The management, employees and security allow people to vape inside uninhibited. Really awful breathing in vape fumes while trying to enjoy a show. This is not a good place for heavy metal shows. The ceiling is very low so the unbearably loud sound is quite ear splitting. Safety could be a potential issue here. They DO NOT search patrons for weapons. Coat check is available for $3, should be free. Overall disappointed with the experience. Especially all those people vaping and getting away with it. Will not be back

Neck of the Woods is a popular live music venue and bar located in the Outer Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco. The venue hosts a variety of events ranging from live music performances to comedy shows and trivia nights. The space is intimate yet spacious enough to accommodate a good-sized crowd, and the sound system is impressive. The bar serves a variety of cocktails, beers, and other drinks at reasonable prices. Overall, Neck of the Woods is a great spot to catch a live performance or grab a drink with friends. The only downside is that parking in the area can be difficult to find

Nice neighborhood dive bar; they host some interesting comedy shows!! If you’re looking to stare at some train wreck awful comedians this is the place. They service is great on weekends but midweek you’ll get a stoned out of his mind bartender who gets your order wrong at least twice.

Ive been to this place before and it was always a good time. Friends and I went there recently for a 90s hip-hop and RnB night but they were playing more recent music and early 00s songs. The DJ was not good when it comes to transitioning songs and sticking to the right BPM, so it sounded really sloppy. Overall, I really like that lounge.

I used to work here briefly as a KJ. I do STILL love this venue despite my panic attack on the job because its one of the few places my 1st cover band played too.The owners tried to gimme a chance there after embarrassing myself online with what I said about a specific patron at @Pandora Karaoke Lounge, but I failed them NOT the other way around. I had to do some serious self-work and do major self-care for 3.5 years to get my head on straight, finally!THIS place is a really good live music venue just all around. They do open mic and stand-up comedy here as well! I only wished that they served food, but there is plenty to eat in this neighborhood trust me! They couldnt possibly compete with simple bar fare here.The places across from and adjacent to them serve great food. Some stay open later than others, but this is a quiet suburb of SF. Its also after the height of the Covid-19 shutdown 3 years ago. I have to go again to make sure what is open around there and how late currently!Its more low-key than the rowdier, ratchet, known entertainment districts downtown. Its definitely more chill than some of their other bars that I have worked at. I havent been here since I tucked my tail and hing my head in shame after they finally let me go near the end of 2019.Will update this post later after some more recon! #MoreToCome #Trust

I appreciate the free event. The vibe was nice, and the free 90 music club after was a plus. Although, the comedians were not funny. They were getting high outside before the show in front of us all. One guy had his money jar in one hand collecting tips and weed bag in the next hand. One of the guests pointed it out, and then he hurried and put the weed in his jacket... that was actually the funniest thing that night. The tickets online said free, but they should advise, paid people enter first ( this will promote more people to purchase) to avoid standing. Then they make you feel bad and obligated to tip before leaving. One guy shoved the tip bowl in front of me before leaving. I decided to tip regardless, which was more than the ticket price because they looked like they really needed the money...they need to work on their content instead of just trying to get money out of people. Only one guy was funny ( with the locks and worked with David Chappelle). The rest of them need to work on content outside of racial commentary. I appreciate them for getting out of their comfort zone and hosting an invite, lots of people came out, the comedian group was diverse and hope they take this feedback to only make them better.

Star Wars music was fun. Great band! It would have been a perfect venue and a perfect show if the bouncers hadnt catered to the violence of six dudes taking over and pushing people out if the way so they could slam each other and those around them in a mosh pit. I like me some serious metal and understand mosh pits happen. But this was not an appropriate venue. It was six guys using violence to selfishly make it so only large men slamming into wach other could enjoy the show unless you watched from the back. I know this isnt a popular opinion. Bouncers, do better.

Cool venue although quite small: one row of round tables, one bar-side, and one wall-side table. they really maximized the space... gladly theres no pushy security or ticket-person or bartender. theyre all chill, even for a free event.the crazy asian comedy show had a good turnout with good manners (expected). it ran through perfectly, on time n everything. the comedians were all solid, and one exceptionally polished (an older Japanese woman).there was a 90s themed dance music club going later on that night, but i guess i didnt have the patience to wait for a crowd to build.overall i felt this event and venue fit the Richmond district perfectly: 90s asians!

Pretty small place, and drinks were more expensive than I thought they would be. They also didnt have any beers from the Anchor Brewery. I went there for BarCon, and Neck of the Woods is bigger than the last venue, the Back Bar in San Jose, and the stage is far enough from the entrance to not be deafening loud, but there were no monitors showing anime or playing old video games.

It was my husbands and I 2nd Wedding Anniversary and so he surprised me by taking me to this place. This was our first time going. No live music. It was a very different experience. A little ratchet. Not really my taste. He paid for a Champagne Toast which we didnt get. The bar tender didnt know how to make many drinks and the drinks he made were gross. The best part of the night was I found $160 worth of twenties by my foot while dancing. And I ended up puking the rest of the morning, which I never do. We drove over an hour to get there and it was not the best experience.

Fun venue with stand up comedy certain nights, followed by 90s music night. 4 stars because seating very limited during comedy nights. You can buy tickets $25 or line up for free standby entry. They serve drinks and allow you to bring in food. However, i would recommend eating at one of the many Asian eatieries along Clement before drinks.And more: above the Neck is a hip hop cosy club

This place is an awesome venue! Went to the Julie Plug Reunion concert with some friends. They let you grab some snacks but I’m sure that’s going to change when the kitchen opens up. I hope they have an excellent menu in store given how cool the venue is. I am really excited to see what they will serve. There’s a bar for each floor. I got a chance to meet the owner, who is pretty cool as well.

Review №33

Unprofessional management. Be very careful if you think you have a booked event here because they are not true to their word. Sent inital email to club in March over a CD release show in April. After minimal response, went to club in person and spoke to Danny, who assured us with Oh yeah, no worries, we are a go, I just have to wait til my manager gets back, thats why I havent responded much. 2 weeks passed from the face to face meet up with no response to follow-up emails. Since the show as getting closer and was given the verbally OK for the show from this dude, we started promoting the show with flyers and online. 1.5 weeks before the show there was still no response so again went back to club in person, yesterday. The script had flipped. Now Danny, the asinine gatekeeper, says hes not doing the show because advertisements and promotion went out before it was confirmed?? When asked why he didnt respond with this information in email, he says maybe I could have responded to you sooner and then goes on to say that since he didnt get his paycheck from his boss, that he wasnt going to respond to emails or confirm a show??? When it was requested to speak to the manager, he flat out said no, without any rationale but serious racial undertones. A few hundred dollars spent in advertising loss for no good reason and time wasted. Again, think twice before dealing with this place. Their practices are shaddy ~ Rebel Fyah

Discovered this venue during an amateur comedy night showing. The venue is 2 storey with an open stage and bar area on each floor.Good place and atmosphere for groups or solo. There is always live music or some performance going on depending on the night. Highly recommend if you are in the Inner Richmond area.

Review №37

I attended Monday night salsa - 7pm Beginner, 8:30pm Intermediate, and 9:30pm Open Dance. ($20 for all)There were about 30 people in the dancing area, which was just a tad too small so I definitely ran into people several times throughout the night.Beginner class is far too easy and repetitive for anyone who picks up on basic steps decently quickly. Instructors just go over 4 steps: basic, side, Cuban, and right turn. Most people could get those down in 5 minutes versus the 1.5 hours they allow for.Intermediate class was decently challenging, and we got a lot of time to practice before open dance. Format is guys stand in circle, and girls form smaller circle within guys circle. Instructors teach a few steps and then you practice with a partner. Guys rotate every few minutes so you get to dance with everyone in the room.Open dance was way more fun here than it was at the only other place Ive tried - Atmosphere (in North Beach). The crowd is much more diverse at Neck of the Woods, and the leads are WAY more experienced. I didnt realize until I came here that followers just need to know the basics - a good lead pretty much takes all the hard work out of it!So 4 stars for experienced, diverse crowd and decent intermediate class. If it werent so far from downtown I would come back every week.

Monday night salsa was advertised as $10 cover but when we got there they said $10 is the online price only and charged us $20 per person cover instead. This kind of pricing is shady if you ask me and off-putting to the idea of returning.Besides that the club is pretty nice and the crowd was good on Monday night.

Awesome karaoke on Tuesday nights. No cover, great mics, huge screens, and you get to show off to your friends and whomever else is there. The few times that Ive gone, a larger crowd usually gathers closer to 11 or midnight, as the salsa class upstairs ends and the late night partiers roll in.

Was happy to find a party especially fresh off the vaccine…we bought tickets nice seating; the order your drink via the app thing not for me too extra and the promise of food and nothing? I got to go find some FOOD 🤦🏾found some Thai food up down the block…The bartender been off work for so long he should have been happy to serve us NOT! Drinks just okay I sure hope this isn’t San Francisco’s finest 😳 checking your party all the way from Jamaica, Minnesota, Florida and Ohio OH last but not least your DJ was cracking…#TravelingNurseCrew21 💋

Very cool bar and music venue. Weve seen some great shows here. The place has a large upstairs space with a stage, dancing area and bar. They also have a smaller downstairs space with a bar and stage, as well as a few games. The Wednesday evening open mic is really cool too, a great place to meet friendly musicians.

Review №48

Great venue for live music. Good selection of beers on tap. Even though they dont serve food, you can get something and bring it in to eat with the cocktail you ordered at the bar. Tuesdays is karaoke night with Wednesday being their Open Mic night. The Open Mic starts with a jam session where anyone can go up and play or sing or rap.Their upper music space is better than the bottom. The bar on the bottom is better than the one at the upper music venue. The upper venue has good places to sit and talk. My suggestion is to put a little more sofas along the walls between the bar and the stage. The drink specials like happy hour are standard.They have video games on the first level. I observed that they get unused. I suggest that they take them out and either extend the bar area or put lounge style seats there. It would help a lot and keep people there longer. The bathrooms could use some new fixtures.My only complaint is that there is no kitchen or food they serve. Maybe partnering with a local business or food truck might be worthwhile. If they have some food at their business, it would draw more people in and keep them in longer.

The place is a your typical nightclub, local band venue...but tonight was Crazy Funny Asians night. The crowd was around 30 to 40 people seated and QR food and beverage order setting. The food was litterally ran over from Koja across the street!!! The comedians were great and edgy, and I was somehow thrown into numerous jokes along with another couple. Definitely reccomend for a Sunday night chill and laugh session. The bar also makes GREAT dinks!!!

Review №53

Went there for a comedy show and was NOT impressed. Stroy is a fine up and coming comedian but he needs to surround himself with a better crowd. He had four openers who were absolutely terrible and brought the overall vibe of the crowd down. I’m talking poorly rehearsed high school jokes. The service was very disorganized and it took 30 minutes to receive our drinks. The crowd at the back wouldn’t stop talking (they were all Stroy’s friends. I saw them hugging each other before the show) and thus made it difficult to listen to the comedians. Many people were disengaged and on their phones. Stroy seemed pretty upset about how the show was going so I presume they have had better days. Overall, there is much room for improvement.

In a fun two level bar, there is a traditional bar downstairs and a great stage upstairs, this bar has a lot to offer in the Inner Richmond. I really liked the decor which was simple but they had a couch/sitting area behind a wall upstairs. It made for a great spot to sit and talk while a band was playing. There is a second bar upstairs so no need to grab a drink downstairs before you head to watch a show. My only complaint was that the night I went they only served Dos XX and Guinness for beer. I know that Dos XX was sponsoring the concert but that was a disappointment. Hope its not like that all the time.

Review №71

Saw a concert at neck of the woods (30 dollars) for one of my favorite reggae artists Cocoa Tea. Everything was going great until about 5 minutes before 2am they turn the lights up just as he was really starting to hit his groove and in the middle of one of his biggest songs. He is a legend and doesnt play many shows on the west coast and when he does he puts his heart and soul into it. Granted he went on a little late but instead of letting things wind down naturally after he finished the song they cut his sound in the middle and quickly hurried him off stage the minute it turned 2am. I found this not only to be extremely disrespectful to the performer but also to the crowd who payed good money to see the show. I left what was an otherwise a great night/concert with an extremely sour taste in my mouth. Upon exiting I saw Cocoa Tea outside and he said hed never been treated like this by a venue. A friend who met me there around 1 said they couldnt even tell a concert was taking place from the outside when they arrived so not sure if theyre worried about a noise complaint or breaking the law but I highly doubt any serious repercussions would have happened if they let him finish his song and end at 2:05. Dont see myself ever returning to this place after this experience...

Comedians were funny, but the people that work at the venue must really not care about them at all. We went for a show and it was hard to hear at times since the staff was laughing, joking and carrying on as though there wasn’t a performance people were paying for about 2 feet away. Frankly, I thought that was really rude and disrespectful for the acts. If I was the comedy show host, I’d look to find a new venue.

Glad he was my favorite comedian, and the tunnel is named after this generous man that with Whoopi Goldberg, started fun in Golden Gate Park, like a fundraising awareness for joy, during the early sad AIDS unknown medication 1988? days?...Anyway, kewl some ol timer could educate rita!!!
