Supersaturated, vintage paintings of female nudes color the otherwise black and red walls of this South of Market neighborhood joint, known for strong drinks and nightly rotating bands and DJs. Live punk, soul and everything in between happens in a roomy stage and dance floor area, while deep in back, an almost-secret karaoke room can fit up to 50 wannabe-idols on Monday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Happy Hour:
Happy hour is from 4pm to 7pm, Mondays through Fridays, and features rotating deals such as PBR and a shot of Jack Daniels for $5.

The Extras:
Patrons love to mug for the old-fashioned black-and-white photo booth near the entrance.

Know Before You Go:
Expect a cover charge (varies) for most bands after 8pm.
