The Beat Museum

Talk to the owner! He’s very knowledgeable about that era and amicable to make recommendations. Decent and very interesting collectibles. Make sure you check out their discount books .

I totally enjoyed this museum , was greeted as soon as I walked and everyone was so friendly offering lots of information. Really cool memorabilia and I had lots of fun looking at buying old records.

This is a museum that will really speak to some people (like it did to me) but I'm not sure it is for everyone. It's small and a little grimy and rickety -- just like it ought to be. I was inspired.

ON THE ROAD and HOWL changed my life. A must for anyone who loves the Beat Generation and the literature , art , and music of that time. And if you haven't experienced yet. GO and by On The Road . :-)

Good introduction to an important time in american literature . Is a bit small or low key , kind of a museum on a budget but if you're a fan of the beats or just curious about them I think worth it.

A museum dedicated to the Beat Generation , which grew right here in North Beach . A fantastic collection of Beat memorabilia that will take you back to this important time in literary history.

Unique little museum . Great bookstore in the front with rare first editions for sale as well as cheap used books

Home to a comprehensive collection of Beat memorabilia including Allen Ginsberg’s typewriter, Jack Kerouac’s plaid wool shirt , and a myriad of vintage copies of Beat literature .

Was never a huge Beat fan, but the tour is well worth it if one is interested in the literary and attendant social change in this movement. Fantastic!

This place is full of treasures old and new, such as Allen’s typewriter, Jack’s jacket , and even the car used in the recent "On The Road " movie .

The Beat Museum! Lots of books

Check out the rare signed books in foreign languages. Bukowski in Swedish!

Simple, to the point and made to beat you out

Cool memorabilia and pop culture artifacts

I loved the documentary ! Spend two hours in the museum .

More about the beatniks than u need to know.

It's a bit rinky dink & a little sad. But fun and interesting, Jack& Neil RIP.

Loved it here :D Make sure you get a Jack Kerouac shirt !

I miss the big used bookstore that was here, but they still have a bathtub full of used mysteries -3 for $5

A little thin on relics for me.

$8 and didn't go into it.

if u r in SF, this is a must to do

Random. What even is this place? Should be a porn store instead. Maybe it was.

Not worth going.

Always on the Road

Um dos lugares que eu Mais quería conhecer em Frisco!!

Si eres fanático de los Beats es un imperdible.
