The Deaf Club, Music venue in Mission District, San Francisco, United States.
The single-floor building on Valencia Street featured a space for live performances with a basic sound system and minimal stage lighting setup.
After manager Daphne Hanrahan discovered the location in 1978, the venue opened on December 9 with performances by The Offs and The Mutants.
The establishment connected deaf individuals with the punk music scene, where attendees experienced performances through floor vibrations and visual elements.
The venue required written communication for drink orders at the bar and maintained a rental system for nightly events throughout its operation.
Over one hundred bands performed at this location during its eighteen-month existence, including influential groups like Dead Kennedys and Tuxedomoon.
