This was prompted by the 'Gigs' thread, and made me think of the best places that I've seen bands play. Think in terms of all the obvious shit like capacity (if that matters to you, and it can work both ways), sound system, and the less obvious factors such as atmosphere, history, and so on.
My votes would be:
The Casbah, San Diego, USA: Small place (which I prefer), great staff, has hosted amazing bands over the years, and a relatively well-equipped venue.
Star and Garter, Manchester, UK: Small again, dirty (par for the course I guess), but usually a great atmosphere as well as fairly decent sound.
