The Warfield, Music venue in Market Street, San Francisco, United States.
The Warfield is a performance venue housed in a brick building with ornate architectural details located on Market Street in San Francisco, spread across three levels. Its interior space accommodates around 2,300 people for concerts and live shows.
Marcus Loew built this entertainment venue in 1922 and initially operated it as a vaudeville theater and cinema for silent films. The space reflected the entertainment trends of that early era.
The venue became a concert hall in 1979 when Bill Graham organized performances here, shifting its focus to live music and attracting performers and audiences from around the world. This transformation shaped its identity as a destination for music lovers.
The venue sits in a central location near the Powell Street BART station, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Multiple bars are scattered throughout the building, and the space is wheelchair accessible.
The venue was named after David Warfield, a San Francisco native who started as an usher and went on to become a well-known silent film actor. His journey from humble theater employee to film star is tied to the building's own story.
