Amnesia is a great spot to hear local bands like Inner Ear Brigade, which plays there frequently. Its small enough to feel intimate, with multiple seating options at the bar and around the periphery. The drinks are reasonably priced ($5 for Racer 5 IPA) and the womens bathroom is clean enough and well stocked (something you cant take for granted). While the hosts up front arent always the friendliest, the bartenders manage the crowd efficiently and without attitude.

I love it here! Theres music every night, including a lot of free shows (bluegrass on Mondays, jazz on Wednesdays) and cheap ones as well. Given how many bands they put on here, Im impressed to say Ive never seriously disliked a band Ive seen here. I love that they do month-long residencies for artists so they can refine their work. Its not a full bar, so they only have beer, wine, and soju cocktails. But the beer selection is pretty good.

One of the best sounding, quaint music venues in San Francisco. Lots of great improvements have been done to a classic place to see live music (Ive been coming here for over 15 years). Always a quality act on stage, too, not a bad night to be there. Bartender was very friendly and the beer selection is one of the best.

Fun, funky little bar with excellent live music playing most nights. Good beer & wine at a decent price, but no full bar. Cover is usually $5 if a band is playing and its usually more than worth it. Crowd tends to be a hip mix of beer people and whoever is friends with the band playing that night.

Sadly they have shortened the happy hour, or I would have given 5 stars. They have an excellent beer selection. If you are going for the gypsy jazz, show up early enough to sit up front you you can see (or be one of) the Charleston dancers. The Bluegrass evening is nice, too.

Gotta love the live music and am there frequently for jazz and craft beer. Excellent selection of beer and fun upscale dive bar-ish decor. Also if you dance there is a contingent that comes to dance on the very tiny dance floor for the Wednesday evening live music.

Awesome intimate venue with interesting acts. Bluegrass Mondays is a favorite, but just about any night theres an interesting lineup of local bands with either no cover or cheap covers. Good beer selection and funky vibe...great pace to catch a show.

Love this place, one of the smallest joints around still providing top caliber performances. Ive been coming here for 15 years and hardly anything has changed which is amazing considering the neighborhood has transformed time and again. What a treat.

No cover Bluegrass Night. No cover Jazz Night. Bada-bing, bada-boom. Great little (I mean little) spot to hear some rad live music for cheap. Getting to the bar/ bathroom can be a disaster but worth it. Remember on free music nights to tip the band!

Juste avant de louer un vélo, un peu dénergie, cela ne fait pas de mal. Arrêtez-vous dans ce bar, il est très sympa !

THis is a cool place to go if you love lice music. They have a variety of artists spanning almost every imaginable genre. The dirnks are typical mission expensive, but the atmosphere, crowd, and location make it well worth the money.

A fun bar in the Mission--check the calendar before you go to see if theres a band playing! Definitely a lot of fun when theres live music--the place gets packed! Try the Sangria too (kind of odd for a normal bar, but its good)

Its a small hole in the wall type of place but its my favorite bar. Good beer selection, always have some sort of performance going on, and low lighting/laid back atmosphere.

Fabulous little artistic vintage bar that has great artisan beer and wine and frequently hosts small concerts featuring talented local armature bands.

Amnesia is a nice venue, with very reasonably priced drinks. The number of places to sit could be a bit better. DJ nights are fun and well attended.

Gaucho on Wednesdays is my jam every time. Great beer selection, great music, and great service + genuine feel. How much better does it get?

Great space for all types of live jazz and bluegrass in a smaller room. Great taps that rotate frequently and a fun crowd full of artists.

Fun night on Saturday with great DJ. Small downside is that they are only serving beer/wine. Looking forward to see a live band there.

Amnesia often has live bluegrass shows with no cover, which can be sort of fun. Drinks are average, and typically not enough seating.

Unexpectedly good selection of Belgian beer on tap. Live band line up is fun. Gets really crowded and hot. Shows almost every night.

There is always some terrible folk nonsense happening in here. Also, get out of my face with your sojou cocktails.

Extremely noisy. Very loud. It was my first time there and so was it for my European visitors. Amnesia not for us.

Great musicians and shows, but they recently lost their liquor license, unfortunately (now beer and wine only).

Small room, leading to music being too loud for my tastes. But seems to have a great line-up of live music.

Not the typical bar in Mission. Music nights Wednesday and Friday nights are the best.
