Went for a concert this past Friday. For those looking for information on food and seating, if you are the very first people through the door when they open, head upstairs to the left and there's about four tables where you can sit and still see the show from the balcony. There's also a bar in that area and another bar and food available in the Poster Room. If you are lucky enough to secure one of these tables, send one of your party into the Poster Room, there's a variety of bar food such as nachos, vegetarian sliders, burgers, quesadillas, delicious cookies etc. Pay there and get a table number. They will send a server with your food back at your original balcony table when it's ready. Food service is only available on the second floor. As far as sightlines on the first floor in the ballroom, it gets pretty packed, and if you're small you might want to find a space up front. Tall people will have no problems from the sight lines from the back of the crowd. …

Fun and easy place to see a show, if you don't mind standing. Easy to get in and out, large bar on premises, and just stuffed with historic posters and photos of all the legendary bands that have played here.Giant chandeliers in the main concert room are iconic.

And, upstairs, there's a poster room covered in classic rock posters. They had a musician playing in the room before our show. The service is great. Many of the staff seem to have been there for years and they really care about the place. And the patrons. The beer selection is good and fairly priced. And, when you leave, you can partake in a Bill Graham tradition--red apples to go.…

The Fillmore has been there since the 30’s. Great venue, sound, lights regardless of what you’ve come to see. Be prepared to stand or get there super early for limited seating.

This area has been diverse historically, once the home of Japanese-Americans, but they were removed during the war. Then migrants came to work in the war industries, including lots of African Americans, and it became one of the hearts of Black San Francisco. Now it has changed again. Come and stroll and enjoy the great architecture and the cool eating and drinking.…
