Musicians and performers, including comedian Hannibal Buress, took to Twitter to express their disbelief and disgust in the venue, vowing to boycott the location.

Buress, who did two back-to-back performances at Fitzgerald's on Feb. 3, tweeted, "Yeesh. Just worked at this spot on Friday. Never again though."

The venue has done its best to clean up the mess, but the damage has been done.

"I shouldn't have said it. I should have just said, 'No thanks. I'll pass'," owner Sara Fitzgerald told the Chronicle's Joey Guerra."I'm probably one of the few clubs that even books the music. I get lots of calls because I do allow it to play here. But I don't know how to reconcile that."
