totally agree with your comments. Its probably the best place in the US to meet beautiful women. Cobra in LA is also a great place to meet many TS Porn Stars!!

I've always had a blast at Diva's. Weekends, as mentioned earlier, are best.
I havent been there in ages. But a couple weeks ago I dropped in for a drink. And surprisingly business was good. I didn't recognize the bartender. She must be new. I stopped going because it was always dead with nothing but the bartenders and a few working girls. But it's much better now. I wonder if that has anything to do with the passing of FOSTA/SESTA? Maybe it's bringing people back out into the real world. Heck, if it stays crowded like that, I may have to start going on a regular basis. Back in the early 2000's Divas was crazy. If you couldn't find a nice girl it was because you were either blind or were a wall flower.
I was there a few weeks ago and it was backed with beautiful women and there followers. I will be back again in a few weeks and can't wait to have some fun!!
Someone also suggested SFAsia as a good non-Diva's option in San Fran. Anyone have any thoughts on SFAsia? It looks more like a dinner club with entertainment versus a place with a Divas vibe.
SF Asia is a cabaret-diner that caters for the Preppie types who take their girlfriends in to hear them say Get outta here! But note there is a bar downstairs near the changing rooms and if you are fit then you might strike it lucky with some of the waitresses when they are not rushed off their feet and they need a drink. If its action you want, Divas makes more sense.
Thanks, that is kind of what I thought based on their web site. A destination for bachelorette parties, etc..... it appears that some new version of Power Exchange is still open.....any intel on Power Exchange? Thanks again.

It figures that all of these places would get busy after I found myself bored out of my mind up there for 5 months last summer/fall. Outside of chilling with friends, I had nothing to do. I felt like Diva's and PE were both ghost towns.
I'm glad to hear that things have picked up, but now I have to go back! :lol:

PS: Last I heard, Diva's was looking for a buyer. If anyone is interested, I'd like a finder's fee and a management position. :P
This is all very helpful, thank you. A beeline to Divas!
lots of hotties on IG, definitely going to make a trip soon.

Divas definitely has some fine looking women that like to have fun. I hope to be there next weekend. If you haven't been - you need to go and experience the best TG club in the US - hands down!!
agree that in 2000s Divas was the bomb... the bartenders, the DJs, the music, the girls - just what you'd picture a top notch club to be.
last few times I was there it looked like the club hasn't been updated in ages and all the girls left for greener pastures. you'd still bump into a few and have a nice chat with some hotties, but not even close to what it used to be. I hope things are turning for the better.
Its has gotten much better since backpage demise. I had a great time there last weekend and can't wait until I can return in a few weeks.
Thai Sabrina is the best top I ever serviced. I lost contact with her but I hope she is still around, working bottom boys over.
I went there last night and it was loaded with lots of gorgeous women!!
I was there two weeks ago and this bar is a good as ever. There is no pretense at Divas, the girls know why the guys are there and the guys know why the girls are there and that is just how I like it.
I went there last night and there was nothing happening on the 3rd floor. I was there until around 11:45pm and nothing. Not really sure why. I went there for the first time on a Friday back in May and it awesome. There was three different ladies there that were smoking hot. Got some nice lap dances from Aubrey ( I think that was her name).
I do think Thursday and Friday are better nights than Saturday night for some reason at Divas. I've always managed to find a girl on a Saturday but you are right Saturday's are less crowded and have a completely different vibe from a Friday.
I will never go on a Saturday night again. Complete waste of money on parking and cover charge. I will stick with Thursday or Fridays. When I left and was driving down Polk there was a lunatic screaming and throwing bags of garbage at moving cars and trash was spilling out all along the street. As I was passing by he threw one of those white and orange dpw sawhorses towards my brand new car, but fortunately didn't hit it. Not the kind of excitement I was looking for Saturday night haha.
Lol, Diva's is in the Tenderloin, what else would you expect.
That sounds like a pretty chill night for the TL
Point well taken. I do not live there so I guess the other couple of times I have been there it was a slow night haha.
Divas is on the very edge of the Tenderloin. Definitely park 2 or 3 blocks west of Divas (closer to Van Ness) and get in and out of the city without Polk St or going through the Tenderloin.
There are actually a lot of new bars and restaurants opening in the area including a new bar directly across the street from Divas. Notwithstanding your experience with the homeless guy golfingphantom, I think some of that area is making a comeback. I don't disagree that Thursday & Friday are better than Saturday. Having said that Divas is still one of the best bars in the US outside of New York City.
Has anyone been to Divas in SF recently??
Would love to have an update. Plan to be in SF next month.
I was there on a Thursday and Friday in August. There were 6-7 girls there including a super hot Asian girl. I didn't stay past 12:30 so maybe more would have come. I was disappointed.
Sorry to hear it was slow. Just remember you only need one to have a great time.
I'm going to be there next week - so I will report back. I had a great time the last time I was there with one of the girls coming back to my hotel after work!!!
I've always had a good time there at Divas and was there in July. Some nights are better than others but as someone else pointed out you only need one girl to have a successful night.
I went to Divas last Friday night about midnight. It was fairly busy but not overly crowed. There were some extremely beautiful girls there and I had the pleasure of a few nice lap dances and met up with one the next day for lunch etc.
Good time - will be back soon
Does anyone know if it is worth going to Divas on Thanksgiving night? Is it business as usual or pretty dead for the holiday? I am going to be in the area Thursday so it would be great if it was like a typical Thursday otherwise I may try to get there Friday night. Thanks in advance.
It’s not in the Tenderloin. Not at all, but you’ll find homeless everywhere here.
I cannot speak to meeting a girl as I was there with my wife who is personal friends of one of the performers, but it was busy when we were there.
I saw at least five attractive woman and the men in the place seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Personally, I am not a club person, I prefer quieter places, with that said, it is perfectly fine for what it is.
Regarding the neighborhood, it was not bad, but not great either, there are places far worse where I live and there are much nicer places too, if you keep your wits about you and realize you are in a big city, I would imagine anyone would be safe.
Polk and Post is definitely the Tenderloin. Historically, the immediate area has been referred to as Polk Gulch. Divas is on the edge of what they now call Little Saigon. But both are neighborhoods within the Tenderloin.Quote:

One of the girls just posted in her Insta story that Diva's has been sold. Anyone have more info?
It wouldn't surprise me. There's been talk of the owner wanting to sell for a few years so he can retire. It's hard to blame the guy, since running a bar is tough, gentrification has dramatically changed the neighborhood, and he's run Diva's, and Motherlode before that, for like 25+ years. Supposedly, a condition of the sale is keeping Diva's, but who knows...Quote:

Although, because it's nestled between the Tenderloin and Nob Hill, natives and OG locals often call that area the "Tender-Nob."
Steve Berkey did not own the Motherlode. He bought Divas from prior owner Mark Gilpin in 1998, shortly after Gilpin moved the club into its current location at 1031 Post.
Last I heard a couple of weeks ago, Steve had an interested buyer. But he's had half a dozen interested buyers in the last few years, so I'll believe it when I meet the new owner.
As for the name of the neighborhood, arguing over where various subneighborhoods begin and end is a fine SF tradition going back to the beginning, but the San Francisco Fire Department calls Station 3 at 1067 Post its Tenderloin Firehouse. My grandfather was a tillerman there in the 50s and 60s. So call it what you like, but I'm a native and an OG local and I call it the Tenderloin, or Polk Gulch if you want to be more specific. Tender-Nob is more east of Larkin.
It woud be a great pity if Divas were to close, but if it did and no equivalent establishment were to replace it, would this create a gap in the market that for commercial reasons will not be filled, or a sign of the times, that the key actors -transexuals in their 20s-30s no longer want to be seen in 'trans' clubs? I know a lot of working girls go to Divas both for fun and trade, but maybe what worked 10-20 years ago no longer does, and they used to say Califoria was way ahead of everyone else. I may just have to survive on the memories of Lucy and the Vietnamese girl who is in the centre of the slide show first with Steve, then a silver-patterened dress and later in a white top and red skirt, can't recall her name.

What I've never understood is the Diva's-Motherlode connection. Did Motherlode become Diva's, then move to its current Post Street location; did Motherlode move, then become Diva's; or were they always entirely separate places? All of this predates me reaching bar-going age by a few years...Quote:
