Slum It Up in SOMA's Newest SRO

A swank nightspot with a secret entrance and a back alley exit in a redeveloping neighborhood named after the area’s low-income housing? The recently opened SRO has it all! With no seating besides stools, it’s said to be an abbreviation of “standing room only,” but considering its location “amidst the booming Mid-Market Gulch, where the High-Tech holds sway” next to Oddjob, it also reads as an allusion to the single room occupancy hotels of the Tenderloin, SOMA and Inner Mission. Edgy!
