A venue from an entirely different era. You'll half expect to see Frank Sinatra nursing a whiskey around a bistro table, but you're far more likely to catch a Noise Pop headliner or a burlesque revue. Read more

Founder Agostino Giuntoli left Tuscany, Italy in 1922 at the age of 19 and sailed to America. He spent five years working his way to San Francisco and found a job as janitor at the famed Palace Hotel.

If going to a Tainted Love weekend show, buy tickets at least 1.5 weeks in advance. They always sells out, and you want to get tickets mailed to avoid waiting in the long will call line.

Gorgeous smallish venue. Opulent art deco bar. A trip back in time. Get there early and grab a table near the dance floor.

Tim HarrisonNovember 6, 2017
Excellent place to see a show, very cool atmosphere. Hard to park around here though.
Ian WalterMay 10, 2015
Awesome old timey venue if you can find a good band to see here. It's like going back to the 20s.

A new favorite San Francisco gig. What a great authentic vintage vibe.

Ask for a Bimbo's matchbook at the coat check counter.

Another small, historic, pretty venue in SF with some good shows and overpriced drinks. Parking sometimes a challenge.

30s style club with lounge tables and multiple bars.
JennSeptember 3, 2013
The definition of a swank, cavernous nightclub long before the Prohibition craze. Diverse, musical events galore. The back of the room is way too loud even if a plane landed you can't hear anything.
David PriceFebruary 22, 2012
During special events the fishtank behind the bar has a 4 inch human in it. Only special events because 4 inch humans that beach underwater have an expensive hourly rate!

Late 20s retro music venue, awesome vibe.

Ticket holders to the left, all others (guest list, will call, ticket buyers) to the right.

Owned by the family of sf that owns just about everything else. So expect high prices for sure (1 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Daniel SalinasAugust 15, 2011
A great space for music, though parking in North Beach is always a bit of a gamble.

Visit Saul at the back bar; he does water colors of the bands while they play.

Try the Tiramisu - Classic dessert at a Sam Francisco classic venue.
Luis MendozaApril 22, 2012
Don't take photos or video record inside. They are nazis and will save you the embarrassment.
Jennie CarletonJanuary 30, 2013
Nice venue for a small show!

Great martinis.

Women's bathroom is a 1930's throw back.

Sexy looking, but overpriced and pretentious for what it is. Maybe a good place to host a corporate party.
Renia AdiaNovember 27, 2013
