SFJAZZ Festival Reviews

Beautiful setting. Nice cocktails. Shows just top it all off. I see few shows every year and keep coming back for the atmosphere and community of fellow enthusiasts!

They have multiple rooms and a variety of shows happening everyday. Be sure to check out their season schedule!

This place is amazing! Love the intimate theater, not a bad seat in the house!

Beautiful venue. Lots of great artists. Hot date spot.

Saw a concert here and the players were amazing, the vibe was amazing, overall the place set a good mood

The place to go for great concerts. Marvellous venue. Great sound and very knowledgeable crowd. We'll keep returning.

Enjoyed the family matinee thoroughly. Come early to grab good seats.

One of the best places to see music in SF, period. This is where the magic is happening.

I love this venue. Artists on top in a nice hall with a nice atmosphere. I come back over and over again.

Great sound and site lines. No bad seats, great acts and education.

A lovely and beautiful concert hall lending to a wonderful musical experience.

Wonderful place. Both the small and the large music rooms have a great ambiance. If you prefer a more up-close performance go for the small one. The big room has a more formal feeling. The center's schedule always has something for my eclectic taste -I just heard a couple of fantastic Cuban jazz players-.

Great place to hear live jazz, but it's VERY expensive.

wonderful place to listen to jazz. I have been there once and again. The acoustics is very good.

Great, intimate space for some excellent performers! We have been many times for world-class performances in a space that puts your right next to the performers.

Venue is great... 3 sized auditoriums, near Symphony, Opera, easy parking at symphony lot, lots of great restaurants. Performer was wonderful smooth jazz Gregory Porter. Audience deeply involved in the creation!

I enjoyed myself immensely. The choices of people who come to the venue are phenomenal, my only complaint is that the acoustics are slightly off. Other than that, it was amazing.

Great event location, perfect acoustic. Hard to mingle for larger events.

The Miner auditorium is a 700 seat, intimate venue, with no bad seats and great sound. There is a small full service restaurant. Drinks can be purchased in the lobby and taken into the venue. Find something to see and go or be adventurous and go sight unseen.

Went to see the Boogie Woogie concert. AMAZING!
I'm still enjoying the CDs I purchased. What a great venue.

Just an awesome venue for just about any type of music.

As a venue, just awesome, for sound quality & such a variety of excellent artists and support for learning & opportunity for all aspiring musicians

Never disappointed. Tonight's Chris Botti show was one of the best.

Acoustics are great. Enjoy listening to any type of jazz

All the seats, I mean all, of the seats in the miner auditorium are good. So don't hesitate to catch a show there, even if a concert is almost sold out.

This is a fabulous venue for jazz performances. The acoustics are controllable and the audience can get very close to the stage. I watched Chris Botti here and the performance was electrifying due to the immediacy of the environment.

Friendly and kind staff! Above all, the music was sprouted from the stage and all the audiences immersed in music so deeply and freely!

I went to a couple shows by Marcus Shelby. They were great both musically and with the storyline & presentation.

Great acoustics. Great sightlines. Needs New or different seat cushions. Bring your own.

Great great great place. Nothing better than a jazz night

Great venue and awesome acts coming in on the daily. I might just have to get a membership soon!

Such a beautiful and intimate venue. The sound is amazing as well. Additionally, you don't necessarily have to spend a ton of money on tickets; you can get into most shows for 25 or 30 bucks. The show I saw was in the main auditorium, but they have a smaller room as well. I'll definitely be back.

My only comments are pick a show and go! Love this place.

Great venue. Every seat has a great view. Intimate but with an upscale vibe. Sound system good. Always satisfies the concert experience!

Great venue for small conventions and live shows, in the center of the city.
Clean and designed nice to fit small high scale events with few dining rooms.

Very good sound and screening system, so lectures are flawless.

Fantastic music venue for jazz performances up close. Great acoustics with roomy seating. Neighborhood location is a little odd: two one-way street going away from venue, causing most taxis to approach from wrong direction. Can be very pricey.

Really excellent and intimate feeling venue. Great seats everywhere.

Family matinee was excellent and very interactive!!

You want smooth jazz? This is it! Its not Dixie Land!

I really like the set up here. Not a bad seat in the house.

Best place to listen to jazz this side of New Orleans.

I was actually at the Chrome Developer Summit, not a concert, but it is an excellent event venue.

Had a great experience here! The building was amazing, and the stage and seating was really good. Doesn t seem to be a bad seat in the house.

Great show with Martin Luther and the Jazz Collective! Love the venue and the energy!

Make this place yours. Incredible music. Who is in the audience is up to you.

Incredible venue, helpful staff, and a bar on the first floor of the venue make this place a must see. I went to see Philip Glass and various artists one evening and sat behind the stage on the terrace. It was great up close!

The reason I give a 4/5 is mostly because of the seats. The terrace seating had no support (they wer essentially stools) and sitting in that for 2.5 hours could be difficult for folks. I scoped out if any other seats were like this and as you go up higher in tiers, I saw the same kind of thing. Orchestra level looked comfy though. Keep this in mind and enjoy your show!

My first time at sf jazz and was thoroughly impressed. World class architecture and sound engineering, intimate theater with state of the art technology. All speakers are flown above stage in perfect balance with the space. A must for live music/ jazz enthusiasts.

Super fancy place with great architecture. Awesome acoustics and really good program. Check it out

Amazing place for jazz lovers! There are 2 auditoriums. They have a very interesting lineup of the artists this year, amongst them are world legends like Diane Reeves, Ahmad Jamal and many more.So definitely come and check it out!

One of my new favorite jazz spots in San Francisco. Wonderful place to enjoy great music and has a warm and cozy vibe to it. Give it a go!

Love it! Cozy and a walk in any direction will supply your boutique cravings!

Amazing Venue! It was a pleasure to be able to play there with the great Fatoumata Diawara. Hope to come back again sometime.

Amazing concerts and small room interactive experiences in an acoustically excellent venue.

One of my favorite SF music venues. Great, intimate space to listen to music.
