The Knockout
The Verdict
"Punk and garage bands, drag bingo on Thursdays, and a photo booth in the back. Mission and Valencia corner. Cheap drinks, low cover."
What you need to know
The Knockout sits at the corner of Mission and Valencia and books DJs, live bands, bingo nights, and burlesque most nights of the week. Cheap drinks, low cover, sticky floors, the kind of Mission dive that takes its programming seriously without taking itself seriously.
The Music
The booking leans punk, garage, soul, and oddball DJ nights. Photo strip booth in the back. Bingo on Thursdays. Always something happening.
The Space
Long bar, small stage at one end, photo booth, mirrors. Crowded on weekends, mellow midweek.
