Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Positive

Event-day character

The room pairs substantial production capability with a closer concert scale than the city's arenas.

Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere

Payment

The Masonic recommends cashless payment and says it is available at all points of sale. That wording does not establish a blanket cash ban or list every accepted brand. Confirm your intended payment method, seller and any conversion service.

Water & drinks

The Masonic permits only SOFT-SIDED, COLLAPSIBLE water bottles; Camelbaks and hard-sided containers are prohibited. Fountains are in the main and balcony concourses. The FAQ also bans unsealed liquids and ordinary outside drinks, so confirm required fill state, size and necessary liquids before arrival.

The experience

  • Best for: Touring concerts in a central San Francisco room larger than a club but smaller than an arena
  • Watch out for: Nob Hill grades, neighborhood parking limits, and event-specific floor layouts reward advance planning
