Cool place but too loud. Went there for a folk jazz night. Everything about it is nice but the music was too loud. laid-back atmosphere.
More toe-tapping than tonsil hockey happens at this kooky Mission hot spot for live music and dancing..
The Scene
The disco ball and silver streamers scream senior prom, but the sleek art-deco bar and what are probably the highest ceilings of any Mission bar make this club supremely classy.

It's a High School Gym. This place will never blow anyone away but it's not a bad place to kick back and have a few drinks.

Thursdays is non-radio hip hop and funk and a bit of dancehall (go when Shortkut supposedly plays there). Saturdays is good latin, afrobeat stuff. Dancefloor never gets packed, maybe b/c it reminds people of their high school gym dances.…
