Fillmore Auditorium

Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, the Grateful Dead – they all played the Fillmore, and the upstairs bar is lined with vintage psychedelic posters to prove it. Bands that sell out stadiums keep rocking this historic, 1250-capacity dance hall, and for major shows, free posters are still handed out. To squeeze up to the stage, be polite and lead with the hip.
