Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This legendary San Francisco landmark once pulsed with music from icons that shaped a generation, including Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead. Today, it offers the same electric energy for couples seeking a venue that combines an iconic cultural history with a forward-thinking vibe.
  • The showstopping Ballroom is the venue’s dramatic centerpiece, with soaring 24-foot ceilings, concert-quality sound, and customizable architectural lighting that can drench the room in color or spotlight your first dance. 
  • The multi-level layout spread across over 30,000 square feet gives you room to play, with cocktail hours on one floor, receptions on another, and breakout areas tucked throughout—all expertly managed by events experts Escape the Routine in a central Polk Gulch location close to Nob Hill and Union Square.
