Chill spot if you're into earlier evening live band shows. There's usually a $5-$10 cover. No amazing beers on tap but bartenders are friendly.

One of the best small venues to see local and bigger acts at. Keep them on your radar.
Kyle MinorMay 23, 2011
Funkiest of funky venues, the crowd here regardless of the act on stage is unfailingly young, adorable, and friendlier than they have to be. Even if it's busy at the bar, there are so many great beer Read more

Fridays are salsa nights, which are fun with a large group of friends. But cover--what is this nonsense, SF? Also, people aren't as creepy as they seem?

Cool spot for live music. Decor is like an adult prom. Cash only.
Alex DobyanDecember 17, 2017
Truly, it is weird, and cash only is annoying, but it just has this vibe that I find totally unpretentious and cool.

Coolest bar in the Bay Area. Great music, cool crowd. Love it.
Ali Uro-MayJune 2, 2017
Great spot for live music. Small, intimate venue. They usually have a cover.

Karaoke on Monday is AMAZING! (Dare I say better than The Mint... Much as I love that place!)
Megan MastersAugust 17, 2014
Bring your own air conditioner and don't forget your deodorant/ antiperspirant prior to dancing on the hot floor to tunes you don't yet know in Spanish
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016
I've had some of the best times here. Making out is encouraged, dancing is required.
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 19, 2017
Great venue for salsa dancing and concerts, albeit an embarrassing name
Kimberly GarciaJanuary 23, 2011
Saturday nights music is great except the transitions from song to song is very amateur. Which is frustrating bcus the song selection is pretty damn good. I hope the DJ's read this.

Jeremy is a great host, particularly when he's performing a wacky improv skit - it's different every Seaweed Sway.
DonaldJanuary 26, 2012

charlie jane anders's "writers with drinks" is an awesome literary/spoken word event - takes place here the first saturday of every month.
Peter HollensAugust 19, 2013
Karaoke is awesome here. DJ purple styles.
Tom DApril 18, 2011
Seaweed Sway showcase is worth checking out, especially the interim performances by the Absurdists. This time, the classic Scooby episode "to switch a witch".

Lots of good performances and readings here, and then dancing late at night.

Don't miss the "Mortified" nights, when adults share adolescent journal entries, poems, lyrics, home movies and other archives of extreme embarrassment.More in the Mission: Read more
