/hip-hop club got its start right in 2021, right as COVID pandemic restrictions on live music venues began to ease up, and shuttered its doors in spring 2025.<\/p>\n
YOLO, of course, followed the lengthy run of Slim\u2019s, the Boz Scaggs-owned nightclub that opened in 1988 and went on to host such fantastic acts as the Throwing Muses, Jayhawks, Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, Foo Fighters, Hole and the Lemonheads over the years.<\/p>\n
The club closed in March 18, 2020. That was right as the pandemic hit and led to pretty much all live music venues in the U.S. shutting down, although the decision to close Slim\u2019s was reportedly made before the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
