Performing arts theater
👍👍 In spite of the freezing cold SF summer weather (dress in layers and warmly!) it was a total blast! So clever, creative, great use of space (street, storefront, GGPark), tech (earphones), costumes, talent, and puppets. Ok, I don't get out much since covid, but still it was fabulously entertaining an...

Event venue
👍 Wonderful place, great energy, kind people, great offerings! My only reason for not giving 5 stars was being on the receiving end of a business policy with which I strongly disagree and hope will change. I was 10-15 min late to the 9am yoga class and wasn't able to get in the building. I waited outs...

Lion's Den Lounge and Bar
Bar
👍 Great little Lounge bar, live bands, great DJ music afterwards. Drinks are great but priced according to SF pricing. When the live show is on stage you see more of an older crowd in their 40's and above, once the DJ takes over it gets busy with barely 21 years old.

Taube Atrium Theater
Performing arts theater
👍 Good intimate space with fine acoustics. Room for only 275, but good sight lines. Excellent venue for last night's SFO Chorus concert in honor of Ian Robertson's 35 years as director. Well programmed, ranging from Mozart to Ravel to a world premiere commission. Beautiful singing and musicianship. Co...

St. Joseph's Church
Event venue
👍👍 Important Note: this church has not offered mass or other church services since 1989 after the Loma Prieta earthquake hit. The owner could not afford repairs, so the church sat vacant for many years. In 2012, a plan was approved to renovate the church, converting the interior into office spaces whil...

Music City San Francisco
Live music venue
🫤 This is an okay experience as long as you have low standards and don't mind athlete's foot. The shared showers are not clean, and gave my roommate the gnarliest case of athlete's foot I've ever witnessed first hand. She had to go to the ER. The hotel, overall, is pretty unclean. The private rooms ar...

The Box SF -Historic Meeting and Event Spaces
Event venue
👍👍 The Box was a beautiful atmosphere to host our intimate wedding with 60 guests. The venue itself needs very little as it is already a warm/inviting space. The venue coordinator, Melanie, was an absolute dream to work with. She promptly answered questions, facilitated walk throughs, and coordinated w...

Korean restaurant
👍👍 Very casual spot on valencia with friendly staff and great menu. The drinks were great—I ordered a Spring in Seoul cocktail and the cucumber flavors were very refreshing. Additionally, the food portions and prices were generous. We got the french fries and boneless chicken, and it was enough to serv...

👍👍 I played this with my husband and 8 year old. It was just challenging enough for all of us. I was very impressed with my 8 year old on how she used memory and logic to solve the puzzles.
