User Reviews of Matrix Fillmore

bad service, rude staff, don't waste your time

Our group got here around 8-ish on a saturday. The place was pretty empty and the waitress suggested we can sit in the area between the two rooms or the back room. We chose the back, and less than 10 minutes...

Very Unfriendly.... Not fun.

Overprice and BAD BAD Staffs, A lot of other places around that more welcome and friendly. Don't waste your money here.

Waste of time

Over-priced, concierge-recommended spot that is nicely built, but soulless. Lot's of delusional, off-brand blondes if that's what you're into.

Waste of time

Matrix is a bar in the Marina. However, unlike other Marina bars, there aren't any good looking people there. I was looking forward to see a LA-type crowd that was pretentious, rich, and hot, but unfortunately...

The atmosphere is great, the place has a least 10 cute guys there! (Not like your san fran average of 2). I prefer the weekdays as the weekends you're packed like sardines and it's more relaxing.

LA type scence for those of you looking for that. If you are interested in waiting in line for cheesey men to hit on you, you'd found a new home.
