Map & Details>>

The Knockout has been called a clubhouse for big kids, and that's a pretty apt description. Started by brothers and longtime Mission District bartenders DX and John Segura, the place just bleeds their love for kitsch, rockabilly, monster movies, and low-brow culture. On any given night, there might be a touring mod band tearing up the stage, or a DJ spinning metal or old funk 45s, or a drunken, raucous game of bingo going down. There's a photo booth and pool table, a few tabletop videogames, and walls covered with DX's distinctive paintings and poster art. Look for the hot rods out front, plenty of tattoos inside, and John serving up an overflowing shot glass of Jim Beam on the planks.

I wanted to say hello! I go to CSUN and have taken a few Deaf Culture classes with your daughter Nikki. I am from the bay area and she told me to go check out your bar. So I will eventually stop in and I wanted to say hello!
