Iconic North Beach Gathering Space

Metered street parking, Nearby parking lot

There are several underground parking garages within a 1-block walk of our venue with the closest garage being directly underneath our building. Street parking is also free on Sundays. Also, the Montgomery MUNI/BART station is a safe 15-minute walk through San Francisco's Financial District and the MUNI 8 bus stops at our front door.

Floor to ceiling windows on two sides of the space. Natural light enters the space, and although we do have black shades that block much of the light we are not able to get fully dark with our existing shades. 12Noon is the brightest time of the day.

This space is ideal for photography shoots, but as it is located on a lively street it is suggested that potential guests schedule a Site Visit to determine if it is suitable for video shoots that will be recording audio.

Ground Floor

Equipment can be loaded through the front door which is at ground level. There is a loading area close to our front door.

There is a very small back office and two separate bathrooms which may be used as make up, wardrobe and dressing rooms.

Our power rating is 2000 watts. We have a total of fourteen (15) electrical outlets. Five (5) are usually in use and nine (10) are always free. Ours space is basically a rectangular shape. At one long side of the rectangle we have five (5) double outlets at floor level. At the other long side we have two (2) double outlets at floor level and three (3) outlets at ceiling level (usually used by overhead lights). The two sides of our space use two separate circuit breakers, which are accessible to our staff. All rentals will have one staff person who will stay with the client throughout the rental to assist with any circuit breaker issues. The client will not have to worry about resetting the circuit breakers.
