Description

This longtime home to bikers and blue-collars has transformed itself into one of the city's finest small rooms for rock. The calendar is jammed with the crème de la crème of garage, punk, metal, indie, and underground acts delivering intimate shows in the main room for a low cover. The back patio is great on warm afternoons and evenings, too.

    Bruce Roehrs' Birthday: Show Preview

    Promising Punk Outfit Synthetic ID Wants to Make You Feel Alienated and Vulnerable

    San Francisco's Synthetic ID plays straight-ahead punk charged with a distinctly urban sense of disorientation and tension. A controlled chaos is contained in the group's jagged instrumental tones. Ea... More »

  • 2007 | Best Place to Play Ping-Pong

    At an establishment that bills itself as San Francisco's premier dive venue, you'd best not be expecting some slick Olympic setup. No, ping-pong on Thee Parkside's back patio is a ramshackle affair. The table sags and the paddles are frayed (last time we were there, one paddle had the editorial comment "Loser!" scrawled on its surface). But the bar's proprietors know that ping-pong, when played slightly sauced in a crowded area, is simultaneously excellent physical exercise and a great... More »

  • 2006 | Best Live Music Nights

    "If it's twang it's our thang." So goes the motto of "Twang Sundays," which pretty much sums up this Sunday afternoon series of local music. Country, western, Americana, y'all-ternative, and rockabilly, as played by bands like the Pine Box Boys, the Robber Barons, and many more, comprise the fare. And Thee Parkside's patio offers benches and Ping-Pong for those who take their Buck Owens with a spoonful of midday sun. Ease into your Sunday for the low, low price of $0. More »

  • 2004 | Best Music Community

    Many locals complain that our music scene has a lot of bands and a lot of fans but very little community. That's not the case at Thee Parkside, where, as its Web site boasts, "the staff drinks right along with you." As many who've been to Thee Parkside's budget rock Fridays can attest, this place is one of the coolest, cheapest, most hospitable spots to catch garage, punk, and country-fried rock in town. What you may not know is that it's also a great place to eat a yak burger (yes, you read... More »
