It may not have the big name of the Fillmore or the street cred of Bottom of the Hill, but this Civic Center behemoth is a live music destination in its own right. Sitting squarely on the sketchiest stretch of Market Street, the venue is a diamond in the rough--behind the seemingly rundown giant marquee lies a stunning theater that, thanks to renovations, has maintained much of the charm and grandeur it had when it first opened more than 80 years ago. Over the years, the theater's stage has seen a variety of performances, from vaudeville acts to movie stars to pop culture icons from the…

Nice intimate venue size

I really enjoyed seeing the Prodigy & think that this venue enhanced my experience, as even general admission (which is what I had) I could see,hear & FEEL the music.....loudest concert I've ever been to. The staff there is nice & professional and I'll definately come back!

Not an all ages Venue
by Jeff62 at Citysearch
My daughter and I went to see The Decemberists at The Warfield. I enjoyed the music, but the small venue was overcrowded, and some people were rude and inconsiderate of others. Had the fire dept showed up i'm sure they would of cited the theater for exceeding occupancy limits. The security was more concerned about where people were standing and ignored the people smoking grass. Drinks were reasonble if you went and got your own, but prices more than doubled if you used a cocktail waitress. the standing only can be uncomfortable for people with back, leg, or knee issues. and due to the smokers and the overcrowding this is not an all ages venue as some websites list it. Thankfully my 13 year old daughter didint like the smell of the dope and asked if we could leave, which we did, only five songs into the set.
