I always used to think of Thursdays as the “local’s Friday” in the Mission, since on actual Friday the neighborhood is inundated with revelers from other parts of the city and Bay area vomiting on sidewalks. Of course, that was also back when Jack’s would host karaoke regularly on Thursdays, and just by walking around the Mission you would run into a friend who was on their way to a dance party or something and invited you along for the fun.
Thankfully, there’s a few places that have managed to retain their Friday magic, and the Knockout is definitely one of them. Speaking of which, if you need me tonight, I’ll be swigging whiskey and sweating to the oldies on the dance floor.
The Knockout isn’t in The Mission, it’s in Bernal Heights. So this post gives no information on places that “have managed to retain their Friday magic” in “the neighborhood”
The Knockout isn’t in Bernal Heights, it’s in La Lengua. To be in Bernal Heights, you gotta be up on the hill, son.
I don’t see that neighborhood on this map. http://0.tqn.com/d/sanfrancisco/1/0/S/G/-/-/sfneighborhoodsgrid500.jpg

Good call, it looks like there are a few missing there. Are you going to contact the proper people to make the changes?
I’m on it boss. Castro in not a proper neighborhood, it’s called Eureka Valley.
Depends on the Friday. Tonight? Going to see Lee Fields & the Expressions at Bimbo’s. Rock.
It’s moldies night every night in the mission.
