Q: How do i reserve a table for my friends/group at thriller

A: No reservations are required to visit. ur guests prefer to roam through our venue to take advantage of the attractions, leaving tables constantly open.  However, for groups of 10 or more, we recommend making a reservation via Yelp. This will help ensure that a table large enough to accommodate your party is held prior to your visit. (yelp will not accept reservations less than 10 people in size.)

Q: Does Thriller serve food?

A: Yes! Thriller has partnered with Stag Dining Group, a powerhouse in the local food and beverage community, in developing a fun, casual, yet delicious menu that is available for customers to order at the bar. When the food is ready, our team will deliver the food directly to you, wherever you might be!

Q: Do you have table service?

A: No, not in the traditional sense.  Since our customers prefer to move throughout the venue playing our games, we’ve tossed the traditional model of table service out the window. Instead, we ask customers to order at the bar.  Customers are then handed a table number which we ask you carry with you (and keep visible) as you roam our space. Our team will deliver the food directly to you, wherever you might be!

Q: Does Thriller host semi-private and private events?

A: Absolutely! At 10,000 square feet across two levels and three bars with a legal capacity to hold up to 350 people, one might say that we are built for large parties.  We can accommodate you during business hours, or open up early to roll out the red carpet for something more private in nature. Email us at events@thrillersocialclub.com? to get the conversation started.

Q: Is Thriller 21-and-over only? Can minors enter?

A: We are classified as a restaurant, meaning anyone can enter our doors and enjoy a good pizza, a strong (or virgin) cocktail, and play a few rounds on our Full Swing Golf Simulator. However, the evenings tend to get busy so we ask that anyone under 21 make their way out of Thriller before 9pm.  

Q: How do I join the Brewskee-Ball® League?

A: You’re a fan of Skee-Ball too? Excellent!  Thriller is home to SF’s only Brewskee-Ball® league hosted by 4-Time World champion, Joey the Cat. All interested rollers are asked to visit http://www.brewskeeball.com/san-francisco and sign up for notifications on how to join next skeeson’s league!

Q: What games do you have?

A: You’ll have to visit to find out!  Seriously though, Thriller specializes in midway style amusements. We have a Skee-Ball arena with 8 classic lanes, a boxing test of strength, a baseball pitching game, 3 Pop-A-Shot basketballs, one Connect 4 Basketball, a Down-The-Clown, Bubble Hockey, Step ManiaX (DDR-style dancing), air hockey, 4-Player Pac Man, Jurassic Park, Mario Kart racing, and a host of other arcade games. 

Q: How much do the games cost? how do I pay?

A: Games cost between $0.50 and $2.00. Games are played with a game card system that you load up on a kiosk. No need to bring quarters. Game cards are reloadable so you can play all night.  all unused credit can be stored in the safety of your wallet, and used on your next visit!

Q: Where can I park? 

A: We encourage public transportation, ride-share (Lyft, Uber, etc), walking, and bicycling to Thriller. if you drive, parking can be found on Bryant Street near the venue. there’s a paid parking lot at 4th and Brannan Street. since this is san francisco, please remove all valuables from your car in the event of a break-in!
