We first opened our doors on Valentine's Day, 2011, and throughout the last decade, we've become a fixture in the Theater District, TL, and Nob Hill communities. We have a genuinely unforgettable event space. With three magnificent bars, a lush, 8,000 square ft. rooftop patio, and adequate room for gatherings, we are a jack of all trades for your next event. Our stylish and unique rooftop terrace, which is the largest outdoor restaurant location in San Francisco, is absolutely one-of-a-kind, making us the ideal place for large functions. H.C. Baumann, a prominent architect, created the Gaylord Hotel in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, inspired by the structures of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in San Diego. Founder Pete Glikshtern collaborated with architect Kyle Reicher of Ferrous Studios Inc. to reinterpret the classic wrought iron grilles from the Gaylord's lobby to integrate parts of the historic building's architecture into our area. From the huge front gates that welcome guests in, to the patio guard rails, to the ornate metal wall between the stairs and the dining room, our steel is an homage to the rich architectural history of our building. 620 Jones has had the privilege of working with many local community legends, including London Breed, Juanita More, Joe Montana and Steve Kerr. We have also hosted events for Salesforce, Honda, Legends of the NFL, SFPD, Facebook, Oracle, and so many more.

Here, the energetic chic of a European terrace meets the laid-back vibes of “California cool.” Bar snacks, cocktails created by partners, BVHospitality (Bon Vivants, Trick Dog) feature the vibrant flavors, original combinations, and unique bitters and syrups for which the duo is known.

Built in 1915 as part of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium derives its name from the late impresario Bill Graham, who began the rock ‘n roll movement in San Francisco in the 1960s. The historic building has hosted a multitude of significant cultural events, including the Democratic National Convention in 1920, a speech from Martin Luther King Jr. to the NAACP in 1956, and served as the Golden State Warriors’ home court from 1964 to 1966. President Barack Obama was a guest of the venue both in 2007 and 2012 for campaign speeches, and the Dalai Lama offered two days of teachings in 2007. As the exclusive promoter, Another Planet Entertainment manages the building with respect to its rich history and keeps the venue active with hundreds of concerts and special events. Past concerts include performances by the Grateful Dead, Elton John, Sam Smith, Swedish House Mafia, Chance the Rapper, The Killers, Janet Jackson, Phish, Lady Gaga, Bob Dylan, Tool, Bruno Mars, Zedd, Bette Midler, Juanes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billie Eilish, Lizzo and many more. In preparation for our much-anticipated return to live concerts and our commitment to producing safe events, all patrons attending concerts at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium will need to show proof of vaccination OR a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours from the time of entry to the venue. We encourage fans attending our events to plan ahead and arrive early, as heavy traffic is often experienced in the area.
