i remember there used to be one across from Martunis that is long gone. The Alcatraz was used a bit for cabaret but not much (and that's a shady area also) The Van Ness was a bust due to sound issues. Feinstein seems to be it now. I suppose teh restaurant will help keep it open in the tenderloin, but my impression is that this isn't much of a cabaret town to support even two venues.

I notice no one mention Yoshi of San Francisco. It has been successful for several years. Also Society Cabaret which started this year is starting to get full houses.

There was also the Boarding House on Geary where I saw Barbara Cook.

the boarding house was much more of a night club then cabaret. pretty big room. bette midler played here the first time she came to sf. and ms cook. and the manhattan transfer. but it closed up a very long time ago. for awhile they relocated to what is now cobbs corner on columbus. that's where i did 'beyond the fringe' back in '82.

Yes, the Alcatraz is a horrible spot for cabaret. But the views are incredible.
