The legendary Casbah celebrates its twentieth anniversary in San Diego this January.

The Casbah is as timeless as some of the acts that have graced the venue's stage. From NoFX to Nirvana, nary a band has ventured through San Diego and not bestowed their sound upon the attentive ears of the Casbah crowd. From urban trendsetters to scenester kids, the Casbah clientele is as eclectic as the music the venue showcases.

Catering to local bands and nationally-touring acts, the Casbah, unlike many venues, has forever maintained a come-one, come-all approach to showcasing music. Add an outdoor smoking lounge and reasonably cheap drinks to the mix, and it's no wonder this downtown spot welcomes the ripe age of 20 without skipping a beat.

In quintessential Casbah style, our premier local music venue is hosting a month-long birthday celebration featuring some of the best old-school and brand-new San Diego bands. From unexpected reunion shows to incredible lineups of your up-and-coming favorites, The Casbah is the place to be for music - always - but especially this January. Tickets range from $6 to $18 - and will sell out. For tickets and the complete January schedule, visit The Casbah.
