It's that glorious time of year again, the time of strong beer and preparation that leads us toward that evening of ludicrousity that is Festivus. Festivities include: Airing of Grievances, Feats Of Strength, special Festivus beers that inspire you to Feats of Strength, and Pinning the Head of the Household!

For one night only, Comal will clear out the tables, turn up the volume on our Meyer sound system and transform from a traditional sit-down restaurant into a dancehall. Longtime Bay Area DJ Jose Ruiz (KPFA, KPOO), a fixture at Comal these days, will spin his infectious mix of Latin and Funk into the wee hours. Chef Matt Gandin and his team will keep a steady stream of antojitos (little snacks) flowing out of the kitchen throughout the night - expect some familiar items from Comal's menu along with a few wild cards, with an emphasis on Oaxacan-style street snacks like quesadillas, de eses, tlayudas and more. Bartender Matt Campbell will be twisting up a special NYE cocktail too!
