Why it matters

The Independent is a compact Divisadero Street room whose close sightlines and roughly club-scale capacity have made it a durable San Francisco stop for emerging and established touring artists.

Getting there

Street parking around Divisadero is difficult. The venue recommends walking, biking, transit, rideshare or nearby paid lots rather than expecting an easy curb space.
