Total joke.
We were asked to share the bill here with a fellow band. I said sure, great, what's the pay?
NOTHING.
Yup, Meenar's pays nothing for their bands (at least mon and tues) claiming the free "exposure" is worth it. If I want exposure I'll go down to Market street and play with the hobos.
DO NOT patronize this place and musicians FOR GOD'S SAKE DO NOT play here for free. Your time is worth only what you are willing to accept in return for it, so you are basically telling people that you and your music are worth nothing. If you just want to try out new material or whatever then play a PAYING gig at a dive bar in the city. There's plenty.
Or try open mics if you aren't ready for a gig. Lots of them in the city- message me and I'll send you a list. But Hotel Utah has a great one on Tuesdays for starters, and they're cool people to deal with.
Meenar's is a super awesome bar in Danville, Ca. Awesome music, Awesome atmosphere, and and awesome customer service from a bartender that works there named Andy. No matter what drink a customer orders, he always has it ready. Andy is ALWAYS "on top of it" and I've never seen him let down his customers that he is working with.
Andy does a fantastic job as a bartender, and provides OUTSTANDING customer service! I can see him going very far with this, even as a full time career if he wanted to. No matter how busy it is, Andy is always very consistent and attentive to his customers!
Awesome Job Andy!
