DO NOT TRUST THIS BAR!!! It was impossible to navigate, even more impossible to enter, and the bar…read moreis poorly decorated! It looked very unkempt and the music wasn't very loud. There was an extreme overflow on Halloween (which is expected) but the way security, bouncers, and workers dealt with it was extremely disrespectful. My friend had to use the bathroom and the asian boy on the right (circled in the picture) took her ID as collateral. When she came back to get her ID, they stated that they gave it to someone else!!! We asked the asian girl on the left (circled in the picture) to speak with the manager and spoke to this blond white lady (not pictured) and she did not offer us any compensation or anything. When speaking with her, she gave no empathy or care to our situation and only offered us a free drink....which is incomparable to what we lost She was not interested in helping us or finding a solution to the issue her bar gave us. I would not trust this bar with anything. They couldn't even make sure they were giving the right ID to the same person. It's understandable that it was crowded which made it chaotic but that does not mean an establishment gets to be irresponsible with other peoples property. ESPECIALLY an Identification Card!!!

I hired the Turnaround for a private event earlier this year (pre-pandemic). I actually found them…read moreonline, but once I listened to their samples, I knew they were the right choice. These guys are the real deal--consummate musicians who are experts at their craft--and it shows in every note they play and in every interaction with their audience. From the beginning, Alexey demonstrated his knowledge and professionalism. He helped us plan out what the event could look like, and really helped us set the tone of the party (which was held in honor of a budding musician, so the music mattered a great deal to us). Not only did he help with set up and organization, but also helped us coordinate a sound man (who played incredible Spanish guitar during the band's breaks). He absolutely gave us the right information for the space and timing of the event, and because of that, we were able to make good decisions as to the size of the band (they are flexible), timing of the event, and song list. As far as the music goes, it was awesome. We're huge big band, bebop and cool jazz fans, and their playing (and singing) knocked it out of the park. We hand-picked many selections, but we trusted Alexey to fill in the gaps to build the Turnaround's sets. The flow ended up being spot-on, in large part due to how well Alexey constructed the sets, but also how well he read the crowd. We really appreciated his flexibility as to timing, and his communication with us and the other staff as the evening went on. The proof was really in the playing, though. There were many musicians in the audience (pros and semi-pros) and they all agreed that the band was amazing. Mostly, we appreciated the generosity he showed our guest of honor, who played a song with the band. The members of the band showed so much courtesy, it was as pleasurable to watch the mini rehearsal as much as it was to watch the final performance. TL/DR: The Turnaround is awesome, and will elevate any event, either for musicians or non-musicians. Hire them.

Alexey and the band were incredible performers for our wedding! They played a lively two-hour…read morecocktail set that appealed to everyone, brought great energy along the way, and were super easy to work & coordinate with during planning. Couldn't recommend more!

It's within walking distance to J-town which is really nice in terms of getting food before a show…read more(most things are not late night in SF, so this is the play since after a show, most things will already be closed) and it is possible to find free parking if you have eyes that search and see. My boyfriend and I came here to see TK from Ling Tosite Sigure (real anime heads know - Tokyo Ghoul, Psycho Pass, etc. or if you're a fan of math rock). We got the GA tickets and waited in the line for the venue around 40 minutes before the show. We were still in the first 100 or so people in, we were in the line when it curved the corner near the other shopping plaza near the bus stop, so it wasn't too fisted when we went. This was absolutely not the case for the LA show, so the vibes in NorCal versus SoCal are completely different. Staff was welcoming (as best they could) and efficient in checking us in and security was friendly in what they had to do. Much better than some of the other venues I've been to. You have to go upstairs to get to the live house concert stage area. It looks very high end with the lighting, curtains, balcony area, and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. It's not as grandiose as say the Mayan (RIP), but nice nonetheless. We were probably 3-4 layers of people from the front, but was able to see all of the band members quite well and I was accidentally in the band's Instagram post (with my very funny and cooked back posture). Sound quality was great and really highlighted not only TK's vocals, but the technicality and skill he has on guitar (dude had to swap guitars between each song), as well as all of the support members (their support drummer from Crossfaith has such good stage presence). Nothing sounded too drowned out or overpowering. Good acoustics. The merch table was at the side and I didn't pay too much mind to where the bar was. When walking up stairs I was wondering where to go and loudly asked that question and a kind staff working the coat check in the opposite direction pointed to where to go. I think my only qualm though is the stairs that everyone has to take up, and more importantly down since it gets super crowded. However, they do have an accessible elevator for those who may require it or are ADA. What I love about this venue is the apples they give attendees. Great post concert snack. Sweet and crispy apple. I really love that they do this. And apparently this was the only tour stop that had a free poster with the artist playing too. Love that extra goodie for concert goers since I didn't purchase any merchandise. If there's a band or musician that I know is going to go to the Fillmore, I'm going to try to make the show since I really enjoyed it here!

1 Star - Awful Manager and Staff Experience…read more We attended the Alex Isley concert at The Fillmore and brought our 8-year-old daughter. It was her very first concert, and she absolutely loves Alex Isley. The venue was standing room only, but we found a small corner near the front where we weren't blocking anyone's view. Early in the evening, one female staff member seemed to have an issue with us, although every other staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating. At one point, I asked a staff member if it would be okay to put my daughter on my shoulders so she could see the stage. He told me it was absolutely fine, and several other staff members nearby clearly had no issue with it. Later, the same female employee returned and began harassing my wife about our daughter being on my shoulders or standing on a bench that was not obstructing anyone's view. She made a scene unnecessarily and then escalated the situation to a manager. The manager arrived and was just as rude. Although I complied immediately because I didn't want to create a scene in front of my daughter, we felt singled out and bullied throughout the interaction. Ironically, other concertgoers immediately tried to help by offering our daughter space in front of them so she could see the performance. Even more telling, a member of Alex Isley's security team witnessed what happened, approached us afterward, and kindly arranged for my wife, daughter, and me to meet Alex after the show. That completely made our daughter's night and turned what could have been a very disappointing experience into a special memory. The kindness shown by Alex Isley's team and fellow concertgoers stood in stark contrast to the behavior of The Fillmore's manager and this particular staff member. Because of this experience, I will not return to The Fillmore and cannot recommend the venue to others. 1/5 stars.

It's been quite a while but her voice still rings clearly in my ears…read more I first saw her when she opened for John Legend in 2007 at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. I remember freezing my butt off... oops, enjoying the sweet music from these two up and coming musicians on a Saturday evening. Not familiar with her music, I was amazed with Corinne's sultry smooth voice. When she paired with the main artist on this song (https://youtu.be/xdydH6OHsBs ), she made an impression. The venue is quite nice, not too big yet roomy enough to feel comfortable. Most of the audience was masked and certainly familiar with her music. The concert started around 8:15 pm and I was a bit confused as I didn't hear an announcement about the opening musician Jensen McRae. Being a singer songwriter, I was entranced with her voice while playing her acoustic guitar alone on stage. I've learned over the years that talented musical performers often pair opening acts that are also talented though not as popular YET. With artists like her, folk music is alive and well. I wouldn't have minded her playing another song or two (https://youtu.be/mYit3t5IkoE ). After a fifteen-minute break, Corrine and her three-piece ensemble band took the stage. I am not that familiar with her songs Iist as the audience consisting of many loyal followers of her music were. You could feel the enjoyment in seeing heads bobbing or rocking side to side or clapping along the beats on faster songs. Her two most popular songs were among the last three numbers of the performance, Like A Star (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htmE_cSDtwM) and, of course, Put Your Records On (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWQl00LWEwE). She performed in Las Vegas as well as coming back to the area for the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa the past weekend. Catch her if she hits your town or when she returns. She's heading to Brazil in September.
