The management, employees and security allow people to vape inside uninhibited. Really awful breathing in vape fumes while trying to enjoy a show. This is not a good place for heavy metal shows. The ceiling is very low so the unbearably loud sound is quite ear splitting. Safety could be a potential issue here. They DO NOT search patrons for weapons. Coat check is available for $3, should be free. Overall disappointed with the experience. Especially all those people vaping and getting away with it. Will not be back

Saw days and daze there a couple weeks ago and it was my first time to the venue. It was awesome, the staff are cool. The layout is dope. Had a blast.

I've been to this place before and it was always a good time. Friends and I went there recently for a 90s hip-hop and RnB night but they were playing more recent music and early 00s songs. The DJ was not good when it comes to transitioning songs and sticking to the right BPM, so it sounded really sloppy. Overall, I really like that lounge.

The best kind of venue. Intimate with high quality sound production

I went to the venue upstairs, but can't down in between sets. Cool place, different crowd downstairs then up, they have IPNA there so I have something to drink other than soda water.

Went for an open mic comedy venue. Lots of fun. Great atmosphere!

Came for the Crazy Funny Asians comedy special. 5 stars for the show and the comedians but the ambiance made it difficult to stick around. Location is cramped with very very limited seating. 70% if the audience was standing. Would recommend coming in really early for seats. Also there was this god awful smell of some cleaning product that was used on the floors. It was really unbearable which also led us to leaving early.Also the two drinks minimum wasn't enforced. Not sure if it was due to the lack of seating if that was a one time thing. But if you come early and grab seats, the Crazy Funny Asian show will make the experience worth it!

Bartender was rude and rolled his eyes at my order and said absolutely nothing to me
Great venue with great Live Music, friendly staff!

I used to work here briefly as a KJ. I do STILL love this venue despite my panic attack on the job because it's one of the few places my 1st cover band played too.The owners tried to gimme a chance there after embarrassing myself online with what I said about a specific patron at @Pandora Karaoke Lounge, but I failed them NOT the other way around. I had to do some serious self-work and do major self-care for 3.5 years to get my head on straight, finally!THIS place is a really good live music venue just all around. They do open mic and stand-up comedy here as well! I only wished that they served food, but there is plenty to eat in this neighborhood trust me! They couldn't possibly compete with simple bar fare here.The places across from and adjacent to them serve great food. Some stay open later than others, but this is a quiet suburb of SF. It's also after the height of the Covid-19 shutdown 3 years ago. I have to go again to make sure what is open around there and how late currently!It's more low-key than the rowdier, ratchet, known entertainment districts downtown. It's definitely more chill than some of their other bars that I have worked at. I haven't been here since I tucked my tail and hing my head in shame after they finally let me go near the end of 2019.Will update this post later after some more recon! #MoreToCome #Trust

Star Wars music was fun. Great band! It would have been a perfect venue and a perfect show if the bouncers hadn't catered to the violence of six dudes taking over and pushing people out if the way so they could slam each other and those around them in a mosh pit. I like me some serious metal and understand mosh pits happen. But this was not an appropriate venue. It was six guys using violence to selfishly make it so only large men slamming into wach other could enjoy the show unless you watched from the back. I know this isn't a popular opinion. Bouncers, do better.

Pretty small place, and drinks were more expensive than I thought they would be. They also didn't have any beers from the Anchor Brewery. I went there for BarCon, and Neck of the Woods is bigger than the last venue, the Back Bar in San Jose, and the stage is far enough from the entrance to not be deafening loud, but there were no monitors showing anime or playing old video games.

This is one treasure you need to make. Don't miss out on this place! The bartenders are the best!
