Noel Yuri-BermúdezJune 1, 2018A very intimate venue. You should probably bring protection for your ears. It gets loud!
Melissa WJune 11, 2016Gets hot and sweaty like an armpit so wear layers. 2 drink min at the bar (or $ only).
Trogdor BurninatorJune 8, 2022Bring earplugs. My ears are still ringing loudly over a month after the last concert I went to. The volume is far beyond loud; it's deafening.
Trevor HillOctober 18, 2015My favorite venue in the city, small and intimate but never overly crowded
Lots of BOD artists have played here! Love this venue--come before the bands get huge
Just saw the Killers kill it here last night. Such great sound and crowd!
The Independent is one of San Francisco's treasures. You get to see great bands before they're big, the venue is the perfect size and you won't find any screaming teens.
Mos Def tonight (2/3/10) at one of the best places to see a show in The City.
Audrey KimuraFebruary 10, 2011My favorite club in the world. I have Japan Nite US tour annually here.It's Mar.27th Sunday. Please come!
MazdaNovember 17, 2010The Independent promotes positive change by proactively reducing our venue’s environmental footprint.
Dan AbramsonMarch 22, 2011Black Joe and the honebears rock. Early April. Big brass band sassy snarling horns.,
Thriving IvoryApril 30, 2009We released our first independent CD here in June 2006. Also, Paul used to work here as a bouncer. He got to see a lot of great shows, fight a guy and get his band mates into show.
If you live in the neighborhood, run home for a beer & shots between sets.
Debbi GoedenDecember 30, 2011If you are going to the independent, go to "Da Pit" and grab some BBQ- it looks run down but the Q is GOOD.

"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."
