by Ali R. on BEWARE!! There are stairs right when you walk in. Don't fall down them. That would be incredibly embarrassing. I mean... seriously... who does that? **shifty eyes** Tip- don't get drunk before coming here, get drunk while here... much harder to fall up the stairs than down them. I really like this venue, it's intimate, comfortable, lots of great beers on tap, a very fast pool table, and nice staff. There's plenty of seating in the back if you get here early and want to sit and enjoy the live music. There's food but I've never eaten here. Also it's right off the Church St. MUNI stop so easy to get to from all over SF. By far one of my favorite music venues in SF.
by Deloras Tkacik on If you're a native and you haven't been here- shame on you! You're missing out on the funniest place in town! This is the place all of my friends ended up on their 21st birthdays. Why? Because it's almost a rite of passage to get whacked on the head by Blondie's giant, elderly breasts and then have her crush a beer can with them. And there is nothing funnier than surprising your drunk friend with a lap dance from the scariest stripper there! It's too funny to watch your friend squirm and try to act like he's enjoying the dance when he's actually revolted! It's a good way to get friends to sober up fast. So, girls, feel free to let your boyfriends go here because they will not be turned on by the strippers at this joint. They all look like they've been on Jerry Springer a few times. As a guest, not in the audience. Back in the day we used to go here a lot because my friends bands played there, until my friend cracked a huge mirror while playing and had to pay for it to be replaced... but anyway, we had nicknames for a lot of the strippers. There was a mother and daughter duo we called the buckshot twins because their rear ends were so pocked with cellulite that they looked like they had been shot with a shotgun... or maybe they had been shot? We never got close enough to tell. Then there was Sy Snootles- a woman who looked like the thing singing in "Return of the Jedi." Scary. This place is mixed with hipsters who want a good laugh and strong, cheap drinks, and beady-eyed men in thick glasses with greasy hair who are honestly there to see the strippers. You have to go at least once!
by Amy L. on It's everything they say it is: nice design, intimate space, great sound system, mixed crowd, less attitude. Just be very sure you love house music, because, um, that's pretty much all they're going to play.
