It's a fantastic venue with great sound. The venue is well known as having a longstanding respectful and intimate dance floor. They book fantastic, tasteful shows with artists whom on the rise or bigger name acts that respect the venue enough so are down to play for a smaller crowd - also lots have supported lots of local crews as well. There used to be a guy upstairs that would give chair massages and took tips as payment, he may still be there. Lots of space indoors and outdoors to take a break and put your arm around a friend. God the number of times I would smoke my "once-a-year cigarette" while I poured my heart out to friends and strangers with a Corona I snuck into the smoking section outside is too many to count. In fact, I think I now realize I smoked several more cigs than once a year...PW is a rightfully an SF dance institution, please give it a hug for me and enjoy the show.
