The mystical cavern of music

I love this place. It's like some gothic cathedral of rock. It is genuinely huge, in all three dimensions; actually, in four, as its truly historic timeline is well laid out via the many posters going back to the 60s of performers who've been there before. It's the opposite of intimate; it's ethereal and wonderful.

The Warfield is the best venue I've seen a show at so far in San Francisco. The building itself is really cool, an old converted theater, with a lot of the original detail work intact. I liked that I could stand out in the lobby with friends at the bar while we waited for the opening act to finish before going in and finding our seats in the balcony. If you're more into General Admission, they've got a big open floor on the ground level for you too. The acoustics and sightlines were all very good, and I really enjoyed the show I saw. The only downside is the sketchy neighborhood it's in.

Something for everyone

The Fillmore may be more storied as far as SF venues go, but for my money there's no better spot than the Warfield. Varied seating and standing spots make this a versatile venue, with historic operatic architecture moldings, and posters in the lobby. Balcony, tables, or 15 ft from your favorite performer - not a bad seat in this house.
