I booked a party here without having previously been at the venue and it was great! We were there on a Tuesday evening and the first ones there. Nice and clean with a lot of space for my group. The bartender was friendly and accommodating. I really recommend it; it seems like an undiscovered gem downtown. Close to BART, too.

Came in from Chicago and had nowhere to go but my hotel room. The staff was awesome and the live bands were awesome! If you're looking for a normal fun bar this is it.

Very narrow spot. I wasn't sure it was going to be great for shows. I drove up to see Loma Prieta and it didn't disappoint! The bartenders were really cool, fast and efficient. The vibe was really great too. I enjoyed the show from up front and way back when i got tired of standing. It was pretty rad to see Hellraiser on the tv when City of Caterpillar started playing.

Sound system and board and staff is the best in the bay area. As a musician it is great to be able to hear everything on stage and it sounds great in all parts of the room. Shows are fun to attend, drinks are great, staff is great I love being here.

The sound is killer for a small venue like this! This place's best feature is that it is less than a minute walk from the 12th street station on BART.Kudos to the bartenders who work here especially whoever was tending friday febuary 10th. He looked like he was slammed.
