The Bazaar Cafe, Bay Area Open Mic Venue

The Bazaar Cafe

Small, very chill neighborhood cafe in the Richmond district. Great lazagne, wonderful, multi-aged crowd. The owner (Les) hangs out and listens to the performers, which is always the sign of a good venue. It really feels like a small town in here. Off the beaten path, but the resident talent makes it worth it. Piano available.

ORIGINALS ONLY! No cover tunes at the Bazaar Cafe, folks!
