Found this place by pure luck during a visit to SF and fell in love with the venue and headliner. Did an online search for bands playing on Friday night, listened to some songs on Spotify and YT, picked Analog Dog due to being a local band, invited friends and had a blast. The space is on the smaller end but the sound is spectacular even from the very back. If you're on the shorter end this is a great feature as it'll be difficult to get a good view from anywhere except the very front areas or standing on one of the pews along the side. Definitely get there early. Front bar has seating but it doesn't stream the venue's music. Balcony also has limited seats and small bar. Overall, absolutely a great venue for live music. Will definitely visit again.

A great smallish venue. Exceptional sound, well executed lighting, and some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever seen at a music venue in San Francisco.

Great sound for a small venue. Acoustic tiles line the vaulted ceiling which has a huge effect on quality. They had seats which is unusual but it worked too for Heyden Pedigo whom you should look up on Spotify or wherever or better live to hear this prodigy guitarist. Unique sound and very quirky which works really well together!

I went there today and saw Fleetwood Mask whom I've seen approximately 20 times at different venues in the Bay Area (eg Sweetwater and many other places). The sound in this place is horrible. The acoustics really diminish the band. I spoke with the sound engineers (one from the band and one from the venue) and they acknowledged that it has something to do with the ceiling or building and this is a good as it gets. It's a pity because it's a nice room, it's just not good for music / bands. Also, there was no lights on the band so you couldn't really see them.

I’ve never been to “The Chapel “ as located at 777 Valencia. Just to the Historic Landmark St Luke’s Chapel at 1580 Valencia. I’m posting this as a public service to lessen possible confusion. St Luke’s Chapel is inside Sutter Hospital formerly St Luke’s Hospital. Located on the second floor. It’s open from 6 to 6 everyday. A sweet place to meditate and remember those who came before us. Please visit sometime.
