Very mixed feelings about this place. When I first booked with them, they offered artists 10% of the bar sales during the set. I asked my friends, The Traumacides to join me, and they agreed. Two weeks before the show, I get an email from them telling me they no longer pay 10% of the bar and I need to rely on tips and merch sales. Fine for a Wednesday night, but two weeks before a show is virtually impossible to find a replacement show. I stick to it. The other band, The Traumacides backed out but nobody told me. I can't blame them. I wish they would have told me before doing it arbitrarily. When I got there, parking was decent and I got a parking spot in front, and it looked decent, so I s stayed. The chef even fed me a bowl of celery leaves, which is very healthy. I thank him tremendously and appreciate it. When it was almost time to start the show, I realized the other band was late or not coming, but I proceeded anyway. I asked the bar manager about setting up for the PA system and he knew nothing about it, but I set up anyway. I asked again 15 minutes before show time and he flat out told me there is not going to be any sound guy that night, so I played without any mic. I was about to pack up when there were actually people into my sub-genre of music (psychobilly) who came for the show. I was not going to disappoint. I played for 2 hours, no mic and only earned tips, which I made about $20 for a whole night. The ONLY redeeming factor about it was the people who actually listened to my sub-genre of music showing up at the last minute fie the show. Had that not happened, I would have rated them 2/5. Had there been a sound engineer there, I would have been generous and rated them 4/5. Had someone from the establishment pitched to the crowd that I am on tour and need to earn tips, even though they weren't paying me and didn't have a sound guy, they would have easily earned 5/5, but the fact that they treat bands like this really irritated me and I do not recommend bands play at this venue. Skip San Francisco (all big cities) all together unless you're getting paid. Don't be like I was that day and think it'll be OK. It was not. This venue does not value touring bands
