Better than: its former incarnations - JET, Detour, and San Francisco's first gay bar, Missouri Mule. We've come a long way, baby.

Opening its doors to only friends, family, and press last Thursday, Trigger allowed special guests to preview the new multi-level club that is unlike anything the Castro has seen so far.

Greg Bronstein (owner) and co. are calling the venue "industrial-glam" which translates into Victorian-inspired furniture coupled with exposed cement walls, chandeliers, and a glass-rimmed second level. The new bar, taking on the shape of a square, consumes most of the venue's lower floor but also enables more patrons to be served at once. Of particular interest however, is the cage located on top of the bar where go-go dancers parade around the stripper pole inside or the dancers located on all four corners of the bar.

Upstairs, seating is generally reserved for anyone with deep enough pockets to request bottle service -- which ranges from $150 for a bottle of Vodka to $275 for some Dom Perignon!
