Back in the day, this was a live-music venue where the likes of Pavement played to a packed house. The bands are long gone, but the rock-and-roll vibe remains.

Best Bar in the Mission
by dinsf415 at Citysearch
It's a home away from home... I love this place. Everyone that works here rocks! Fridays can be too crowed when all the marina folk try to slum it in the mission.
- Pros: Cheap Drinks, great selection of beers, bartenders are awesome
- Cons: when all the marina folk show up.

Go for the bartenders
by unsung_antihero at Citysearch
The bartenders are the reason why I keep going back to Kilowatt. They are interesting people who take their time to talk to you.
It gets too crowded on Saturdays, but it's a great place to go during the week; it's never dead. You can find all kinds of people there, from middle-aged tattooed guys to preppy college graduates. It's my favorite place in the city.
- Pros: Staff
