David KujawaSeptember 1, 2010Such 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
Juanpablo ContrerasMarch 21, 2012Get 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 DulinAugust 14, 2014some of the best acoustics I've heard at any venue in southern california. top three for sure.
Matt PotterFebruary 27, 2015Good venue to see a band and throw some back. There are not enough of these in SD.
Eji ValSeptember 21, 2010Nothing 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.- MazdaNovember 10, 2010Awesome stage sound, great crowd, cool music, just an overall great intimate venue.
The back bar is open on busy nights if there is a long wait up front -- but it's cash only (via sdDialedIn.com)
