Arriving

BART stops at Civic Center/UN Plaza and Muni Metro at Civic Center or Van Ness; Muni's 5, 6, 7, 19, 21, 47, 49 and the F streetcar stop nearby.

The box office is at the front of the building at 99 Grove Street, nearer Larkin Street; large bags are not allowed.

The venue has no lot of its own; the Civic Center Garage on McAllister between Polk and Larkin charges a flat event rate and parks bikes for free.

Drive times are OSRM’s on empty roads, the same best-case figure as the map’s suburban lens; game nights run far slower. The taxi figure is the SFMTA taxi meter rate ($4.15 plus $3.25/mi, as of 2026-10) on that distance, the only published benchmark; rideshare prices aren’t published and surge after events. The meter’s $4.15 includes the first fifth of a mile, so these taxi figures run about $0.65 high; a taxi from SFO adds a $6.00 pick-up fee, and tolls and tip are extra. With Clipper or a contactless card, a second agency within two hours (BART to Muni, say) costs up to $2.85 less. A Muni day pass is $5.70.
