Union Sq. bars with live music

I like live bands that play classic Rock but wouldnt mind a blues bar. I%26#39;ll be in SF on a Friday and Saturday. Any suggestions. Oh, and the bar does not have to be in Union Sq, but that%26#39;s where I will be staying. Thanks.

I%26#39;m 43 by the way, so I don%26#39;t want all early 20 yr olds hanging around, but I don%26#39;t need it to be all over 30 either. If you get my drift.

The closest to Union Square is the Gold Dust Lounge on Powell Street just below Geary Street.

Next closest is the Starlight Room atop the Sir Francis Drake but I don%26#39;t like it.

A block from Union Square is Biscuits %26amp; Blues that also has good Cajun food.

Two and about a third blocks from Union Square, on Thursdays, is Le Colonial (details, and other venues, are in the Music section on the Special Events page at http://geocities.com/dancefest/Specials.html ).

Next closest is The Top o%26#39;The Mark and across the street therefrom the Tonga Room in the Fairmont.

If it doesn%26#39;t appear below, you may search for a comprehensive list of venues compiled by ObsidianSnow.

I have a different view of the Starlight Room- it%26#39;s a fun place with a nice view, plenty of seating and a dance floor. The crowd is a bit older for me (mostly people in their 30%26#39;s and 40%26#39;s). If you decide on this place, try and go on a night when Pure Ecstasy is playing. I recently went to a wedding that had hired them as a band, and they were nothing short of awesome.

Starlight and Tonga rooms are booooring. Even for those of us in our 40s, and particularly if you don%26#39;t have a date.

Biscuit and Blues was a good call. Another option is one of the clubs on Fillmore street near Geary, I%26#39;m partial to the Boom Boom Room which used to be owned by John Lee Hooker.
