Dark walls, banquettes and streetside seating are the perfect setting for the bar's signature drink: the martini. During the week, live jazz and blues lure Mission locals who are more hepcat than hipster, while the weekend's hip hop DJ's attract a bridge-and-tunnel crowd. A seemingly endless martini menu would take a even a serious drinker days to explore, with choices ranging from chocolate mint to a standard gin 'tini with spicy sausage and blue cheese garnish. Thankfully, exotic choices don't mean small servings (each drink is a tall 16 ounces), though no matter how sloppy you get your…

Great drinks, great live music atmosphere Mondays and Thursdays

Stopped on a Monday night. The place wasn't too busy but had a great atmosphere. Not too ritzy but not a dump either, great place to relax and have a martini and listen to great music. I hope to see better bands occaisonally on the weekends but great acoustic and electric rock. Highly recomend!

Never fails to deliver
by teresathegreat1 at Citysearch
I went to Blondies a few times several years ago, and went back this weekend. I was surprised how little it has changed, and that's the best news. I have never had anything less than a great time at Blondies.
The DJ is always spinning something fun to dance to. The bar was crowded, and my slim cosmo was a hefty $11, but unlike most bars I got a refill pint along with my martini glass, so it was like two drinks in one. The crowd is young and cheerful and determined to have a good time. The staff is friendly, the bouncers are quick to act on any disputes, and the cover is a modest $5. It's not too posh and it's not too skanky - a nice comfortable let-your-hair-down let's-groove-tonight place.
- Pros: good music & martinis, fun crowd
- Cons: limited seating, small dance floor
