The Chapel

I just saw Chuck Prophet - "Wake The Dead" tour at the Chapel. The show was true Rock and Roll. The place was packed and everyone was having an awesome time.Just a couple of comments. If you want to get in cue to get a good place near the stage or upstairs at one of the small tables with stools make a reservation at the restaurant connected to the Chapel - Curio. Be sure to line up early at one of two entrances to the Chapel through the restaurant. Ask someone at the Bar or at the front desk which entrance will be used for the concert.A shout out to the manager who went out of his way to set up a small table and stools for me and my four friends upstairs, He went above and beyond, so thank you!Also, just a quick note to the Chapel. The light show that night was ridiculous. It took away from the concert, so please think about the best way to use the technology in the future. Please see the attach photograph.If you and your friends need a night out to see some live music at the best small night club in the Bay Are, Matt say check out The Chapel

My Girl friend, best friend and I visited the Chapel on Valentine's Day for a concert. We decided at the door to upgrade to seats as opposed to standing and they charged us double for seats that didn't exist because they were sold out. We didn't make a big deal about it as we did end up finding a place to sit upstairs that would have otherwise been free if we hadn't upgraded. Instead we paid double.At the entrance as the employee at the door is putting the wristbands on. He puts a wristband on me and leaves both my GF and friend standing there with their wrist extended as he turns away to speak to an underage friend of his who he was trying to get in the club with out ID.My GF, tired of waiting asks him if we can have our wristbands and he then lets out a grunt of discontent for being interrupted and slaps the wristbands on my guests.Determined to have a good time regardless of the treatment, we continue and try to enjoy our evening. My GF and I have recently met and started dating and it being V Day and all, we were affectionate with one another and engaged in several kisses.At some point we got up and went to the restroom to use the facilities. As we were coming out a man grabs my GF by the wrist and writes a huge black X on her forearm totally against her will. We were both in shock and asked him what his problem was as she was trying to jerk her arm away.We then realized it was the same guy from the door with the wrist bands. He said we were offending people and that we were being cut off from drinking.I can understand the X if we had truly been being disruptive, but the correct way is to give the patron the choice to willingly sport the X or leave. Not grab someone and force it on them.We had only a couple of glasses of wine and the bartender was friendly and had no issue with us.This person proceeded to call others security guards as back up like we were some kind of menace. Not that we wanted to stay after this, of course we wanted to leave and never return but he deemed adequate to have us led out by security.It is needless to say we will never ever return to this establishment and will warn as many people possible especially the gay community about our horrendous experience.

Here for the dB's!! Great dinner at Curio (Cobb Salad with fried chicken strips - excellent!). If you let them know you're here for a show, they get you setup with your show wristband while you're eating, so it's easy to just head in to show when the doors open.As usual, great drink options, up close to the band, and an all around great time!

Visited the Chapel for a concert this past weekend, and I think this might be the most affordable music venue in SF. We watched an artist named Kate Nash, and there wasn't much of a line when we arrived so we got in really quick. Upon entering they had a couple of merch tables set up. They have a small bar downstairs and a bar upstairs. We ordered two topo Chico hard seltzers and the total was $13 something, which is usually the cost of one at most music venues. The concert/show itself was great. It wasn't super packed, so finding a spot was easy and we never felt squished inside. The music/sound system was great and the stage is so close that it makes for a very intimate setting. Overall, glad I can finally cross off the chapel off my venue list, and wouldn't hesitate to go to another show here.

The Chapel is a fantastic venue nestled in the Mission district located at Valencia between 18th and 19th. We came to watch Brume and enjoyed catching a bite at Curio ahead of the show, which is attached to the bar and the stage. The show was set for all ages. We were stoked to bring our son to catch a local band, which is such a great spot. Checking in was a little clunky since we came through from the restaurant, but everyone was quick to get us checked in and on our way into the venue towards the stage. The sound was great, and we made our way to the front and settled in for a great show.

Came for a Fly by Midnight concert! Super intimate venue with mezzanine viewing as well. Drinks were great and you can purchase inside venue or outside at the bar next door. They do a bag check and age check too.Everyone was kind and easy to chat with. Chill vibes overall! Would love to be back again for another concert.

The Chapel is one of those intimate music venues you have check out at least once. From the high 40-foot arched ceilings to the awesome acoustics and lighting, it truly made the show so worth driving up an hour for from South Bay. Of course, the artist we went to see (Cian Ducrot on 9/27/23) was phenomenal, and this place definitely elevated his performance even more!It's kind of fun and spooky to know that The Chapel was originally a mortuary in 1914, and has rumors of being haunted! Thank goodness we were there with hundreds of other people, but it still felt a little creepy knowing that spirits were potentially hanging out amongst us listening to Cian's incredible voice too... Just Google it and you'll find a lot of articles about ghost stories and strange occurrences at night.Big shout out to the 2 guys checking bags & IDs while we waited in line out front. They were about the nicest people we've ever encountered at a music venue. The girl who scanned our tickets on my phone was also super nice! Hopefully another artist or band we want to see will play here soon, because we definitely wanna come back!

We took our kids and their friends to a concert. We ate next door at the Curio beforehand. Really nice small venue. All staff were friendly. We had a great time

I like the spot. The show was good. Real quaint inside and they got a good sound system. Their ADA accommodations though...not so great. It's a nice idea to put someone with limited mobility close to the restrooms. But if you're also placing someone with limited mobility directly in front of the stage, it's probably not going to be a good time for them. Or the people around them who will definitely trample that person trying to get a good close up of the performers & then think what that might lead to...3 stars for now.

Always a great night, even if I don't know the band! ;) Intimate venue, great staff and all kinds of talent.
