The Independent — know before you go
Is The Independent wheelchair accessible (ADA access)?+
The venue is wheelchair accessible. Patrons needing accessible space should contact the venue to reserve at least 48 hours before the show; specialty/accessible seating is available on request with that notice. Email or call 415-771-1421. The official accessibility page doesn't publish the accessible-entrance location or restroom specifics, so confirm those directly with the venue.
Does The Independent have seating, or is it standing room?+
General admission, standing-room floor. Only limited first-come seating exists (plus a second-floor balcony viewing area on some shows). To get a seat, arrive early or request specialty seating with 48 hours' notice.
Is The Independent all ages?+
Varies by show — some 21+, some 18+, some all ages (6+). Everyone needs their own ticket and valid ID. Check the specific event page.
What time do shows start and end at The Independent?+
The first opener typically goes on about 45 minutes after doors. Doors times vary by show (often around 7:30pm) and end times depend on the lineup — confirm on the event page.
Can I avoid ticket fees at the The Independent box office?+
The walk-up box office at 628 Divisadero opens only on show nights, one hour before doors until showtime, and buying in person avoids online service charges. The venue is cashless (cards/Apple Pay/Google Pay); online tickets are via TicketWeb.
What are the bar, drink, and re-entry policies at The Independent?+
Full bar. Coat check is available at $3 per item and earplugs are $1. Re-entry policy isn't published and varies by event — confirm with the venue.
Where can I park near The Independent, and how do I get there?+
Street parking only (metered parking is free after 6pm) on busy Divisadero. Transit: the 24 Divisadero Muni bus stops at the door and the 5 Fulton runs nearby; there's no adjacent BART (transfer from the Mission/Civic Center via Muni).
