Verdi Club

This review is 4 years overdue! Denny and the Verdi Club are totally awesome! It is an ideal wedding or party venue if you are planning to have a live band, and the open bar is s screaming deal (at least it was 4 years ago). Thanks for all the great memories!

Attended a recent event here. Definately an old school venue and I liked that there was a bar available but no pressure to buy drinks. The parking was ample and free and the club was easy to find. If you arrive early, try the place across the street for some tasty and potent cocktails.

My wife and I just got married at the Verdi club this past Saturday and I can’t say enough good things about this venue. We had 175 people at this venue for the ceremony, dinner and dancing and it worked perfect. Space wasn’t an issue, restrooms or parking.
The staff was amazing, the bartenders were fast and proper!
We had a blast!!! Everything was perfect!

It’s a good event space; really friendly staff and a nice historic sort of building. There’s not much else to say about it other than it’s a nice space with good people running the show. Thumbs up!

If you are a chill person looking for a funky fun place to get married, do it at the Verdi Club. Now. We had a 90 person wedding here last weekend and Jason and team nailed it. Everything in the reviews is true the food is incredibly delicious (thanks Chef Sean!!), the entire team is so friendly and helpful, Jason is awesome to work with, the location has so much character and the price cannot be beat in crazy expensive San Francisco.
Some highlights: Chef Sean offered to make anything that was important to us or fit the theme so we took him up on his offer and he made a delicious dessert from a family recipe which was such a cool thing to have on the day, Jason recommended working with Lauren of Nicoella Designs (she’s worked with the space a lot and is fantastic) and that was absolutely the best recommendation we could have received) and the place is designed for music and dancing so we hired a Jazz trio to play during dinner and it’s also awesome to have the entire floor be the dance floor.
I also want to say that during our wedding planning process they ran into a pretty major roadbump with the space that was completely out of their control and they handled it with grace and professionalism. The wedding went off without a hitch and we would choose this location again in a second.
Such an awesome location and Jason is awesome to work with. Final bonus is that we can now take dance lessons at the place we got married which is pretty special! Highly recommend, definitely get married here :)

Steve is the best bartender ever… and I don’t even drink!

Very old school San Francisco — coming here is like being the world’s most boring time lord. But, yeah, cheap drinks, good venue. Cool vintage feel — I can totally imagine troops dancing here during WWII.
Bring cash because the bar doesn’t take cards.

I adore the Verdi Club! I have done hair and makeup for a few clients that have had their weddings here. Such a special spot for a private event! I have also come to a bunch of the Dusty Stax Formals (think live band and singers performing 60’s soul and everyone dancing and decked out like a vintage high school dance). It’s always the best time! And I love hanging out in the Ladies Lounge. I dream of someday being hired to redecorate that room ‘Fox & Doll’ style, I have a vision. The style of Verdi Clubs space is so charming and classic. I look forward to attending many more events here! Oh, and my profile picture was taken in the Ladies Lounge at the Verdi Club!

Reasonably priced drinks and good venue overall. I went to see one of my favorite drag queens perform at Verdi Club and all of the wait staff was friendly, I lied my way into backstage, and the place was really clean.

The managers and staff here are amazing :) Christine was so friendly and went out of her way to help me when I left some belongings behind after an event. If you want great hospitality, look no further :)

Jason and his team nailed it. We hosted an 85 person wedding celebration at the Verdi Club and it was a blast. Nice bar, disco ball, and good vibes. They were very flexible and easy to work with.

It was the perfect space for Litquake’s Regreturate event, I could also see it as a great place for a dj to throw an event. It’s not too big and has a great bar although it is cash only but that does save time… I’ll definitely be back there for more events with cash in hand.

LOVE this place!
My sister in law got married here last week and it was just a fantastic experience.
Every employee from the owner, to the wait staff, to the cook, to the bartenders, were friendly, patient, funny and professional. And things ran like clockwork. You know how every wedding has that one thing that goes wrong? This one didn’t. Not one thing.
I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a cool, slightly quirky place to hold an event. Perfect for small weddings, banquets, ceremonies, parties, and concerts.

I’ve had the occasional pleasure to see a couple live shows at this rent-​able venue. The first time was to see Lightning Bolt about 10 years ago, and that show was amazing.
The this past week I hadf the pleasure to fly in got the Punk Rock Homecoming, featuring 20 bands and performers from the San Francisco area who were very active in the late-1970’s and early 1980’s. The venue was great. The bartenders poured their drinks well, the few staff people who were on-​hand didn’t create fictitious issues for the event organizers, and a great time was had by all attendees that I could see. I wish I still lived in San Francisco sometimes.

If you are looking for an awesome venue in San Francisco to get married, look no further than the Verdi Club. We got married here last month (May 2013), and we couldn’t have been more pleased with everything.
Denny was extremely helpful and always available to answer any and all questions. He made the planning super easy and took a lot of stress out of a super stressful time.
The food was incredible! We’re still getting comments from guests about it. My wife is half Italian so we’ve had plenty of good Italian meals over the years, and even her side of the family absolutely loved the Italian buffet.
If you want a reasonably priced, good size, super fun venue without lots of drama/​headaches, check out the Verdi Club.
Thanks again Denny!

OMG I love this place. I want to get married in SF just so I can have an Italian-​American hall style wedding circa anytime between 1916, the year this place was founded, and 1989. Maybe I should throw a wedding party just for kicks – you know how people throw 80s prom theme parties, etc. The Italian American hall wedding party circa 1979, let’s do it. Music, food, passion, ivory lace. We could vote in the night’s bride and groom.
I came to Verdi Club for my birthday to see Cheryl Strayed’s Rumpus reading of Tiny Beautiful Things. It was full of the most glorious nerds-​in-​love-​with-​words, SF hipsters too sexy for their whiskey and wine bar alcove, stray singles clutching the free book they got with admission, quiet couples gazing at the stage. It was a contemporary cross-​section of new urban creative hopefuls and ladies with longings in their hearts.
The space is big and warm, with plaster walls and wood floors. There’s enough space to get caught up in the middle of it all, or tuck away into an intimate moment in the corner bar or back hallway. The stage is humble and fabulous. I’m looking forward to going to Porchlight there next week, SF’s staged story telling series.

Been curious about Verdi Club forever, thinking it was no doubt chock full of character. Went a couple of weeks ago to see a Sketchfest event, and it was fine for that… but characterful it is not. In the bar area, the ceiling is popcorn, and in the main room it is white tiles… a shame, because in both cases they are probably covering some nice woodwork.
On the plus side, there is a disco ball permanently attached in the ballroom, and if you go heavy on the decorating you could make this place look nice for your special event. Just don’t look up.

I cannot say enough good things about our recent wedding reception at the Verdi Club! Denny was great to work with, very chill but on top of all the details.
Food: we are still getting compliments on the food we served (through Sean, the VC chef). Chicken Piccata, Bacon wrapped pork, Stuffed manicotti for vegetarians and all the tasty sides. People loved the pancetta shrimp, mushroom tarts and sausage crostini appetizers as well.
Music: we booked the house wedding band, Marc and the Casuals. Best decision I’ve ever made! Marc is a fantastic guy and his band rocked the house. Everyone agreed they made the night!
thank you thank you Denny and the Verdi Club for an unforgettable event!

Took Partner in Crime here the other evening, to check out Johnny Boyd.
Cool place, cool vibes and good sounds, in an unpretentious venue full of cool cats.
Stompy Jones started things off, getting the crowd into the groove.
Johnny Boyd rocked the house! Good to see you again buddy. Don’t be a stranger and let’s go get a Hot Pocket sometime soon ;-) If we meet up in the Mission, then we can get us a Caliente Pocket.

Need something to do on a Sunday night? Do you like Jazz, R&B, Funk, Old School or Blues type Music? Then the Sunday Rhythm & Blues Club @ Verdi is where you need to be.
