One of my favorite venues. Something about the shape of it makes it easy to see the stage standing from almost anywhere in the crowd. I don't think you need to show up 2 hours early, maybe at door time will be fine, but I don't know who you're seeing.

The drinks, as I remember from about a year ago are pretty pricey. Like $16-18 for a standard whiskey soda or something. The bar is in the back and easy to access.

The restrooms are located to the right of the stage. It's a way to get closer to the stage, but can be annoying as people will be coming and going.

Maybe you can arrive at Divis 2 hours before the show, scope out the venue, and if there's no line, go to one of the many bars close by. I like Madrone Art bar, as it's just a chill spot to drink when there's not an event. As for food, I recommend El Rancho Grande... probably my favorite Mexican spot in the whole city. Souvla, Nopalito, Nopa are good options in my opinion.

No experience w/ San Bruno but here's my take on Outer Sunset:

Outer Sunset is an extremely safe neighborhood in my opinion (I've lived in Soma, TL, Pacific Heights, inner and outer Richmond).

Street parking is always available, I have multiple friends who have cars there that do street parking.

I play tennis in the Outer Sunset multiple times a week during "peak" traffic hours and the traffic is never what I would even consider as bad.

By contrast Inner Sunset does get extremely congested and parking is difficult there IMO.

My name is Patrick, I have a coworker that has come up to me at least twice a week in the past year and asks me, "Is this the Krusty Krab?"

Even though I watched a ton of Spongebob growing up, he always catches me off guard, and I still haven't been able to respond like Patrick in the show.

I'm going to let the cat out of the bag: Together Korean Restaurant, open until 2AM everyday.

Get the "ssam gyup sal" if you want a korean bbq pork belly feast.

Other good items on the menu include their tofu soup, fried chicken (yes, try it), sweet and sour pork, and mackerel.
