Some Kind Words About The Knockout
“The Knockout has been a staple in San Francisco nightlife for a generation, and its anything-goes-in-art ethos draw everything from punk bands to hip-hop DJs, karaoke nights and “Simpsons” trivia, bingo, comedy and drag with, yes, motorcycles. It has been a home base for regular parties, a jumping-off for popular DJ nights and bands, and has been the site of some groundbreaking performances. The Knockout’s events calendar is one of the most diverse in the city, often featuring two events a night, and it has managed to ride the waves of taste (and weather a pandemic) for nearly 20 years.“ - Jessica Lipsky, SF GATE
