SoMa's Harlot nightclub and lounge is getting a new look and lease on life as Madarae.

The club's owner, Arash Ghanadan, told me he is bringing"a whole new experience" to the San Francisco nightclub scene with upgraded"state of the art" audio and visual elements and an innovative cocktail menu. The property is undergoing a $2 million-plus remodel designed by architect Jacek Ostoya, a collaborator on Harlot and Ghanadan's other venues, Novela and Barbarossa.— but the owner said a target date hasn't been established.

The space's past lives include serving as a"leftist" headquarters and printing press; a sake bootlegging operation and speakeasy in the days of Prohibition; a"post-war illegal jazz club"; and a"pirate radio station" in San Francisco's Summer of Love sixties well into punk and hip-hop's heyday, per the website. Harlot was established in 2007.

"Now its colorful past is celebrated and reimagined as a future secret clubhouse inviting those creators & dreamers lucky enough to discover it," reads the description. The total 2,650-square-foot space, which can fit about 200 people, comprises a 2,000-square-foot main level with a 17-foot ceiling and a 650-square-foot mezzanine. Inside are two full bars, catering facilities, a private VIP section, and enclosed glass smoking area.

The space has also daylighted as an event venue called 46 Minna, hosting events from CBS Radio, Bombay Gin, Men's Vogue magazine, as well as engagement parties, company holidays and product launches.
