The Knockout — know before you go
Is The Knockout wheelchair accessible (ADA access)?+
Accessibility isn't publicly documented, and as a small older Mission dive bar, access is likely limited. Don't assume accessibility — contact the venue at 415-550-6994 or Knockoutsfbooking@gmail.com before attending if you need accommodations.
Does The Knockout have seating, or is it standing room?+
Primarily standing-room/general admission in the back music room, with clear sightlines just steps from the stage. The front bar has limited bar/table seating typical of a dive bar; the show room is standing, with no reserved seats.
Is The Knockout all ages?+
21 and over — it's a 21+ bar. Bring valid photo ID.
What time do shows start and end at The Knockout?+
The bar is open daily 6pm–2am. Door/show times vary by event: early happy-hour shows often run ~6–9pm, while evening/headline shows commonly have doors around 8pm with music 9pm to close. Check the specific listing.
Can I avoid ticket fees at the The Knockout box office?+
A mix of free/no-cover nights and ticketed shows. Ticketed events sell online via Eventbrite (and DICE/Bandsintown) and/or at the door; cash is commonly accepted for door cover. Amounts and fees are set per event — check the listing.
What are the bar, drink, and re-entry policies at The Knockout?+
A full-service dive bar with a well-known photo booth, tabletop video games, and walls of owner artwork — known for cheap drinks and a dive-bar atmosphere. Re-entry isn't officially published; confirm with door staff.
Where can I park near The Knockout, and how do I get there?+
On Mission St, where street parking is limited and competitive. Nearest BART is 24th St Mission (a short walk/bus/rideshare); many Muni lines run on Mission St out front. Nearby public garages include Mission-Bartlett (3255 21st St).
