These restaurants and bars book live music, from acoustic sets on a patio to full bands, mariachi and jazz nights. Redwood City has the most, and the coast is well covered too, with several spots in Half Moon Bay and Pacifica. Music usually runs on set nights rather than every night, so check the venue calendar, and expect a cover charge at some places.
