The Warfield

I went to The Warfield about 4 years ago to see Velvet Revolver, Slash's (the guitarist) band at the time. Besides the fact that Scott Weiland was so drunk he fell off the stage twice i enjoyed the show, the old school feel of an opera house while 20 marshall cabinets where blasting hard rock gave me nothing but joy. I recommend this place to anyone who has an idol coming to town.

Located in the heart of San Fransico, near transit, restaurants, shopping, The Warfield Theatre is a great place to enjoy music, and night life.

Hands down, this is the place to go for a show! Small and intimate, you feel like the show is a private performance! I saw Alice in Chains here years ago and it's still my best concert I've ever been (the band's skills aside.) Located on Market with easy access to BART, transit, parking and of course restaurants and bars, it's easy to get to and centrally located. The sound is incredible in there and the ambiance is amazing. It feels glamorous and old school. I wish ever band I ever wanted to see played there exclusively!

The Warfield is the best concert venue that I’ve ever been to. It’s a small-ish theater that looks like something from a movie, with its ornate ceilings and intimate staging. Sure, the seating is slightly steep towards to back, but the atmosphere at this place is amazing. I recently saw an Ed Sheeran show (who is a great live performer might I add) and the acoustics were unreal. The sound, lights, and overall layout of the theater made me feel like I was a lot closer than I actually was. The venue itself made me want to book concerts here in the future. The only problem I encountered was the time it took to exit the building after the concert. It took nearly a half hour to get to the door from my seat, as there was a human traffic jam from the front of the building to the back. I’d suggest leaving asap after the performance to avoid waiting in line.

I'd never been to the Warfield before, but I'd heard of it, and about all the hard rock/metal acts that have performed there over the decades. I was going to see Motorhead, so I was a little taken aback when I walked into a venue peeled straight from the old Muppet Show. The Warfield hasn't changed since the Roaring 20s, which makes watching a dirty, grimy, ear-splitting rock show there kind of surreal. But it's definitely a gorgeous theater - very clean and (CLICHE ALERT) without a bad seat in the house. Really, the theater setup allows a great view from anywhere. The acoustics are equally impressive; my brain is still rattling and the concert was MONTHS ago. There's also a spacious upper lobby with a bar, concession stand and walls lined with framed photos of past performers that make it feel like a time capsule. The bathroom is easily reached and pretty clean, although that last part may depend on the crowd you're in. If there's one problem I have with the Warfield, it's the location. I'll kindly describe it as "shady," and you can come to your own conclusions. I ate at a deli/donut shop across the street which seemed to second as a gathering place for hostile beggars. And right next door there's a strip club...I think (not that I would ever go in a place like that. No...not me....never...). If someone you really enjoy is performing, I give the Warfield a strong recommendation. Just bring friends and some kind of GPS with you and you'll have a great time.

Hands down one of the best concert venues. It is a great size, not too small, not too big, and is always kept clean. I saw Mumford and Sons here and it was a life changing experience. It isn't in the best neighborhood, but just be smart and aware when you're walking there and you'll be fine!

The Warfield is one of my favorite concert venues! They always have great artists coming through. The venue itself is beautiful, and there is a ton of space since there's an upper mezzanine in addition to downstairs. As other reviewers have said, it's definitely not in the best part of San Francisco. However, I've never felt particularly unsafe on the walk to the Warfield...dealing with crazies is just a part of SF. Absolutely go to this venue if you get the chance.

There are always lots of performers at the Warfield. Last time I went, I saw Avicii and it was so fun. It is really cool inside -- it's like an older theater with lots of pictures of those who have performed there. The staff is really friendly and organized and take care of everyone. It is really clean inside and they always have water for visitors. Although it is not in the best neighborhood in San Francisco (the Tenderloin), it is located relatively near BART --I suggest taking a cab from there to the venue. There are also lots of places to eat near here.

The walk from BART through the Tenderloin isn't my favorite, but the Warfield attracts some of the best artists. I love the classic interior. The walls are lined with photographs and posters from every great concert. The staff has always been friendly, and I found getting water to be pretty easy. I've seen a huge range of performances here, including Pepper, Matisyahu, and Avicii. It's convenient, attractive, and timeless.

Another great music venue in the city. Stuck in a not so bueno area of the city, but it's worth the trek for some great entertainment. The venue is an old school theater styled place that holds some great artists, musicians, and performers. Near by there are a TON of great food places to hit up before a concert or performance. Great venue.
