Student-run, progressive collective with awesome policies (sober space, do not bring drugs or alcohol here) and inclusive. I was there for a concert and found it very enjoyable, will be back!

Cool vibe, cool bands, needs more structure and guidance was at a recent show and found alot of the people running g everything to be very unprofessional.

I came recently to see an invite only show with Switchfoot. It's a small venue run by volunteers. I like the murals and other art hanging up, it works well for a collective. Don't come here expecting parking, it's not gonna happen on the street, but down the hill to the right is a large parking structure, it's an easy walk. No alcohol, but totally fine with me, people are obnoxious when they drink so it's definitely not a loss in my opinion. They have plenty of caffeinated options if you want an energy boost. This is probably one of the smallest places I've seen live music in, it's very intimate if you want to get up close and personal. I saw a famous Seattle band in a slightly larger venue for a similar type of thank the fans event and people kept saying it was crazy intimate, but this is much smaller. There's also an outdoor patio which is nice when it gets stuffy inside, the breeze is good.

Shows, workshops, food sharing, can exist in space without buying stuff. 10 out of 10

Awesome and chill space to hang out. Plus the garden is kool for a small nature walk
Love to see the next generation thriving in a creative space for arts and hatching plots to change the world. Do it, my lovelies! May your passion never die.

This is one of San Diego's staples in the music punk/alt culture! Absolutely must go at some point the music may not always be the best but it's because they actually give local bands a place to play and practice! They help inspire and grow the community! I'm 21 btw and have been going since I was in high school!

Still one of the best in all of San Diego!

What a great little venue. I had heard about it for decades but did not understand its allure until I experienced it. Great sounding room.
