Bimbo's 365 Club

Bimbo's 365 Club is a supper club and live music venue at 1025 Columbus Avenue, on the border of North Beach and Russian Hill near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, California. Opened in 1931, it is a landmark of the city's nightlife history, with a red-velvet interior, a vintage ballroom and a stage that has hosted generations of performers. The decor and layout evoke the supper clubs of the early twentieth century and give the venue a theatrical atmosphere.

The crowd depends on the show but is generally adult, with couples, groups of friends and fans of the featured artists, and dress ranges from casual to dressy, with many guests choosing smart outfits to match the surroundings. Most shows are 21 and over, though some may allow younger ticket holders, so each event listing should be checked. The mood is lively but elegant, with table and booth seating alongside a standing area for some performances.

Programming includes jazz, rock, indie, cabaret, tribute acts and themed nights, and the calendar changes frequently. The venue has a bar that serves beer, wine, spirits and cocktails at concert pricing, and some shows offer food service or dinner packages, so patrons should check current options. The ballroom's size is moderate, which gives the shows a more intimate feel than the city's larger theaters.

The club operates on show nights, and the calendar is posted on bimbos365club.com. Tickets are required and generally range from about $25 to $90 depending on the act. Doors typically open an hour or more before the show. Advance purchase is recommended for popular acts, and reserved seating or table options may be available for some events. Cover charges in the nightclub sense do not apply; the ticket is the entry. Bottle service is not part of the standard concert format.

The venue is a short distance from Columbus Avenue's North Beach restaurants and from Fisherman's Wharf, so many guests combine a show with dinner nearby. Parking is limited, and transit or rideshare is generally easier.
