What People Are Saying About Bottom of the Hill

In Short – Pastel-painted walls give way to a landscape featuring Spanish-style roofing and a chimney that slopes toward the checkered dance floor. A lengthy bar stretches across the right side of the main room, where traditional cocktails and a dozen or so draft beers are available. On any given night, the focal point is the small, elevated stage surrounded by brick walls and festooned with a string of Christmas lights. –

Great Place For Poseurs!
by loinclothe
When it comes to music venues, there is never a shortage of complainers about the place. It's too loud, the drinks are too expensive, etc. Bottom line is, BOTH is my favorite of music venues in the city. Great, loud, rock and roll, reasonable priced drinks, pool, patio, friendly staff.
Very low key place imo and lacking poseurs in a city that's practically choking on them....

Poserville
by 415livin
If you are a mainstream lifer and want to sneak away from your everyday life and pose around with some other posers? this is the place for you.Occasionally they will bring in some good national touring acts through but for the most part the people that hang out there are wannabes of the SF music scene.Bar staff is cool but the people who go there really are sickening.Dont take it from me.Go check it out yourself.But dont say i didnt tell you so.
- Pros: great out of the way spot,lots of parking
- Cons: way to many posers

Great small venue
by adamm43
Saw SF's own Two Gallants. Great little venue. Reasonable drink prices and plenty of parking. Great place!
- Pros: Lots of parking, good drink prices
- Cons: More good bands!

Cabs often circle the blocks after shows let out. Two bus lines (the 19 and the 22) also stop nearby.
