Description

This indie-slash-punk rock club is a revered local institution with all the staples you'd expect: kitschy retro decor, sticker-smothered bathrooms, and nightly entertainment that ranges from loud-as-hell to what-the-hell-was-that. A smoker's patio in back offers a welcome respite from the crowds and noise inside, or, for another form of distraction, you can scope the old event calendars from years gone by and try to count how many musicians played this small stage before moving on to huge theaters or even arenas -- you'll run out of fingers before you run out of bands.

    Bowl Us Over

    Second to Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday is America’s favorite day of overindulgence. This “holiday” of gluttony includes van-sized televisions, 30-packs of cheap beer, and lots of foods cooked in oil and covered with cheese. What is this... More »

  • 2011 | Best Rock Club

    Ask upstart bands from around the world what venue they're most excited to play -- in any city -- and chances are you'll hear a lot about Bottom of the Hill. It may seem like just a 246-capacity room on the ground floor of a Victorian building far away in an oft-neglected corner of Potrero Hill, but for live music fans, the venue is a temple. A quick glance at the old posters on the wall will tell you why: Since opening in 1991, the club has played host to nearly every important... More »
