Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society - Half Moon Bay, California

Debbie K

I absolutely love seeing jazz artists at the Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society. It's the best venue to see fantastic and talented musicians in a beautiful and intimate location overlooking the ocean. Over the years, I have seen approximately 6-8 shows and all of them were amazing! Check out the Bach. You won't be disappointed.

A fantastic jazz venue in a beautiful location. World class jazz in a cozy, intimate setting. A favorite place for live music.
Since photos are not allowed at live concerts, I've posted a picture from my monitor of a streamed concert during COVID. I've also posted a view of Half Moon Bay from the Douglas Beach House.

Great jazz venue on Sunday afternoon started since 1970s until now. The jazz performer and band are A list and many have performed in the great national stage venue. The available seats are almost full or sold out every time. I have just Ben there only 3 times and of course I will continue to patronize it. The location is also spectacular right on the Miramar beach. Many a time after the performance you will see the beautiful sunset on the beach which is part of the Half Moon bay. The venue is very Cody one and fill to the brim even the Mezzanine floor and in the bar counter and inside the bar itself.

Love this hidden gem on the Moss Beach Coast. The musical talent they invite is great and I love that they open up the deck and allow you to bring your own refreshments to enjoy before and during the performance with those gorgeous ocean views.When the sun is up a bit later in the day the sunset colors filter into the performance space giving that golden afternoon glow to some great performances. Assigned seating allows you not to feel rushed since your seat will be waiting for you. Thrilled to have this treasure so close to home!

Extraordinary music venue, Intimate inside, not a bad seat in the house. You can feel the history. There are decks you can hang out on which overlook the Ocean.

One of the only solid jazz clubs you can find on the west coast. You will see legends here in an intimate setting at an affordable price. Right on the ocean.

You start out early, with a drink from the bar and eating some homemade food or snacks. Mingle in the living area and deck with a view of the ocean. Then you settle in for an amazing show in an intimate setting. Usually getting a chance to meet and talk with the artists. The owners truly love this place and have jazz in their hearts. This place has been around a long time.

Even if you don't know the artist and just enjoy jazz, you're in for a treat.

This is a cute little venue, set right opposite the ocean with seating outside to have your pre concert drink. Inside the set up is a little unusual, kind of like a multi level house with a small stage in the second level and more seating on a third mezzanine level. Be careful if choosing seats there as it is difficult to manoeuvre and does not have chairs. One seat place is also obscured by the roof beams (where my ticket was seated), so you get a sore neck trying to see! If you have mobility issues, better to sit by the stage. No real bar set up, but they do sell from a couple bottles. Better idea to bring your own picnic and drinks to enjoy throughout. There is no elevator so no wheelchair access. As I say, a unique venue!

This is another one of those places I wish I would have known about earlier. Nice intimate venue for music across the street from the ocean. It puts you in the right mood for listening to music. Just listen and chill.
