SF Masonic

The Masonic is a 3,300-seat auditorium in a 1958 building on Nob Hill, operated by Live Nation as one of the city's primary mid-sized concert venues. The architecture is striking mid-century modern, designed for the Masons but adapted for live entertainment. The seating is entirely fixed, with good sightlines from most positions. The booking covers major touring acts across rock, pop, comedy, and special events. The location atop Nob Hill provides dramatic city views but limited parking, so transit is recommended. The room works well for seated performances and has hosted everyone from rock legends to podcast tapings. For shows between theater and arena scale, the Masonic provides comfortable, well-managed professional production.
