Such an amazing place. Plus the drinks are pretty cheap ! That's awesome! I am coming here more often! p.s. careful of the fleshlight hanging up above the the outdoor patio . Read more

Get there early, stand up front, and hear the sound from the singer 's mouth BEFORE it comes out the speakers.

People often ask for settimes. For most shows, a 3 band bill will be 9pm/10pm/11pm. A 2 band bill is usually 9:30 and 11pm. Doors are almost always at 8:30 unless otherwise noted.

My favorite San Diego venue, period. Hit the back room for some pool and if you arrive early enough, street parking is sweet and easy.

Eric Dulin

some of the best acoustics I've heard at any venue in southern california. top three for sure.

León Ruiz

Fucking awesome music venue . #punk #rock

Cat S

One of the better music venues in SD. Very raw & intimate . No frills!

Lee Oeth

Be nice to Ben the bartender and he'll treat you right.

Matt Potter

Good venue to see a band and throw some back. There are not enough of these in SD.

The Feast

This is THE place to go to catch a band before they hit it big. Only holds about 200 fans, so expect a crowded venue during popular shows. Read more

Chris Avila

Always a great spot to catch live music . Strong drinks too!

Zii Hammad

Fun venue, good drinks. Good luck parking on a busy night , though.

Nothing can beat the five fifty Sapporo can. That and the awesome concerts we have seen there since they were a couple of streets back in Ketner.

The back bar is open on busy nights if there is a long wait up front -- but it's cash only (via sdDialedIn.com)
