I'm not a musician, I can't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it, but I know a good room when I'm standing in one with a beer sweating in my hand. These are the places around San Francisco where I've ended up more nights than my knees would like to admit, usually after telling myself I'd just stop in for one. Anyway, where was I — here's the list, dog's waiting on the porch.

Where I go for live music — 4 items
Name	Venue	Neighborhood	Address	City	Vibe	My take
1Bottom of the Hill	Bottom of the Hill	Potrero Hill	1233 17th St, San Francisco, CA 94107	San Francisco	Sticky floor, loud guitars, backyard patio for when your ears need a break	Closest club to Bernal that still feels like a club and not a lifestyle brand
2The Independent	The Independent	NoPa	628 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94117	San Francisco	Mid-size room, good sightlines even for a guy my height, which isn't tall	Where I take out-of-towners so they stop asking if SF still has a music scene
3Cafe Du Nord	Cafe Du Nord	Upper Market	2170 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114	San Francisco	Basement supper club under the old Swedish American Hall	Feels like you're seeing a show in someone's fancy cellar, in a good way
4Great American Music Hall	Great American Music Hall	Tenderloin	859 O'Farrell St, San Francisco, CA 94109	San Francisco	Ornate old hall, balconies, chandeliers, a little fancier than you'd expect	I always feel underdressed here, which somehow makes the night better
