Fox Theater San Francisco

After a massive renovation, this uptown theater retains its classic cool: Witness the gold detailing, opulent red curtains, and The Den, its very own bar serving specialty cocktails. It’s more old-school parlor than concert venue, and we like it that way.

Davies Symphony Hall San Francisco

As its name suggests, Davies is home to SF’s renowned symphony, led by the charismatic Michael Tilson Thomas, but the gorgeous theater also hosts many a visiting musical and performance act.

Rickshaw Stop San Francisco

Rock out with your ’hawk out at this sweaty, sultry club where rockers, punk heads, and electronic fans merge. Thick red curtains envelop the dance floor downstairs, while a more mellow upstairs has a few couches to lounge on. (Tip: The sangria ain’t half bad, but consider yourself warned.)
