Great American Music Hall

Details

Description

Known for its opulent style and extraordinary elegance, the Great American Music Hall (GAMH) is one of San Francisco's most picturesque music venues. The Tenderloin-based rock club was built right after the city's 1906 earthquake and fire as a restaurant and bordello, and later became a jazz club after WWII. It served as a Moose Lodge for a time. By the early '70s the building was in serious need of repair and almost met the wrecking ball, however with a last-minute reprieve it became the Great American Music Hall in 1972. Refurbished, repainted, and ready to go, the 470-seat concert hall has since welcomed everyone from legendary jazz artists Count Basie and Sarah Vaughan to Arcade Fire and Social Distortion's Mike Ness. Along with its lavish interior features — like ornately decorated balconies, thick marble columns, and ceiling frescoes — GAMH also boasts a large oak floor for both seats and standing room, two full bars, and a state-of-the-art sound system. .
