Anthology, Music venue in Little Italy, San Diego, United States
Anthology was a music venue in Little Italy, San Diego, with three levels and about 325 seats, all equipped with high-quality acoustics. The space combined a restaurant with a performance stage and provided different artists with a setting for live shows.
The venue opened its doors in 2007 as an ambitious music project in the city. After years of operation, it closed permanently in 2013 due to management problems and business difficulties.
The venue started as a jazz-focused space but evolved to showcase multiple music genres and attract both established and emerging artists. Visitors could experience different styles of music in one setting, from traditional jazz to contemporary performers.
Visitors needed to reserve ahead before coming for a concert or dinner, as available seating often filled up quickly. Seating arrangements changed depending on the type of music event and offered different distances from the stage.
The operators invested heavily in a top-tier sound system that musicians recognized as one of the best in North America. Artists valued the venue's sound quality and often spoke about what it was like to perform there.
