Origin is a boutique nightclub at 1538 Fillmore St, an 8,000-square-foot room that has been one of the Fillmore’s late-night destinations since it opened in 2014 after a full renovation. It is one of the few clubs in San Francisco that hosts 18-and-over nights, and its mix of DJs, live acts and themed parties draws a young, dance-ready crowd.
The nights
Origin books hip-hop and R&B nights, reggaeton and Afrobeats parties, live performances and DJ sets, and monthly Bollywood nights run by outside promoters. Many events are 18 and over to enter, with 21 and over required for bar service, and some promoters set their own dress codes, so check the event listing before you go. Recent nights have run from about 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The room
The club is built for a big night: a Pioneer DJ setup, an LED video wall, moving-head lights, lasers and confetti cannons, with space for up to about 750 people. It is also available for private parties, corporate events, weddings and fashion shows, and VIP tables can be booked by phone at 415-825-0338. Follow @origin_sf on Instagram for upcoming nights.
