About Thee Parkside

Located at 1600 17th St in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, Thee Parkside is a beloved San Francisco dive bar with a short, intimate live-music space. The venue emphasizes standing-room crowds, a back patio, and a raw, unpretentious vibe that music fans crave. Capacity sits around 225–300, making every show feel close and personal. Whether you’re here for a Free Twang Sunday, a secret Billie Joe Armstrong performance, or a night with a rising local act, Thee Parkside delivers a true Bay Area music experience.

From its early influence on the Mosswood Meltdown scene to today’s eclectic lineups, this venue remains a cornerstone of San Francisco’s live music landscape. We’ve got you covered on how to get in, park nearby, and where to stay and eat within easy reach of the venue.

Plan ahead to secure your seats or standing spots—Thee Parkside’s intimate space tends to fill quickly. For parking, you’ll find nearby garages and street options; SpotHero shows several convenient garages near 16th St & Potrero Ave. Muni service is readily available with routes 9, 9R, 90 and nearby stops on 22, 33, and 55, making transit a convenient option. If you’re visiting from out of town, the area offers a variety of hotels within a short drive or walk, including The San Francisco Marriott Marquis, Clift Royal Sonesta, Stanford Court Hotel, Hilton San Francisco Union Square, and Westin St. Francis.
