Neck of the Woods

A couple weekends ago, I came here with my brother to see Anything Box.* The show was amazing, and it was very interesting spending so much time beforehand with random people who were into this most random of random late-'80s-early-'90s bands.*It's a really nice setup for live music or whatever kind of performance can fit on the tiny stage. Oddly, the bathrooms are next to the stage, but this has a hidden benefit--it ensures that there's always an open space near the stage, so if you're standing right in front and want to go back, you don't have to wade through the crowd; you can just head toward the loo and make a left turn toward the bar.It's woodsy and old and well loved and not dirty. There really is a lot of room to stand (and sway and dance and groove and ruminate-while-crying), but they have a few tables as well. The bartender was nice, as were the bouncers. In fact, everyone we came across that night was nice. People were just so excited to hear this music from long ago.This very definitely could be a five-star place, but I need to see more acts here to add that fifth star. Who wants to bring me along to something at Neck of the Woods?*Sadly, the "group" now comprises solely Claude Strilio. He's a great performer in his own right, but it would be better if he could assemble a band again, even if it's new people.

Went to view a wedding band this week...tasty beverages in a rustically basic bar in the Richmond Dist. Karaoke was taking place downstairs which seemed well attended. Always a treat to see and experience live music In person! Support local talent and businesses that support performers.

Came here a week ago for the Browning, Hollow Front & UABB. Great little spot. No problem parking. Bathrooms were clean. Drinks were on point with fast service. And most of all plenty of room for the PIT!! Will definitely return for another show!

Came here for the Crazy Funny Asians comedy show, and it was admittedly a hit or miss. Some made me laugh so hard, to the point that the white lady next to me gave me a dirty look and she and her partner slowly backed away from me as if afraid that my laughs will detonate into a bomb. Others weren't really funny, and there was a white guy thrown into a mix. WTF?It's a very tiny cramped spot. Get ready to be crammed like sardines with the rest of the audience. They were out of all the drinks I wanted, like the lychee cocktail, despite the fact that it was advertised on the menu.It was nice coming out for the experience, but not worth coming all the way out to SF for as a regular.

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!

Came for the Crazy Funny Asians show which was great except for limited seating. The bar service was great and drinks were mostly priced between $12-14. Only wish the bar had more seating for the comedy night. They do have an upstairs area that functions more as a club but charges a cover and there's usually a small line.

4/4/23 Tuesday, I came here for another comedy night, just as fun and inclusive. They ran out of tap cider. It's probably obvious, but they don't have all the ingredients for a full bar, so they can't make a pina colada for me. The pomegranate margarita I had was okay--nice chill environment with friendly staff.

been here over a 100 times to support my favorite musicians. I asked for the special $12 shot and drink combo. They don't have the "canned" beer i asked for, a modelo, so i get asked if i wanted it as a draft beer instead, i agreed. I ask where my shot is at the end of my bill to get told the special is with a "canned"beer only. Bruh, i would've got a draft IPA instead if your bartenders were more literate with their words. Some of the lowest IQ bartenders in SF :) lol

The bartender was the worst bartender I've ever experienced, just slow as molasses, I think she was on edibles or something then the dude came and he was even worse. He sold me a drink then started cursing loudly about how they're not a fucking club and we need to get out. I couldn't believe how rude he was. They need to get some serious customer service training. The dj was fun and we had a great night dancing.
