The Purple Onion... comedy and music... San Francisco's best jukebox... THE place to go to for the Sixties Scene... cheap beer!

San Francisco, January 2001- Everyone has a favorite story to tell! Everone loves to hear stories about the Onion! Submit yours for inclusion; bands, fans, innocent bystanders... We want to include them all on this website, for everyone to enjoy!

You can tell about; your best time at the Onion, your worst time, the most irrational fight you saw, the weirdest bill of unrelated bands, best video you saw on the TV sets, how many songs you played for free on the jukebox, Tom's funniest comment, how long you stood in line for a beer or how many free beers you got, the most fun you ever had!

Bands who played the Onion can share their special insights; wondering which band would go on first, what it's like to sing 4 part harmonies with no monitors, carrying heavy and expensive equipment down those winding steps, waiting to get paid (and waiting, and waiting...)

Submit your story and we'll publish it here!!
