Great American Music Hall
Arts & Culture · San Francisco, CA
About
Legend has it that the Great American Music Hall used to be a brothel. True or not, this 1907 venue has a famously "sexy room" with ornate Barbary Coast-era details and a graceful mezzanine that wraps the main floor. The talent buyer favors the avant garde, so you'll find eclectic acts here: post-rock godfathers Tortoise have played multiple times, and indie favorite Tune-Yards kicked off a recent tour from this stage.
It's in the Tenderloin neighborhood and open limited hours (Wed 2-6pm, Thu 2-6pm, Fri 2-6pm). For a different vibe, check out The Fillmore nearby if you're up for more live music. No cover charge data, and Yelp's 4.2 rating with 863 reviews suggests a solid reputation.
