This is a great medium-sized venue in San Francisco. The location has been home to other music venues over the years. For the past few years it has been The Independent and it's run by Another Planet Entertainment, purveyors of some of the best concerts and festivals in the Bay Area. It features a v…

worldcitizen says:
Despite being named "Bimbos", this is probably the classiest medium-sized music venue I've been to the Bay Area. It's definitely a lot nicer than most venues that are the same price range and size. It has a 1930s Art Deco jazzy feel to it and it's decorated with lots of red, oak, statues, and plants…

There's nothing better after a long days work than plopping down on a barstool in an dingy, dark, empty bar, lighting up an illegal cigarette and watching an Irish bartender named Elvis pour 90% vodka into a glass, top it with a sprinkle of soda and call it a mixed drink.
If that's your cup of t…

The best venue on the east side of the sierra. Try the fish tacos, a few dance moves, and spend the rest your night at one of the nearby hot springs. Concerts most weekends during the summer.

Yesterday was the first time I went to a concert at the Majestic Ventura Theater, not only was the concert amazing, but so was the venue. It is a small place; so, wherever you are situated you will be close to the band. The Majestic was started as a movie theater in the 1920s and built in the Missio…

The Twilight Dance Series is a series of free concerts provided by the city of Santa Monica at the world famous Santa Monica Pier. The performances are on the stage at the pier, but the fun part is on the beach just south of the pier. Bring a blanket, some candles and a picnic basket full of your …

This place is a lot of fun and the food is actually good. Well worth the $20 dinner and $5 cover charge, the entertainment is great and so are the drinks. I go here with my friends for our birthdays or special occasions. It is mostly a female crowd, so the energy is really high. Try to sit up fr…

breezejen says:
The Hollywood Bowl is by far the best summer time music venue in Los Angeles. There is always a variety of musical performances, from jazz to classical to world to reggae. Whatever your favorite is, chances are you'll find something you like. Surrounded by the Hollywood Hills, the bowl is open ai…

Writing a review about the Hotel Figueroa, one would naturally think that I’m writing about the accommodations, I’m not, rather, I’m writing about the nightlife. I didn't stay at the Hotel Figueroa but I’ve been to a couple of parties here. Each time I’ve had a wonderful time at the outd…

This is the only real night life we really got to explore but I am SO glad we did! First of all Asia SF may not be for everyone because some people are not open minded or may feel out of place. The reason (which makes this resturant/nightclub what it is) is because these very pretty women were bor…

X_Drive says:
Built back in 1897 in the main square of Hanford, this was originally the jail. There are still four solitary confinement cells, slightly separated from the main building and are still used , mainly for storage. The building is haunted so you will hear fun and interesting stories about sightings an…

ocwarren says:
got there as if we were going to a club at around 10pm.
The place was packed. It was on a very quiet street in the Pike. But this nicely sized bar was packing in the crowds like sardines in a can.
The atmosphere was jumping and the live band was happening.
It took a few minutes to get a d…

David says:
I went here for the first time with Eric. I enjoyed it a lot. The music is decent and the volume isn't so loud that you can't carry a conversation with someone sitting/standing a few feet away.They have a wide selection of beer. You could say its worldly. I didn't see any liquor either so I'm guessi…

It would depend on your definition of nightlife on whether or not there is a good nightlife scene in SD.
Overall I think it us pathetic at best. Dont get me wrong there are tons of places to go, the problem is they are mostly ultra lounges that also double as restaurants during the day.

Twice now I've had occasion to patron the Jade Bar in San Francisco's Hayes Valley. First, for my friend's 30th birthday celebration and next for our own TravBuddy meet up. If it wasn't for being introduced to it initially by my friend having the party there, I would've never noticed this little s…
