Neighborhood: SOMAMon-Sun. 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
After my first visit I'm a big fan. Fairly small area, spiffy but not fancy, no frills. Instead of a drug-store-like counter like some clubs have, these folks are behind windows like drive-in tellers at banks. But the place has
- a huge flat-screen TV listing a few dozen varieties and prices per weight for each one
- a blackboard showing prices of quality edibles, a bit pricey perhaps but delicious and effective
- friendly folks behind those bullet-proof windows who'll help you decide on something appropriate
- as LS L. said, cool doorfolks too, which in my experience is not universal among various clubs
I was gonna list my only complaint as being the lack of items like hash oil, kief, and hash, but I now see that Sarah O has given them high marks for having these precise things, so it's probable that I misunderstood the system the first time I visited this club.
But that's cool, because I'll be back, and the next time I'll ask about hash oil. I didn't see it on the menu; but just because I didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there. In any case, quality staff, excellent variety, less than a block from Moscone.
One logistical caveat: cash only (no joke, some people, not excluding me, are willing to use their ATM cards at clubs). However, there's an ATM literally next door.
UPDATE: I've bumped 'em to five stars now that I realize the available variety. Edibles, refined products of all types, friendly folks.
Not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said. Though, this may be a first: Funny story, I actually met my ex boyfriend here 3 years ago. He happens to be a giant ass, but can't fault the Green Door for that!
The prices are fantastic and the quality of the buds pretty excellent. I will say, some of the eighths seems a little light, but I haven't tossed one on a scale yet. Although, I can eyeball an eighth from across the room... I haven't yet tried their edibles, but I have purchased some extractions here and always enjoyed my haul.
Another minor complaint, the guys behind the glass could work on their customer service skills. They're a little gruff, and I have yet to see the cute chicks other reviewers have mentioned.
All that said, this is my go-to club, though, the next time some cute, tall guy who partakes asks me for my number, I'll have to give it a second thought...
I don't like how they have everything all weighed out first, you can't view what you're getting!
Also think hands down, the most unfriendly shop I have been to in SF.
I gave it one star because of the convenience.
The only thing I think I will go back for are their s'mores. Incredible!
I guess it could be better, but I had to give it 5 stars because it is my current #1 choice for Cannabis Clubs because of price/performance ratio).
Why? I buy a 1/4 a week, and their $70 Q's are often equal to $90 Q's at other clubs. Sometimes they are clearly worse, sometimes even seem a tiny bit better. Then their $20 shake bag is a great deal. Can't beat the price/performance ratio!! If anyone knows of a place, let me know.
Sometimes the 1/8s they offer to you are kinda crap, but you can just look around or ask for a new bag. Once they were selling some REALLY PATHETIC sour diesel bags that were practically shake bags... so yes it is "hit and miss" but if you look at all their strains you'll be sure to find a good deal.
Fantastic Club. They have a great selection and for the most part the edibles are on point. You can still roll your stuff in there, however in an effort to comply with city ordinance you can no longer medicate inside. or within 250 feet. Please respect that as I would never want to bring any negative attention to such a great club. They do get some exceptional strains every now and again that just put you on your you know what. overall though every strain is on point.
door guy is cool too always a plus.
Part of me wants to give this place 4 stars, but I had a pretty bad experience there.
First... the positives of this club...
+1 star for being downtown, in an easily accessible location, without being full of out-of-towners. Many burners that live downtown and know their stuff go here.
+1 for letting people blaze inside and having cool bar-style counters and a nice, small, smoky room to light up in. Oh, the perks of being in the club.
+1 for having alot of cool photos of the owner with celebrities all over the place. He's managed to harness the high-culture clientelle. Haha.
+1 for having 8 dollar eighths as "the cheap weed". WTF... even if the product is crap... it's probably worth eight dollars. Does anyone know if it works at all?
+1 for having a decent selection of product for a small club, and a decent staff to distribute that product.
Now, -1 star for me almost getting in a fight there with some huge, mean, coke dealer type and them turning the other cheek. I was there ready to blaze with a friend, so he was rolling a bleezy in the corner, and I was checking out all the photos. I wasn't even close to this guy rolling his joint on the counter, I was just looking past him at this photo. This guy stood up, got right in my face, and told me I was too close and to back the fuck off, then called me something racist. I'll give you a hint: It starts with c and rhymes with slacker. So I told him to chill the fuck out, and we exchanged some harsh words, seemingly shit was building. The staff did absolutely nothing. I was rescued by another stoner in the building, who came up and told the guy to sit down and smoke and relax, and kind of got between us. I've seen that nicer guy like alot in clubs since then, he rocks, but that whole fiasco was uncalled for. So they lose points for having a bad ambiance.
This place is worth a try. Bring your tazer to fight off BIG's twin when he starts shit with you though.
So far i've reviewed a few clubs. This is my club I vist the most (work right around the corner). I feel I know this place well being as I shop there about 4 times a week.
The top shelf (45 8th) is usually on point. Best consistancy in quality from them seems to come from the Granddaddys, purple haze's and purple platinum (you see them there-buy them). Outdoors stuff is 35 8th (middle level stuff is 40 8th). No clones and yes they do take Green Relief papers. Doormen are cool as bleep. The top line stuff is usually on point-the outdoors stuff ya gotta watch out for because sometimes (more often than not) its not been leeched and therefore the bud turns black and youre smoking the chemicals (being a grower) its beyond obvious the outdoors is rushed...sometimes you'll get the 40 dollar level stuff doing the same. Not often but sometimes. There's plenty of cheap deals here as well-they use and sell the whole animal-20 buck 8th shake bags etc...which attracks the crackheads....so now the cons....
Crackheads..crackheads...crackheads...oh did i mention crackheads? Then there's the wanna be dealers and thugs.This is the type of place you'll run into more thugs than any other place...hands down. Its also clear that the majority of people going in here are not medicinal users but rather dealers. The people who run it..though cool as bleep-are all thuggish. I wouldn't be suprised if it gets robbed one day by a customer-because i'm sure most of them are carrying guns. Recently I watched as a young brother fought with the doorman about checking his ID-fighting over something YOU KNOW IS GOING TO HAPPEN is stupid-checking the ID isn't a option you idiot. He was threatning to shoot up the place. Doorman handled it like a freaking pro-much props-but one day he won't be there to do so.... Overall its not the best enviorment to buy bud. Not terrible,FAR FROM IT... but if youre not used to being around crackheads and thugs this isn't the place for you. The shorties working the windows are cool (and nice to look at) but will give you attitude if you dont' buy big. but that's okay because most of them have big boobies, you notice that more than the attitude...hehehehe....okay i'm shallow like that.
PRO'S: They'll buy direct from a grower. Prices are PERFECT (none of these laughable 90's prices $60 8th). Big boobied ladies behind the window! Top Shelf is A+ quality.
CONS: Crackhead clientel, outdoor grown MIGHT have chemicals on it still, thuggish atmosphere, crackheads....trust me there's alot of crackheads here. Edibles could be stronger. No clones....oh and the fine bleep Green eyed thick girl ain't working there no more..damn
edit: So in the last month they've really made a effort to clean up the place. Hey greendoor...YOUR SPOT IS LOOOOOOOOKING REALLY GOOD. Clean is better. You now get 5 stars. But hey tell that rapper guy with the lazy eye that when people come up to the window-he should probably put his phone down and take our orders. Still got love for ya homie-but making us wait ain't cool dog.
Not bad, it definitely doesn't have the quality of CCAC in Hayward way back when... once in a while they'll have some rope, I've have some bomb grandaddy and the jolly rancher they had last week was pretty good. Prices are ok, a couple visits ago they ended up giving me an extra 1.7g.
I'm trying to live down the street, so I'm sure I'll be coming here plenty.
Great Prices that can't be beat for top notch strains. $90 for a quarter of high quality medication is amazing during these rough economic times.
The interior is big, but a bit dingy. Decent selection, and a fair amount of people running the window - but doing business behind a glass window feels impersonal. Despite what others have said about the staff knowing their stuff, the guy I bought from didn't have a clue what was what.
There's a big room to smoke in, and tvs, which is cool. However, Alternative Patient Caregivers is just a block away on Mission and while they are more of the let you in and get you out kind of place their selection, quality, and friendliness is leaps and bounds above what I found at Green Door, so I highly doubt I'll come back unless APC is closed.
I just moved here from Los Angeles and had always heard how potent and inexpensive the cannabis is in San Francisco and this club definitely reflects what I have heard. Their price cap is $45 - 50 for an 1/8! In LA, you'd pay 60 bucks for similar quality and at some clinics $70 or more. I was also very impressed with their Irish moss drink...delicious! If you have a green card and are around the area, it's definitely worth checking out.
If you are in downtown this is definetly a cool little spot to check out.... In&out..you can roll a joint or pack a bowl but no medicating on or near premise.. Door guy is cool and friendly..The staffs not that bad although I can see why they can get pissy...patients can be assholes downtown..sorry peeps I only speak what i see...Grape Ape, Pineapple Express, and variety of others...Wow....Good prices...Parking right in front if your lucky if not have some change handy....Department of Parking & Traffic (sucks balls by the way) will give you a ticket in a heartbeat!! Dont end up paying 100$ for a 45$ dollar 8th....
This place treats me like family.... maybe because I'm there so much. Located just a few feet away from Moscone, the Green Door has been a staple of my life here in San Francisco.
Affordable prices and good selection don't often go hand and hand, but here that is just the case. The people behind the counter are friendly and always willing to give a suggestion.
Don't be afraid to ask a question or two, you won't find a more knowledgeable crowd. They have a great deal of choices from concentrates, to food, to some of the best product I've been able to get here in the city.
If you're looking for a warm and affordable place to get some good smoke look no further than the green door. (Note: Door isn't actually green)
Please note: I have not been here since July 2008. Apparently they have dis-allowed smoking in here.
Not sure which club the rest of you have been going to, but this place is kinda of whack. If weren't… Read more »
This is a good quick rep up spot. Great ganj, good prices, solid service, and a primo location.
However, they could put more effort into the aesthtics in order to provide a more soothing center to medicate in.
Plus, the aquarium at the Natural Sciences academy is right there, so you're super stoked.
Great quality without the fluf or lines of some of the spots in the East Bay.. Prices are fair considering how well they pack it. My favorite place to get what I'm looking for at the moment; especially when it's just a quick skate away from my office.
they are great and they always got good grapes!! they also never get irritated when u have special requests about ur buds!! thanks guys
45 8ths ALL DAY. 175 halfs 345 zippers. what else can you ask for. selections like : silverback grapes, gorilla grapes, grand daddy purple, purple urkle, platinum purple. they are the best. sometimes the daily special is good, but i would rather go HIGH GRADE. i see people buying shakes and that lower standard shit. it gets me mad. you need to enjoy yourself and relax and medicate not smoke like cigarettes. staffs friendly. never had an issue. they're undergoing construction or something but still open. this club beats the others.
The reason I gave this place only a 3 star rating is because of their lack of a smoking lounge, inhospitable decor, and preweigh 8ths. The weed is good however and is between 50 and 60 dollars an 8th.
i'm always greeted with smiles from helpful & friendly staff - even the door guy, mike is cool. i mos def recommend LACED CAKES edibles! they got hella yummy fudge, cookie sammiches, cupcakes, muffins, chocolate covered pretzels ...super strength!!! not allowed to medicate on site anymore but there's a huge flat screen to prolong zone out time (if necessary). i usually have to park a few blocks away cuz i visit on weekends. ooh yeah, their purple selection is amazing =]
I went to this place because i wanted to get some medicine. i went in and the door guy was nice. GOOD! and then i went and waited in line. the line moved quickly. a nice lady helped me. i asked for the best sativa and she gave me sour d. i got an 1/8th of that and an 1/8th of tropical kush. turned out to be 80$. GOOD!as i left the door guy gave me a free pot magazine. GOOD!
First off, how can you go wrong? good looking girls giving you your meds instead of some chump dude. OK OK so girls alone just isn't going to make it a good dispensary and how is the selection you ask? not too shabby, they had about 7 different strains when i was there, 4 types of hash including hash that they call pixie sticks which is 100% pressed hash that is flattened then rolled into a tube....basically a tube made of pure hash that you can light up and smoke as is. Like hella different kinds of edibles which could of had there own menu. The place itself was easy to get in, no tough guys debo wanna be guard, just a nice guy at the door trying to finish his sweet n sour pork with broccoli beef for lunch. One thing I thought they could improve on was that you could not look at the goods unless you asked for them....they keep it behind them, in a cupboard. I mean it was cool for a moment cause it was just me and 2 of my friends in there, so ok....no pressure no pressure, just take your time and ask to see the goods....all fifty of them!. Then BAM! as if on cue, I turn around and there are like 50 mothertruckers behind me. Alright alright so it really wasn't 50 people behind me, it felt like it... but my point is it's always nice to see what your actually gonna get cause you just can't go on the name alone, plus it might actually save alot of time, personal anguish and questions like "I wonder if I got the best one?". You just want to be sure, thats all. But overall the club was nice, the owner seems to have lots of pictures of celebrity's like Kat Von d n such on the wall. A-ok will be back in the future
i'm a fan of this place. the prices and selection are great and the sight of the beautiful brunette girl behind the counter with the gorgeous eyes aaaaaaaaaaaalways makes me smile. she's so pretty.
anyway... lots to choose from, i recommend the pie's. they surpass the realm of pot food and are actually delicious too.
-1 star for the drab interior. the only real decorations are pictures of the owner with some B and C list celebrities. fill the place up with plants, paint a mural on the wall, bring the folding tables and chairs back to the conference room they were taken from.
The Green Door is the only club I really go to because I know I won't have to spend more than 45 to get some high grade weed. And now they have half 8ths which I LOVE b/c I like to get at least 2 different strains. Everyday the menu is different but they have their usual strains like granddaddy, gorilla grapes, hollywood kush, etc. They also have really good edibles and a good variety. The staff doesn't know much about the weed unless they've been smoking it. Cons about this place are that there really isn't any parking at all since it's on howard, so you can expect to double park, get a ticket, or park hella far. You get in and out though, it's quick...unless you're there at that time of day where theres hella crackheads. Watch out for them. Also all their weed is already bagged and I think sometimes it doesn't weigh out right. Regardless this is my usual spot.
They offer quality medicine (best in the city... I think) at affordable prices and the staff is super friendly! If you ever have questions about the best medicine for your particular ailment, they are more than happy to help. I always have a fulfilling experience when I get my meds here. I can't recommend this place enough.
