Bird & Beckett is quintessential San Francisco. A charming (and unabashedly liberal) neighborhood bookstore by day, and one of the best music venues in the city by night. Few places embody the city’s cultural scene like Bird & Beckett.
What you need to know
- A fantastic selection of books, specially considering the size of the store.
- Open mic nights, poetry readings, and live jazz throughout the week. Check the calendar.
- Most shows are by “suggested donation” of $10-$20. You can also donate to Bird & Beckett’s Cultural Legacy Project.
- Bring your own beer, wine, cheese, whatever. Canyon Market is just around the corner.
- If you go, give Eric a hug and thank him for creating such magical space.
Btw, the band featured in the video is The Cottontails, one of the coolest local bands. Check them out.
