SF: Be sure to grab a free apple and free concert poster at SF's most historic (and hospitable) live music venue. -IFC Staff
Hands down... Best music venue in SF!
One of my favorite music venues! Access to huge, delicious, red apples is a definite plus 😋🍎
Awesome vibe with live band. The food was delicious and drinks to perfection.
Awesome live music 7 nights a week
Live music in the evening, great cocktails, and an awesome burger.
Going tonight to check out Rebirth Brass Band. Love the Independent as it's one of the last quality independently booked live music venues in SF. Read more.
Great music venue. I've seen a couple of shows there while in town, and also a wedding reception! Lots of good memories and great sound.
Great small live music venue. The Double Door of Chicago. Approx 400-500 capacity, unobstructed sight lines, great PA and sound. VIP section is designed nicely. Staff is friendly.
Trending this week is Mr Tipple's Recording Studio for craft cocktails, live jazz, and delicious food every night. Grab a BBQ Pulled-Mushroom sandwich while you enjoy the music. Read more.
Very cool bar with live jazz music. Delicious artisan cocktails and an adequate selection of craft beer.
Great atmosphere & live music! Wide range of cocktail options, also.
Awesome live jazz!
The live jazz is pretty awesome! :) and they do special requests.
Come for the live jazz music Sunday nights and stay for the good vibes
Order a yummy cocktail at the bar just before the concert starts, and the bartender will have it ready for you when intermission starts.
PIXAR IN CONCERT is perfect!!
Amazing venue for live music.
One of my favorite places to see a live band.

Great vibe. Also have live jazz some nights which is cool
Live music on Mondays and Wednesdays! Fun atmosphere! Great cocktails! Try the "Local Edition"
Great live music and drinks! If you dont know what to get ask the bartender. So many awesome old newspapers to check out too!
Great free summer concerts starting in July.
Great place to see any free concert on a good weather day, but foggy most others. Bad place to be if you are allergic to mosquitoes or have a seat on the hill.
Love the yearly Stern Grove Music Concerts on Summer Sundays! The acoustics are just amazing. Go early at ~10am to secure a good space for your crew. Bring lots of nice treats and wine :)
Awesome venue for any live band. Get tickets before they sell out, especially for Thursday's popscene. Drink specials are legit, and the bartenders are surprisingly nice & friendly.
Fun music venue - drinks, dancing, & live music tucked between Van Ness and Franklin on Fell. My favorite time was when I saw Moving Units. Lookout for the purple tentacles painted across the front.
Great drink specials for a music venue: vodka red bull and a whiskey ginger with bitters. Both come in a pint glass, both are $10. Turn up.
This is a poor concert venue, in part because of the physical design, and in (large) part because of the house staff. If possible, see your concert anywhere else.
The concerts. The renovation of the auditorium. The mosaic history of the building is fascinating. It is now associated with Live Nation.
Park on the lower level 5 and you pop right out of the garage after your concert.
This former church turned music venue is a great place for a future live music=success B.R.E.. However, fight the impulse to be right in front of the stage. Sound much better about 30 feet back.
The beautifully revived church-like 1914 building is the official West Coast home of New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band, so naturally the music lineup leans towards the soulful and folky side. Read more.
Great music venue. Small. Good small.
Experience an intimate concert with The Kooks or band of your choice at The Warfield. Read more.
Concert venue
Live jazz on Wednesdays from 7p to 10p. Not a Lindy Hop venue, limited space to dance.
Get in before the jazz band plays. The beers are $3 and the blues are great
8-10 Wednesday is live music
Lovely Live music
Strong cocktails, cozy atmosphere, small back patio, good vinyl collection and sometimes there's live music, sit on a bench and people-watch
Great cocktail list and live jazz. There is a Hammond organ built in to the bar
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
