You can reach the bar via the phone at 415.970.0012. If we don’t pick up, we’re busy, closed or we still haven’t replaced our crapy phone. Come down and say Hi! or email at amnesia1@mac.com or heidi.maureen@gmail.com.
Amnesia is located at 853 Valencia St., between 19th and 20th streets in the Mission District of San Francisco. Directions can be found here.
We’re open 7 days a week from 6 pm - 2 am. Happy hour is from 6 - 8pm and tasty beverages are easier on the wallet then.
If you are interested in booking a show at Amnesia here are a few handy tips. Please DO NOT send us a promo pack via the mail unless requested. Waste not want not. Instead send us an email inquiry with the band/act title in the subject one of the following persons depending on your interest, or to all of us if you can’t figure it out:
Shawn Magee - Mondays/General
Heidi Alexander - Thursdays/General
heidi.maureen@gmail.com
Matthew Harman - Sundays
We can be found at Myspace here: www.myspace.com/amnesiabar, however, it will be much more efficient to contact us directly through email and embed a link to YOUR myspace page in your email.
Although we prefer to get material online, if you don’t have web hosted material you can send it to:
Amnesia : Booking
853 Valencia St.
San Francisco, CA 94110
In your booking request please include vital information about your project including links to your music, websites, bios (when informative), usual band draw and prospective date ranges you are interested in for a show.
We receive many inquiries and respond to those that seem to be a good fit for our programming and schedule. If we’re interested in your stuff we will contact you. Typically we are booking 6 - 8 weeks in advance. If you plan on having a show with us, make sure you don’t book another show 2 weeks before or 1 week after your date with us.
If we book a show with you, help us help you by helping us promote it. The more people you bring down the better it will be. Get us a poster and we’ll put it up, get us some flyers and we’ll pass ‘em out, send out an email but don’t wait until the day before to promote your great show!
If you’re thinking about posting flyers in SF please read these guidelines first:

Amnesia is the little neighborhood bar that could. We offer a diverse selection of music and reasonably priced drinks to an equally diverse crowd in an unpretentious and friendly setting. We’ve been voted best dive bar and best swanky bar back to back. We may or may not be a swanky dive but we certainly believe in good times and that’s what we like to have.
We also love music and have worked hard to make ours a great sounding room. In 2007 JK Sound installed an entirely new system, which has made our sound persons, pickers, jazz bands, garage bands, noise bands, joke bands, chamber quartets, DJs, bartenders, cleaning people, owner, and patrons all very happy.
