The Avalon

About The Avalon

A landmark San Francisco event venue, The Avalon first opened in 1911 and rose to prominence in the 1960s as a counterculture hub hosting artists like Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead. Reopened as a turnkey venue, it blends historic character with modern tech across two flexible spaces—the 10,000-sq-ft Main Hall (up to 550 guests) and a 10,000-sq-ft Ground Floor (up to 400). Ideal for corporate events, weddings, meetings, and private parties, it offers in-house bar and catering, advanced AV, and breakout spaces.
