Parking in this area can be tricky — we always recommend public transit when possible.

Public Transit

The Nook is a half block from Civic Center BART, with multiple MUNI stops nearby at Market & 8th and Market & Larkin. There's also a Lyft bike station within a block.

Metered Street Parking

PayByPhone meters around Civic Center Plaza run about $3/hour for up to 4 hours, typically until 7pm. After 7pm spots are often free — but always check the signs as times vary.

Outside Bill Graham Civic Auditorium

If your event is in the evening, check whether Bill Graham has a show that night. If not, parking on Grove St. in front of the auditorium is usually available. Do not park there during events — you will get towed. See their upcoming events.

Civic Center Parking Garage

Available at $4–7/hour depending on time of day. Note: the garage closes at 10pm.

Bikes

Bikes are welcome inside the venue at the host's discretion. We don't recommend locking them on the street outside.
