Not everyone in San Francisco has a Mission loft or Cow Hollow flat that can hold 100 guests—but that’s exactly why party apartments are in such high demand. These spaces bring the homey feel without the chaos of hosting at your actual home. Think curated interiors, skyline views, and the kind of lighting that makes every group photo a keeper. Whether you're celebrating in a retro studio in Bernal Heights or a swanky space near Union Square, these venues are made for music, drinks, and all-out celebration—no awkward landlord texts involved.
