Polk Street Neighborhood
Music City is located in the vibrant Polk Gulch / Lower Nob Hill neighborhood. When exiting Music City, Polk Street is on your left: a street filled with a wide array of incredible food options, shops, cafes, and unique bars and nightlife.
The neighborhood is historically significant — it is one of the original centers for San Francisco’s LGBT community, and more recently become a harbor for members of the arts community, including important music venues such as Kimo’s, Great American Music Hall, The Regency Ballroom, Hemlock Tavern, The Masonic Theater, and more. In the 1960s at the height of the counterculture movement, a music venue in the neighborhood called The Avalon Ballroom played a vital role in hosting influential acts such as Moby Grape, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and the Grateful Dead.
Nearby Attractions
Music City is centrally located and it’s easy to reach many nearby attractions on foot, biking, or public transportation via MUNI or BART.
The following destinations are all located within a 15-20 minute walk from Music City: Union Square, Chinatown, Nob Hill, Civic Center, Japantown, and Little Saigon. Other noteworthy neighborhoods, such as North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, Russian Hill, SOMA, or the Financial District are located slightly further away but are reachable easily by bus, Lyft/Uber, or train.
San Francisco is famous for its cable cars. The California Line (two blocks north on California Street) is super close and worth the ride!
The iconic, “must-see” spots in San Francisco are still quite close to Music City (30-45 mins by bus) or via Lyft/Uber at a relatively inexpensive cost: The Golden Gate Bridge, Haight Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, Mission District, and The Castro.
If you want to grab groceries, there is a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe’s, and a Walgreens Pharmacy within a two-block walking distance.
