Venue history
Jazz pianist Thelonious Monk recorded his acclaimed solo album, “Thelonious Alone in San Francisco” (1959).
During the1950s and early 60s, it was home for Beat poets, including the legendary Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg.
The Grateful Dead held a release party for their first album at Club Fugazi in 1967.
In 1976, Club Fugazi became home to Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon. It ran for a total of 45 years, becoming the world’s longest-running musical revue. The production played for more than 17,200 performances to over 6.5 million guests, taking its final bow in December 2019.
A new age
Today, the Club Fugazi experience is one that marries the excitement of live performance with the feel of a nightclub. Curated to match the world-class caliber of the performances, Club Fugazi features a menu of chiccetti (small bites and plates) sourced from local purveyors, and a wine and beer selection designed to complement the Club’s Italian roots. Guests are seated at community counters, on chairs that swivel to take in the full room as the performance swirls around them.
