Beautiful views
Frances L.

This is a beautiful venue with delicious food! My husband and I recently enjoyed a night out here for Kaiser's physician appreciation gala and it was perfect!! Beautiful views, large gorgeous space both inside and outside and the food was delicious. What a wonderful event venue!!

We attended a company anniversary party here in SF with about 500 people. The views were amazing and it was almost a pleasant evening outside with no high winds. It did get a little chilly later. There were 4 food stations available plus lots of drinks. Great place to hold a big company party or even a wedding.

I attended an event at the City View and had a great experience. Here's why: 1) Location: It's centrally located and an easy walk from many hotels. 2) Views: They have a beautiful outdoor patio with amazing views of downtown San Francisco. 3) Food: The catering was pretty good for a conference/event space. 4) Space: It's pretty large and can be used in a variety of ways.

Great space for events, attended several from corporate parties to fashion shows. Open, conveniently located to all bus routes, downtown, and parking.

Lots of memories here at City View. I took my kids here when it was the "Where the Wild Things Are" Maurice Sendak amusement park and "Night Kitchen" restaurant. Then the Titanic exhibit--complete with frozen iceberg. Now City View is an event venue. I've attended half a dozen Pepcom media events here. Usually a decent assortment of companies displaying their latest tech offerings. The venue is great: wonderful views of the city, and an open space for many tables or booths. The catering has always been good, and, of course, the open bar is always nice (but please tip your bartenders!) restrooms are in the hall outside the entrance, which isn't super convenient, but they are modern and clean. Parking garage across the street is convenient--and has been validated for every event I've attended, so that's a bonus, especially here in the city!

Good venue for wine tasting events, corporate events, and such, love the balcony outdoor, to the city view of SoMa, quite beautiful on a nice day in San Francisco. They set up coat check each time I've been here. Service is attentive even with their catering service! The place can be crowded on the day with new movies coming out... Parking at the Moscone Center parking garage!

Came here a few times and each time was a challenge to find. This is located on the top floor of the Metreon, but there is little to no signage to find it. Each time I had came has been a year plus.

City View truly has an iconic city view! With a venue space that opens up into a large ballroom space as well as beautiful terrace, this venue is booked for everything from holiday parties to business event space. I attended a work holiday extravaganza here and we had a Cirque-du-Soleil type performer who was suspended from silk wraps and pouring champagne for arrivals. It was amazing..! There is ample space for food buffets (we had at least 7) anchored by a large center bar. There was seating for at least 150-200. And there was a convenient coat check area as well. All in al a great venue space.

Pretty sweet venue for all sorts of events and festivities. Fantastic city views guaranteed. The event space is pretty big - a large and wide room with direct access to toilets on the right and the spacious patio on the left. You'll have to enter through the Metreon though, along with many visitors of the cinema located in the same building. Parking is easy in the 5th and Mission garage.

City View at Metreon is on the 4th floor of this large complex, which started off as the Sony Metreon decades ago, with a Sony store that was a bit like an Apple Store is today anchoring the businesses. The Metreon just completed a total make-over, with a large Target store as the new anchor, and most of the stores replaced by an eclectic Food Court surrounding the AMC movie theater ticketing areas. The City View is a multi-purpose meeting venue, with spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline, from its many patios or large glass windows. The area can accommodate a party of up to 2,000 people, so it is large. I came here recently for an international Luxury Brand's party for its top sales people in the Americas, and it was a great party, well planned. Perfect venue for your next large corporate party, or if you have an unlimited guest list and budget for your reception.

Nice view of The City

A pretty decent place to hold an event, but some things just don't work in this venue. I went here for the Tekken 7 Tournament Finals, and it was a blast. But when the bright sky of SF goes through the walls of windows, it really affects your view of the big screen The place is huge. Plenty of room for different things to be happening. We had a section devoted to trying Dragon Ball FighterZ, a section to view to tourney, a spot for autographs, and plenty of room for vendors. I would definitely come back for another event.

Worth going to any event here just for the stunning SF skyline view! I had the privilege of attending Upload VR's virtual reality world tour kickoff here. It was definitely on the crowded side with VR enthusiasts waiting up to half an hour to try out Oculus Rift: http://bit.ly/1yj9g4j zSpace had a cool demo too and their employees were able to answer all my questions about VR's many uses. My senses were electrified and I had many nerdgasms as I partook in demos spanning media, education, 3D audio, and design all while live DJ's spun some of my favorite electronica beats. Drinks were a tad overpriced & I'm glad they allowed re-entrance w/ wristband so we could hit up one of the close by bars to grab a better crafted cocktail. I had no idea this venue existed prior to the event but I'd love to return!

Reason for visit: Special event Visit date: October 7, 2015 First time? Yes. This is a great space for large events. There is an open floor plan and it feels very exclusive. The balcony view is nice during the day and night, but mostly the night because of all the city lights. I was here for a Renaissance Center event; my friend was a student. Their set up allowed for a vendor/booth area, a cocktail hour area, and a ceremony/sit-down dinner area. There was even a dance floor set up and plenty of room for mingling. Note: Later in the evening, the elevator might not allow you to go up to the top floor. Take the elevator as far as it will take you and then take the escalator the rest of the way.

Is this only open for events? I wanted to just hang out and watch the view on lunch but was not sure if this is possible everyday or on the weekends

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate general public use requests - we are available for private event bookings only.

The views are great as you can see, as it overlooks the Yerba Buena gardens and famous landmark like the Musuem of Modern Art.

One thing about me, I absolutely love to dance! The only thing is, the older I get, the less I find…read morespots where I can dance to great oldies, so when I found out about Battle of the decades every Friday at Monroe, I knew I had to try it out! Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

I've been to a LOT of bars, clubs, and entertainment venues in SF, but one that my various friend…read moregroups and I regularly hit up is Monroe. What's not to love. Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

The building was a printing press back in the day, so it's a bit of a maze but that's part of the charm. I've discovered some amazing local businesses. I recently went to their February artisan food fairs, and bought some delicious food products. They had a variety of food vendors: hot sauces, honey, dips, cookies, teas, and more. As for the craft fairs, respect jewelry, candles, cutting boards, and even a few food vendors. That's where I discovered Apisol, a woman-owned company based in the Peninsula that makes delicious sparkling honey beverages. Don't miss the vintage store on the first floor, which has really unique vintage products like postcards, buttons, posters, and more. There are so many fairs in the city, but the vendors here are ones that I haven't seen anywhere else. So check out their insta or their website for dates to their upcoming fairs.

I never heard of this place until a fellow Yelper brought this up to me and I said SFBox? I never heard or been in this location before and I am sure most of you never heard of this place either unless you search for history of the William Randolph Hearst printing press building so many years ago. The building was built in 1926 as a printing plant for the San Francisco Examiner. It is a nice mixed use building like a nice cozy maze to explore the nice layout and architecture of the old print shop. So upstairs about 2 floors and vendors are scattered so it's like a hunt for them, almost like a needle in haystack. Lol Well it's not that hard as you won't miss anyone. Too floor that where you will satisfy your sweet tooth . Yummy. The vendors that were there were a nice mix from tea, cheese, spices, India coffee , Turkish spreads, ice cream, giant cookies, healthy drinks, spreads, and I am sure you will find something you will enjoy. I don't normally buy stuff, but the honey , red beet, 2004 sweet land Bingdao $95 brick tea that is aged 21 years that can make 175 tea servings for $95, Il Fiorello basalmic vinegar was thick and smooth great texture and syrupy taste very captivating and Taste of Levant tahini and their chocolate jar of molasses was excellent and I had to buy them. Yummy in my tummy! Not sure if same vendors will be there again, so catch them the at your farmers market, festivals or next Eats event!

It was really nice to see the sunlight come through on the daytime with the open roof concept. The music was a lovely experience as well. I really enjoyed it. Given how packed it was, I stood the entire time, even though I had gotten there probably 15 minutes before the show started. There was a huge line for the coffee when I arrived that didn't let up until halfway through the show. They are doing this again in September and I would recommend if you are in the area. The only thing that would have made it better would have been less people given the amount of chatter and distraction of people walking by. I'm curious as to what this venue looks like in other set ups and at different times of the day because it is beautiful, what a nice spot in San Francisco.

A Lifesaver for Our Wedding -- Exceptional Service and Stunning Space!…read more If I could give Carlos and Marigold more than five stars, I would. We were scheduled to have a small outdoor wedding ceremony at Mission Dolores Park, but when the San Francisco weather forecast turned "rough" just days before our April 1st date, we were in a total panic. I reached out to Carlos at the last minute, and the level of service we received was nothing short of extraordinary. Here is why you should book your next event here: Incredible Responsiveness: Carlos responded to my inquiry almost immediately and hopped on a call with me the same day to iron out the details. He made a high-stress situation feel completely manageable. Accommodating & Flexible: Even with our last-minute request, he was so generous with the timing. He allowed us to come in early at 2:00 PM to set up flowers and told us there was "no rush" to leave, letting our group stay and enjoy a drink before our dinner reservation. The Space is Stunning: We held our ceremony upstairs in a beautiful, dry, and welcoming space featuring a gorgeous mural. It was the perfect backdrop for our 10-person group--intimate, stylish, and full of character. Personal Touch: Carlos even provided his personal cell number for day-of coordination to ensure everything went smoothly. That level of care is rare. Carlos, thank you for your kindness and for helping us make our wedding ceremony so special. You lifted a huge weight off our shoulders, and we can't recommend Marigold enough!
