Editorial Review for Bottom of the Hill – by Daniel Liszt

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.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

The two-tiered back patio features tons of bar stools. Between bands, revelers can catch fresh air or puff cigarettes. One wall features a spacey board-game mural; another is plastered with posters and a shattered mirror.

Parking

There are typically plenty of parking spaces on the streets surrounding this out-of-the-way location.

Know Before You Go

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

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

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!
