Description

Tucked into an alley at the northern edge of the Mission District -- look for a Banksy stencil and a bunch of other great street-art murals on the outside wall -- Public Works is a multi-use space that hosts art shows, DJ dance events, live music, and more on its two floors. It's become one of the city's hippest hangouts in only a short period of time, attracting diverse crowds that include queer party fanatics, electro-house hipsters, exploratory foodies, gallery crawlers, and other San Franciscans looking for the latest in artsy underground entertainment.

2011 | Best New Venue

Half a year after Public Works opened, it feels strange that S.F. didn't always have this place.

In its short existence, Public Works has already hosted some of the hottest European Djs and American beatsmiths,... More »
