Neighborhood bar with an fun group of peoples. Go to get drunk and chat up some strangers. Popcorn. Pool. Stragglers.
Great Japanese salads (smashed cucumber with vinegar, cauliflower with tofu), grilled trout with mushrooms, and skewered chicken.
Get there 30-45 minutes before your show to sit in the front. It's quietly BYO so pop over to Oaks Gourmet for a beer to bring in.
Great fresh California food, nice cocktails, good for sharing. French toast for brunch is like dessert.
