Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it!…read more We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn't, which honestly meant so much to us. Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish. If you are looking for musicians who will genuinely make your day feel like YOUR day, book Radio Gatsby. You will not regret it!

Radio Gatsby brought life to our Microsoft corporate event!…read moreI hired Radio Gatsby for a Microsoft corporate mixer we hosted at The Dawn Club in downtown San Francisco, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The venue has a speakeasy vibe, so I requested jazz and they delivered it perfectly. Before the event they sent over an entire book of songs to choose from, and I picked a few I liked and left the rest up to them based on my direction. It was perfect. Their versatility and ability to read the room really stood out. Noam was fantastic to work with leading up to the event. Everything was seamless, professional, and handled with care. The band showed up early with great vibes and positive energy, and they immediately helped set the tone while I focused on final setup. They brought life to the happy hour. Everyone loved them and they were a huge part of what made the event such a success. I highly recommend Radio Gatsby and will absolutely hire them again for future events!

The sound levels were perfect for the environment--unlike other venues and bars in the area. You could enjoy the music and still hear the people you were with. But note, this was a concert and not merely background music. These musicians are pros! I ate prior to attending so I'm unable to review the food. Their drinks were good and reasonably priced; however, their food and drink service speed could use improvement. I plan on attending more concerts throughout the year.

Looking forward to their re-opening greatly anticipating a good music and drink venueread more

The drink menu was amazing, and our drinks were great. The place was busy, but our table service was really good. The bar seemed a little backed up at one point, but they recovered quickly. The Cuban jazz band was really good too. My only small disappointment was that the musicians didn't bother to dress to match the classy feel of the room or do a mic check for the singer. Everyone else looked dressed up, and even the guy at the door was in a suit and tie, so it would have added a lot if the band looked a little more polished too.

You can often snag a seat at the bar if you don't have a reservation. For the cocktails, some these are fantastic: 5/5: The Town Club.

Great low ABV. 4: Flutter tongue: good of. Holds up 4: Firehosue Five. Like a candied banana gin martini. 4: Dippermouth Dagger NA 2: Mutt's mix: over crushed ice. too much ginger.
