I've never been in the balcony , but I've always had great experiences on the floor. The venue is on the semi-sketchy part of Market St, so just be aware if you're walking alone.

The last gasping remnants of SF arts culture are it’s historic music venues . Warfield is lovely. Loud and clear sound + spacious multi-tiered floor + steep mezzanine = good view from everywhere.

Roy Scopazzi

My favorite large venue in San Fran. Park at the large parking lot nearby or take BART, don't try for street parking . Don't worry about where you're sitting, it's a great view from anywhere.

Architecturally beautiful inside, this nearly 100-year-old former vaudeville theater stands out among venues. Buy your GA tickets early, they sell it fast.

Brian Strauss

A classic SF venue. Balcony upstairs for those that want to sit. Great GA area on the main floor -- very close to the stage.

Daniel Salinas

There is not a bad seat at this venue. Even if you are in the last row of the balcony , you will have an amazing time.

Kevin Grant

Cool concert venue downtown. I saw "The Fray" there in highschool, lol. Check website for whats coming http://www.thewarfieldtheatre.com/

Armelle Goreux

Drinks are expensive . They can only make the basic cocktails for $13. Careful when you go. You might end up getting balcony seating if you are going for an edm thing. Also, edm stuff ends around 11:30

Manon Van Buren ????

Beautiful venue with great views even from the balcony .

Matt Opsahl

The Good: Great views from the back and solid sound. The Ugly: Beers are $10 and they don't have free water to keep you hydrated, only $4 bottled.

Allison Kasic

I love the staggered levels on the floor. Makes it so much easier to see the stage.

Joseph Russavage

Best ghetto opera house featuring awesome indie bands!

Ed Nichols

I had a bite of my GFs panini sandwich she bought at Warfield and it ripped the inside of my mouth like a razor blade. Went to the first aid booth bleeding profusely and the geniuses there gave me gum

Lren & JJ Popnfresh

Awesome sound, ornate ceiling. Not a bad seat in the house

squeasel

Beautiful venue, decent bartenders though overpriced drinks. Floor staff/security are kind of dicks - wouldn't let me sit down in back for even a minute when I'd just gotten injured down in front.

Aaron Draczynski

If you're sitting in the balcony , you'll probably be high by the end of the show with all of that pot smoke wafting upwards.

Andrea S.

Even the very back balcony seats give you a decent view of the stage

Ahmad Qousi

Olivia is the best, her performance and personality are so charming

Stephannie Depa

great venue for a rock show, a block from BART. balcony is cool but get GA tix so you're right on the floor! Read more

Lil Mike

Stop By Box Office on Sundays to buy tix for AXS venues including #SF Regency sans $10 Online Fee

Anthony A

This is a great venue for live music . There isn't a bad seat in the house. I saw Slash play there last night. Awesome.

Great rancid show on Jan 1 2016

Stephen Vale

Great venue for show like legendary music masters #KingCrimson now. What a great BDay eve!

Box office opens an hour and a half before doors open. If you're looking for tickets or need to pick them up, get there early.

Cynthia Loosley

One of Best acoustic venues in San Francisco -- an all-time favorite. Read more

A Fashionable Condition

The people who turned out for Sleep have actual grey hair. Not "from a salon" grey hair.

Benjamin Nowain

Took advantage of the special seating upgrade.

Danielle P

Super cozy and intimate

ChaunceyCC

Without going into a total "bash" session, I'll be nice and put it like this...Some of the staff at this place is a little TOO serious. That is all.

Rich Yannacone

Music baby!!

Chris Mason

Alex Silarajs

Good for GA, skip the seats.

christina leigh morgan

Closes early for most events -- be wary of your time!

Best venue in the city -- thus far. Though I'll probably never sit in the nosebleeds again. Pit, or nothing at all. Read more

Andres Mendieta

Epic venue, saw Cake on 12/31/07. Counted down the New Year with them.

Paul Billings

You can now bring your drink back to your seat in the balcony !

Christine Ward

PS - if you're underage, don't try to get drinks. You will be 86'ed. Saw it happen.

Fi D.

Buy tix at the box office and avoid all those effing surcharges.

Baxter and possibly Hooray

Definitely pre-game... $15 for a beer ?! They aren't even sold in gold coated glasses...

Jessica M

Anyone willing to trade a general admission ticket four an actual seat? Text me 9164778151

Caroline

$18 for a cocktail ? Come on people! Also, why must the staff in General Admission be so rude? Would only come here if a band I reaaaally want to see is playing.
