SAN FRAN

Part of New Zealand's music history since the 1960s, San Fran has developed an international reputation. Renowned for a high standard of live production, the cosy venue is the perfect in between size for established local acts and the world’s best up-and-coming internationals.

We’ve hosted countless legendary evenings with a long list of crowd-favoured gigs including The Breeders, Stereolab, Ween, Courtney Barnett, The Beths and many more.

Showcasing an eclectic mix of genres of the most unforgettable shows all week, San Fran has become a cultural hub for creative minds.

With our tasty selection of imported & New Zealand beers, delicious food & snacks plus our extra-long bar, we’re ready to serve our gig-goers at any hour of the night!

Located on Cuba Street, San Fran is right at the heart of the city centre, offering easy access to public transport, with local car parking also only a few minutes’ walk away. 

We are a cashless venue, so EFTPOS facilities and PayWave are available.
