Attended a (great) conference here recently and loved the venue. I shall be back for the jazz soon!
With state of the art acoustics and an adjustable amphitheater that can accommodate up to 700, the SF Jazz Center is a temple to the genre and there's not a bad seat in the house. Read more
The Bad Plus was fantastic. Super cool venue, clean , not a bad seat in the house.
Great acoustics and sight-lines throughout - which makes seats in the second price tier just as good as full-price tickets. Third price tier seats are way up high though.
Performances start on time here. Get there early, you can get a drink at the bar , and bring it right in. Try the Vieux Carre.
I felt in love with this place! Amazing concerts and perfect space. I wish I could go every week!
Every seat is great & impeccable sound inside the auditorium . Go to the first floor restroom during intermission: no line in the ladies room! Great staff in the cocktail bar .
Hardly a bad seat in the house, with a good bar attached. Pro tip: there's a bathroom upstairs too.
The $64 million, 35,000-square-foot SF Jazz Center is America’s first stand-alone space for jazz , with a 700-seat auditorium designed to evoke both a club and concert hall .
Such a good venue, not one crappy seat in the venue. World class musicians . So close to everything. Can't go wrong.
Fantastic built-for-Jazz building near City Hall . The acoustics are great and perfect for jazz . Feels more like an amphitheater than a classic concert hall .
Awesome venue. Only great seats in the house and amazing artists ! Loved it!
Every seat in the Miner Auditorium is very decent! It's a great venue. Also, the Joe Henderson Lab is small and intimate .
Intimate venue, always great artists , cool bar/restaurant. Definitely a perfect place for a first date.
Have dinner or a cocktail at South before the show and step into the best jazz venue in San Francisco (or maybe anywhere).
Sound is great in every section, but best right by the sound booth (of course). Be punctual cause the show starts on time!
Great venue, though disappointed that I wound up with such an obstructed view at full price
One of the finest venues for live jazz in North America. Sightlines and sound quality are impeccable.
Awesome venue! Great acoustics . And you can get a drink and take it to your seat.
Nice venue for events . Seats 500 in the main auditorium . Good WiFi .
If you are stuck choosing between seats behind the stage or to the side chose the former as the sound is better. Seats aren't that Cindy but who cares?
Get tickets up front and dance with the band!
Best place for jazz in the entire Bay Area.
Beware the second tier of balcony seats ; the acoustics are fine but the bar stool-height seats are very uncomfortable.
Not a bad seat in the house. Get a drink to take in with you.
The incredible Zakir Hussain
Forget dinner at the restaurant here. Much better options in the neighborhood .
Besides the strange feeling of knowing black people systematically removed from this community, glad to still be able to hear jazz here.
you can bring drinks into the performance hall - the seats even have drink holders.
Great sight lines . Upstairs bar .
Great sound from wherever you sit
Don't get the gumbo -- taste like shark chum. Try the snapper it was great!
All seats are great. Just go!
I'm finally here, it's finally here. I'm getting a strong drink and Jazz .
gorgeous, versatile contemporary space.
Order the New Orleans Cocktail , solid.
Just opened only one of its kind in the nation Jazz center.
Every seat is a great view !
Great Music , nice new venue
Great Long Now talks!

GREAT SOUND
I was there for a conference
Our second home :)
Obviously, a great place for a quick bite before a SFJazz show. It's a nice neighborhood place in its own right. Being a cool jazzy bar, they know how to riff on martinis, and the salmon is great! - Claude Harrison
Always has good music, always great cocktails and always decent star - Autumn Khattar
Such an elegant atmosphere and great music here - Ozgur Pamukcu
What a place! Nice decorated basement with top shows of great jazz performers...our experience I have to say, superb. Friendly staff, not many food options. - Gsus S.S.
One of the best burgers I've ever had, and great fries too. Excellent steak tartare. Great place, great ambience. - Muggins
The spicy tan tan ramen with ground chicken and spicy broth! & Dashi eggs. - ᴡ B
Excellent French selection. I always have to start with their onion soup. Tres bien - Dom
