Knuckleheads in San Clemente is an ideal location for photo shoots, film and television productions, music videos, commercials, editorial shoots, and branded content looking for an authentic dive bar setting. Its lived in character offers multiple looks without needing to move locations. The stage can be used for performance scenes, while the projection wall behind it provides an optional backdrop for custom visuals. The space can also accommodate crew staging, equipment, wardrobe, and production vehicles depending on the needs of the shoot. We are available for rentals before or after regular operating hours, giving productions the flexibility to work on their own schedule while having access to the full space. Knuckleheads is laid out as a collection of distinct spaces, each offering a different look and purpose for production: * Main bar: A fully built out dive bar with a working bar, seating, TVs, and plenty of natural character for film scenes, interviews, and lifestyle photography. * Stage: Designed for performances, band shoots, live music scenes, music videos, or creating a concert atmosphere. * Wine room: A separate, intimate room with natural light, customizable colored lighting, wine bottles, and seating that works well for portraits, interviews, or scenes requiring a different atmosphere. * Indoor seating: Flexible space for staged gatherings, background action, dining scenes, or general production. * Back seating area: Additional seating and room that can be used for scenes, crew staging, or production overflow. * Front smoking area: An outdoor setting that works well for exterior scenes. * Game area: The pool table, pinball machine, and arcade games provide built-in props and opportunities for additional scenes. * Marquees: Two indoors and one outdoors. * Parking lot and rear parking: Available for production parking, loading equipment, crew vehicles, and exterior shots. * Bathrooms: Two bathrooms that can be used as dressing rooms. * Projection wall: Located behind the stage and available as a backdrop for projected imagery or custom content.
