Context: Spent last 1.5 month browsing /r/twistsf and /r/swingers to get a lay of the land. There was details but none that really addressed my questions and lacking on some.
Parking: The parking garage, Northpoint Centre garage, is not an option for Friday and Saturday events; email is incorrect. They close off the entrance. Your only option nearby is street. I parked by the 76 gas station and came back with nothing broken. I didn't notice any glass on the street and I had nothing in my car. YMMV.
Alcohol: Buy it before coming to the area. Google Maps shows a Safeway, as recent as Feb 2023, they closed it down. Trader Joes is closed by the time you get there at 10pm. There is a liquor store 2 blocks south.
Venue: Dance floor was spacious for the night but I can see crowd problems for special events like Bronze event. For a off-night, or regular event, it was still pretty crowded. The playroom was 1.5 times larger than the dance floor but overstated in a lot of the online comments imo. There are two main play areas and a secluded small third area. It really split into those who are regulars or experienced, and those who are simply there to vibe. eta: There was no smell as there was good A/C circulation and it wasn't crowded. But I felt we hit the limit and if Bronze brings more people than what I saw last night, I believe the claims of smell.
Activity: We were there to be in the atmosphere with no intent to swap. I was approached once about swapping. It seemed the swapping was kept to the other playroom where the regulars were. Outside of that everyone kept to themselves and it seemed they came for the same reason as us. Having sex around other people having sex.
Demographics: It was diverse. I think the ongoing assumption is it'd be White super majority. I am non-White and didn't feel like some unicorn/exotic piece. There were body sizes and shapes of all kind so don't feel paranoid if you don't go to the gym 5 days a week. There was little to no LGBT action except for female on female touching/kissing. The vibe I got was that male on male action wasn't accepted.
