Best Setting for a David Lynch Remake of Carrie
Award Winner 2009

Hours: Daily 6pm-2am
Entertainment: Live Entertainment, DJs

Description

It feels almost like a bingo parlor at the community church. Fortunately, the quirky Midwestern atmosphere of this bar lends itself to the mostly folk and country acts that perform here. Regular DJ nights also expand the soundtrack to include everything from Latin funk and Jamaican ska to New Wave and indie dance hits.

2009 | Best Setting for a David Lynch Remake of <i>Carrie</i>

There's retro kitsch ... and then there's just plain weird. The Make-Out Room's choice of interior design most definitely falls into the latter category. With its prom-gone-wrong decor (streamers hang from the ceiling like innards from a piñata that was gutted in the late '50s, then forgotten and left to rot in grandma's basement), the Make-Out could almost be a rented party hall that got miraculously frozen in time. In a frosty-yet-hip part of hell. With PBR on tap. It doesn't matter... More »
2007 | Best Purging of Teenage Stupidity

Somebody else's humiliation never felt so much like catharsis. At this event, which happens more or less monthly at the Make-Out Room, willing subjects climb up on stage with their old diaries, love letters, and teenaged attempts at poetry clutched in their clammy fists. Before an eager, voyeuristic crowd, the readers rewind history and let their younger selves spill their guts -- they profess undying love for that curly-haired guy in math class, tell of horribly fumbled sex acts, and...

2006 | Best literary drinking

Ah, the reading series, that venerable Bay Area institution. Just stick some writers in front of a mike and watch the fireworks detonate, right Wrong, so wrong. Many a literary event has fallen by the wayside from a lack of good TNT. But Other magazine editor Charlie Anders' "Writers With Drinks" continues on, five years strong. What's her secret Variety! As she writes on her Web site, "Variety is more than just the name of Prince's favorite girl-singer sidekick." You're bound to stay... More »

The big thing you need to know about the monthly series Writers with Drinks is this: Arrive super early, maybe even an hour before, for your chance at a stool or a booth. The Make Out Room is a pretty... More »

Parker Gibbs' Annual Holiday Craptacular: Show Preview

By Ian S. Port | Wed, December 21, 2011

Every year, late December brings cold weather, rampant consumerism, recreational gluttony, and — thankfully — Parker Gibbs' Annual Holiday Craptacular. It's an SF Food Bank benefit that draws the city's drinking classes out of their wintry caves f... More »
Holiday in the Margins

By Keith Bowers | Wed, December 14, 2011

The most "alternative" Christmas dinner we ever had was a box of six powdered donuts and take-out coffee. It took place in a 7-Eleven parking lot. In Pleasanton. On a work break. But at least we were getting paid double-time and our co-worker/comp... More »

Shockingly, this is located right next door to Willy's barber shop, where I got my hair cut as a kid! Decent atmosphere and good DJs.
