What's not to love? Multiple stages, food, drinks, music, friendly wait-staff, and the world's coolest mosaic over the bar. If I could bring a cot and live there, I would.
I was there yesterday Sep 22nd for a show. The piano bar was excellent , service was exquisite, ambiance chill, friendly staff, delicious food. Needless to say cocktails rocked , Kinky Pinky was a riot , She didn't disappoint. Can't wait to visit again.
You walk in to the bar, there’s a stage to your right, probably with a drag queen performing and/or a live band jamming; all-gender bathroom to your left; fabulous bustling bar and box office up ahead. Beyond the box office, two different size, cozy theaters with multiple events every night. The atmosphere is filled with kindness and creativity. The bartenders are the sweetest folks you’ve ever had pour your a drink. The shows remind you of why the SF artist culture is so crucial to this city’s pulse. This is PianoFight, one of the absolute best places in San Francisco, hands down. Praying for this heart of our creative scene to pull through the pandemic. One of the places I’ve missed the most. So grateful for every moment I got to spend in this space. Hope to do it all again soon.
This place is very cool, great atmosphere, nice people.
The staff is very courteous and friendly.
Drinks were good, watched a great show, we'll be back for sure.
Very welcoming to first timers. Lots of creative juices flowing, along with cocktails, bar food and a great vibe. We saw The Infinite Wrench and loved every minute.
We came here to see The Infinite Wrench, which was fantastic. The entire venue is decided into two sections: a more traditional bar with a stage and some seating, and then a small black box theater in the back. I can’t speak for the other events that are hosted in this space, but IW was great! It’s the kind of show that works best in a small black box setting like this, and I wish more venues would invest in spaces like it.
Fun venue in a rough neighborhood. Great space with good acoustics and they had a variety of shows going on. They book creative fun stuff and we had a great time.
Rides can be tricky due to the one way streets and slowness of traffic even though we tried to get someone to come right to the clubs door we had to walk a bit for our pickup, so be sure to travel in a group.
Fun, laid back place. Came on a Monday where they have free skits. Support local theatre by donation, buying food, drinks and tipping the bar guys.

Sweet bar with an awesome theater inside of it, a little edgy drinks, but they aren't too expensive so it's nice. I work a lot in photography and video around the city and they didn't give me any hassle at all which is really really appreciated. The doorman is a wonderful guy, and the bartenders are wonderfully knowledgeable and intellectual people. Look for their awesome music events and performances.
Pianofight is an amazing indie theater space smack dab in central SF. They have an excellent bar with food to match. There is a mix of live music and indie theater in their two black box theater spaces. Given the disappearance of local theater spots, this is a welcome spot. I deeply appreciate the booking of events ranging from drag queen karaoke to serious politics discussions.
Great place to enjoy a relaxing drink with music! I've been here twice. Staff was upbeat and fun. Including the doorman, the bartender, and the musicians. There are a couple rooms in back that have shows. Haven't been to a show yet. I love the atmosphere here and will be back again!
Good atmospheric Piano bar with American bites, cocktails with a cabaret stage and two intimate theaters for sketch comedy & other live acts.
