Seems like a great venue for rave or mosh-pit style shows. Not sure Id want a seat, but i loved dancing in the open crowd at the Robyn concert.Truly appreciate the ability to bring my own water bottle and the availability of water stations throughout the venue. Keeping the crowds hydrated was a great idea and we thank you!

Bill Graham is such an amazing venue. Been there for many events and its so flexible for its setup that Im always a little surprised.Of course this date was for Armin who arguably does the best show of any DJ.Highly recommend the venue with many bathrooms, bars and foods counters you feel like every things is close at hand with out massive lines.

I love this venue. Theres plenty of good parking in the garage. Theres a nice park full of interesting folks to watch while we waited in line for 2 hours. It was a general admission show and I was with some people that are very serious about The 1975 so we got there early. I DONT really care so I moved seats all over the place during the show and there really isnt a bad seat or bad sound. The singer actually saw an emergency near the front during the show and within minutes we watched the security wade in, scoop up the naked rolling-boy and sweep him up to the well-staffed first aid station. Kind of awe-inspiring considering how packed the floor was!

So thankful to the city for allowing for the use of such a beautiful public spaces. I really enjoyed the overnight transformation along with festivities the next day. Truly a wonderful venue for many occasions worth a good stroll through.

Went to the restrooms at intermission and was blown away by how clean they were. Great job on that! The venue was pretty awesome. We did find the acoustics for the Head and the Heart show were a lot better the higher you got..in the auditorium...cant speak to the other high. Im going back to see of Monsters and Men in a few weeks and am excited its there.

One of my favorite places to see musical artist. Acoustics are excellent that even excess use of bass doesnt sound distorted. Plus side is free water station to refill my Camelbak.

Saw The Chemical Brothers here.Great venue. Staff was super cool. Easily accessible.Use the top floor restrooms as the bottom floor lines build up quickly.Booze was pricey.Sound was amazing.

I frequent Bill Graham exclusively for raves and I love this place. Theres always amazing artists (and sometimes even multi-artist shows) coming through here and the venue is HUGE. It can get pretty warm, but for the amount of people packed inside this space they do a good job of keeping it cool. Anyway, Ive seen some incredible shows here. Ive included a few pictures of the stage

This is my favorite music venue. It is beautiful and wonderful to see any event here that you can. I think its amazing for edm events and rock concerts. If you are debating going to an event here, then I recommend you do it!

Billie was great! Great venue, love the seated balcony area. Would prefer assigned seat though.

The day is congratulations class of 2019 San Francisco, everyone are happy happy and happy I hope everyone can go to their wants the university for further study, to pursue their dream.

Gorgeous venue, very clean, bathroom was tidy, drink/food pricing was fair, alcohol-$$$, staff was helpful and pleasant. Bart is located about 1 block away. There is permanent seating in the balcony area, the concert I attended was General Admission the floor was open for standing. I was pleased with the available standing room, it was never too crowded to me. I will happily come back to this venue!

Best venue in the bay area! The go to venue for all the top talent. Reasonable priced drinks. Great sound. Always a good time. Try to prove me wrong!

Like watching Lizzo in a high school auditorium. Not necessarily a bad thing. All hail the queen.

This is a great medium-sized venue close to downtown SF! Its located close to BART and Muni stops, and right next to City Hall. I went here for an Arctic Monkeys concert. Waiting in line to go in probably could have been a little more organized. I was in line across the street, and once the line started moving forward, some people just ran across past the barriers instead of crossing at the crosswalk. Its not the most up-to-date venue either. But the concessions are fairly priced around ~$10. Staff and crew are nice though!

The sound was just okay but it is in historic venue and they do a pretty good job. Go here if you love the banjo about to see and have mid level expectations of an evening of music.

Great sound at this venue. If an artist that you like is playing here you need to go. Whether you are sitting or standing, the sound is awesome and this venue does a great job of catering to different artists with different styles. Just go. You will like what you see and hear.

Popular concert spot.Theres coat check, usually $3 per item, downstairs.Bars and food. Big bar in the main floor towards the right of the main entrance.If you want a spot on the dance, go during the opening act! By then youll have to go upstairs if you dont want to get squished.Fast drinks are upstairs.

Entry could be faster-waited in line around 30minsASAP concert was greatWould’ve been better if he hadn’t waited an hour and a half to start

Best venue for EDM live music! Have attended many great events at this Venue - Armin, Above and beyond, illenium and many more! Have comfortable upper deck seating with good view and big open dance floor! Definitely would recommend this place if you are a music lover!!!

Great sound, awesome places, spacious, with coat check, enough bathrooms for the crowds, not gender neutral yet, outside the theater venue there are lounges areas to take a break, water fountains, there is also a huge spacious full bar with lounge areas, sofas and tables to hang out for a bit while you wait for the concert to start.I always have so much fun in that place, accesible for Bart.Great security at the entrance, you can bring your empty Bottle of water. They check you out.

Venue is huge! Great sound and staff was friendly. Coat check was totally reasonable price and they didnt even scoff at my backpack. It was searched thoroughly at entrance.

Really enjoyed the concert here. Went to the park right after to chill which is in front. Loved it

Nice venue, easy parking across the street in the parking garage. Went there to see The 1975 so of course I had a great time. The area is a little sketch late at night tho.

Amazing for live music! Crazy lights shows and insanely loud speakers/bass

This place always has amazing shows. It’s also a very large venue, so while it still gets crowded, it’s not as bad as the average club.

A great venue for concerts. The security line always moves quickly, and the lines for drinks moves quickly too. There is good air circulation to keep people cool and the sound system is always on point. Lots of great concerts here.

The best venue to see any show in SF! Acoustics are great and youll be able to get close to the stage or find a spot in the balcony to enjoy the show.

I saw there the Queens of the stone age show. I noticed the sound in the upper balconies is corrupted. the sound below was great, but the stage is too low and its hard for short people to see too much. Apart from that the facilities are good. Sits are not too comfy but its nice to have the option to sit down.

Good venue for big, loud shows. Deadmau5 was amazing.

This was INSANE!!! In a good way though! AJR is the best and staff and security were amazing! Thanks for such a great experience!

Fun lil theater ! Saw Clusterfest shows here last year and Armchair Expert. But because its so massive getting out is pretty hectic !

Worst sound of any venue I have ever been too. Just terrible. You can understand the people singing or talking. The sound bounces all over. I was warned that it was bad but bought tickets anyhow. I will never waste my money on another show there. Never! It should be leveled and made new.

Here’s the thing, I LOVE who comes to this venue, BUT I don’t like who boomy and crowded this place can get. I tend to go to places like the Independent and love the service/size/sound one could experience. Here, it’s a normal large venue with nothing really special.

Fun place to work and be near the center of downtown.

Large yet intimate concert venue. Steep seats mean you get a good view even from the back rafters. Floor is all one level.

Free filtered water, big spacious main auditorium, 2 more side rooms. Food quality is decent and the price is reasonable ($11 for a large serving of chicken tenders and plenty of fries). Great venue.

The staff does a terrible job (or more like never does their job) to clear the rails on the balcony level. Dont waste your time or money trying to get good balcony seats. We understand that there is a walkway for trash and going in-and-out, but thats different than people completely just not sitting down and standing at the rails to watch the entire show and blocking everyone behind them.

Had such a good time at this concert!!! These guys are so good!! Very entertaining.

I had such a great time at NIN! This is a great venue with great acoustics! I highly recommend this place for your next concert!

Great auditorium for having big conferences! Right in the downtown of SF!

The venue is huge and th general area is really big. The smoking area was closed 30 min before the concert is over! Finding a parking spot was easy compared to other places in downtown

Good place for a concert. Seating is tight, so if your a big guy, or gal it will be very uncomfortable. Sound was ok, not great. Staff very friendly. Nine inch nails rocked the house.

A great theater to see a conedy show, small concery...anything !!

Bill Graham is the premiere EDM venue in San Francisco due to its combination of plentiful balcony seats for sights and spacious floor area for dancing. Nothing beats a sold out show here!

Great venue for a lot of people. Plenty of room and super clean!

Great venue, if you want your space go to 2nd floor. Its like a bigger version of Fox Theater in Oakland.

Just came here for deadmau5 concert. It brings me a joyful memory of my college time when I was first introduced to the EDM genre. Although it wasnt my fiances favorite, and probably rightfully so, it was such an unforgettable epic concert that ended 2010s. It is also a perfect way to open up 2020s in such an energetic mode!

Great venue, cant believe I hadnt been here before for a show. Saw Morrissey. Acoustics arent great and you have to go down into the basement to find the toilets, but the lines for drinks move quickly and the venue is in a very convenient location. There are some venues in the Bay Area that suck and I just refuse to buy tickets for (like the Greek theatre) this isnt one of em.

Huge venue and been coming for a number of years. They always bring the best DJs!

Clusterfest was great!

Lots of parking garages nearby, the one underground usually fills up fast but lots of other options around. Fun venue with one big room. Bathrooms are decent. Air flow isn’t the best but manageable.

Dope spot! Lots of space and plenty of restrooms. Awesome staff kept things in order during Deadmau5 bringing in the new year. Good spot!!

One of my least favorite venues in SF. actually, it is my least favorite venues in SF. why? rave babies. most shows are All Ages while the others are 18 (or is it 16)+. Its honestly not the worst thing in the world but just interesting because there are times I go to other venues with similar magnitude of artist because I know its going to be a better crowd. Thats all :)

Recently completed remodeled, now back open for business. This venue has always been iconic in San Francisco. Now with seating thats a shade more comfortable. Its really all about getting on the floor to get up close to your favorite artist.

Great food and great venue. Lots of food spots inside and outside. Memories so good.

I was there for the galacy unpacked 2019 event and it was an amazing journey super awesome

Tickets are always more expensive here than other venues but I just have no other complaints about the place. Clean, large, easy to get in and out of. Drink lines are moderate in size. If youre a fan of music in SF, youre a fan of Bill Graham

Public transportations access very close. A nice lounge when you want to seat and talk in a quiet area. Acoustic is good.

Great place to have events. 2 floors and you can sit down upstairs. Perfect for raves

Love bill graham. every event feels like an adventure. drinks are a bit pricey though. layout of venue is cool. needs more restrooms.

This is one of my favorite venues to work we are a family there and hands down the best experience you will have not just the artist but the staff are wonderful great location well worth it to see a show here

Got to go to a free concert here. Going with 15,000 conference attendees made the line getting in fun but it worked. The venue is easy to navigate and was clean.

Pretty good venue. The security is super efficient and the line was quick. Most of the seating is good too.

Ive been coming to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium regularly for the last 3 years to attend company conferences. One of the finest spaces of its kind.

Its a nice venue but I do wish they could events could end at 2am....

Absolutely love this venue. Ive seen so many amazing performances. All the tickets are general admission (hallelujah). Huge lounge area thats great to kick back in leaving this place hard to feel overcrowded. Its nice to be able to take advantage of the huge standing space by the giant stage. Probably my favorite venue, Ive had countless awesome memories.

Loved volunteering during Pride working in the Treasury dept.

Its pretty dope if youre able to get through the crowd or find a good spot to watch the show

Smaller venue but more intimate. Love the vibe of this theater.

Love the place any event there you will know it will be great. Parking garage is near by so not far of a walk. Nice little play ground right in front. Bathroom are nice and clean unless you there for a big event like a rave. But still great bathroom. The employees there are helpful.

We recently saw a concert at the brand new Golden1 center in Sacramento. Bill Graham Civic blew it out of the water. We saw Galantis here and the acoustics were outstanding. Weve got another concert booked for this month and are looking forward to it. The concessions are great too!

Deadmau5, new years. I still cant hear anything in my left ear.

I went here for an esports event and the setup was okay. We were sitting in the 6th row and it was a little too much for my neck. The layout for the event was beautiful though.

Fantastic event - 2020 Crab Fest benefitting the Parks & Rec/Golden Gste Park. We put on the feed bag for sure!

The staff does a good job at getting the security lines to move. It feels safe here too. The balcony is where its at

I was at this show on October 2nd 2019, Greta Van Fleet is awesome, the show was awesome the encore was epic, like a second set. Loved it and will see them again if given a chance.

Local legendary venue. Cavernous

LOVE this venue and general seating! Just cant resist these bacon hot dog carts after the concert..... >

I paid for three non obstructed seats. There was no security by my section and people blocked our view to the stage. I went out the first worker I approached told he didnt have a phone send me to the lady by the restrooms. She told me she would go and call the manager. I waited over 10 minutes, nobody came. Then, I saw another man that works there told him about the people blocking our view. Asked my section and told him 307. He said okay and nobody came. If I want to be standing for 2 hours during a concert, it should be my free will not because I am left no other choice to see the artist performing.

Showed up early, stood by front row and had a great view. Came all the way from New York and planned months ahead to see the Chemical Brothers.

Great venue and acoustics. Seating above in the balcony is great. The floor is open enough to step out if needed.

Went here for dreamstate and it was incredible. The venue is huge, the security and ticket check is very fast and there is always easy access to restrooms, water and seating. You never have to line up. Sound system is great too. Id definitely recommend

Enjoyed the show and didnt have any issues. The layout was a bit odd, and from what I saw, there were only one set of restrooms and the line for the womens was so long that it would have taken me forever to use it. I didnt get any food or drinks, so I cant say if they were any good.

Its a larger venue and is obviously bigger that a club or theater so its not quite some typical evening where you go and check out some band and have a few drinks. But the place is not so unbelievably big that it makes you feel like youre in some massive stadium miles from the band. Its a huge house but it doesnt feel like it. Which is cool.The staff were all pros and the food and snacks being relegated to a defined space was pretty nice. You could duck out and grab some French Fries and hear your friends talk at the same time.Youll go because you have to go but you wont hate it at all. Youll have a good time and youll gladly go again.

Nice music venue... No stress with the staff, clean restrooms, great seating, & probably the best show Ive seen in a long time. (Jamiroquai) Thank you

Nice size venue with lots of seating on the second flood. I saw Dada Life here and was surprised at the accessibility of restrooms and water fountains. The venue sounded great and I didnt find he food or alcohol to be way overpriced its expensive but just as expensive in other cities and most things are more expensive in SF

This auditorium is super nice. Great seatings as well. We sat in the top balcony and still saw everything at my nieces graduation ceremony. The bathrooms are nice and clean. The staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our time here.

Seats and aisles are narrow. Sound pretty good. Show (Massive Attack with Elizabeth Fraser) was excellent but started an hour late and only lasted 90 minutes with no encore.

This is my home venue and my concert home. Its not perfect, but its always been great vibes and fond memories. Ive seen my brother and cousins graduate here and Ive seen some of my favorite bands and djs here. One of my favorite things about the venue is that no matter how packed, how sold out, theres always room to mellow out. PRO TIP: if you face the stage, the back wall on the left side always has room. You can chill against the wall or get right up against the rail.

My wife and I came here back in December to watch a Marshmellow Show. We felt little bit out of place being on the older end of the spectrum and not taking all the drugs that these kids seem to be on but we still had plenty of fun and were glad that we were able to find a bathroom that didnt have to match rampant drug use and young girls getting sick with their friends holding their hair back. I think in the future will stick to concerts that are not electronic music as that seems to attract a lot of young kids on drugs. The only thing that was a very negative experience that night was the fact that people are smoking cigarettes indoors and it got a little out of hand there should have been more people monitoring that.

It definitely was not the worst venue, but the lack of professionalism from staff and inability to control a crowd sets it apart from other good venues in the bay area. For one, we waited from 8am in line to see the show that started at 730pm. When they opened the doors to the venue the staff did not care who got in first, instead they allowed people to form a crowd of people trying to push their way toward the front, and so they did. So we waited for nothing because people who arrived much later than we did were able to push through the front. Once the crowd settled it was chaos inside. It was hot, humid, and the people in the front were being crushed. Something they could have avoided if the line went in in a more organized manner. The most degrading voice over the speaker told us to take several steps back. The show was delayed because of this. The staff then came to the front and started throwing water bottles to cool people down. The show was great, but the staff was so rude, and the crowd so chaotic it makes me want avoid this place.

Not the best sound engineering or acoustics.Balcony seats do feel quite far away.Decently priced concession stand.

One of the best venues in SF. Magical experiences here every time

Great place to see a show. 20 oz draft beers are about $15.

Watched Hans Zimmer here and it was such an amazing concert. There were times when the whole place would vibrate even to your bones.

I have seen numerous memorable shows here and they also host Project Homeless Connect four times a year

I recently saw Jack White, and my experience at the venue was superb. The staff was very pleasant, and the sound was very good. Since it was a general admission show I was concerned because I was recovering from back surgery. I wasnt sure if I could stand for the complete show. Once I made it into the Auditorium I was instructed to speak to a staff member who was in charge of providing seating to people with a handicap or someone in my condition. To my amazement both my girlfriend and I were provided special seating in an incredible location. Because of their excellent service we were able to have wonderful experience. I highly recommend attending an event at this venue.

Yes was there to see Anderson paak. Was a fantastic show. Please paak come back again.

Have one of the best concert here. Nice building all around. Great snack bar
