About Pena Pachamama
Step into San Francisco history at Peña Pachamama — a legendary North Beach speakeasy reborn as an intimate music venue, restaurant, and cultural sanctuary.
In its Prohibition-era past, this underground club welcomed stars and icons: Clark Gable fell in love with Carole Lombard here, Joe DiMaggio celebrated his wedding dinner with Marilyn Monroe, and legends like Rocky Marciano, Dean Martin, John & Robert Kennedy, and Gary Cooper were frequent guests.
Now transformed into a vibrant restaurant, bar, and performance space, the Peña has become what the San Francisco Weekly calls “the friendliest, most inviting nightspot in the city” — and what Zagat hails as “San Francisco’s favorite underground club.”
For private events, we offer:
• Custom menus — your choice
• Full bar service — cocktails, wine, and spirits.
• Stage & sound for live music, dance, or your own program.
• A warm, bohemian atmosphere where history, art, and community converge.
For larger private events we open the second floor restaurant in the original Speakeasy with tables, a small bar and view of Coit Tower.
Whether you’re planning a concert, wedding reception, creative photoshoot, private dinner, or celebration, Peña Pachamama offers an unparalleled San Francisco experience
