Club Fugazi Theater is home to the long-running hit "Dear San Francisco" from the world-renowned circus and arts collective, The 7 Fingers (www.7fingers.com). The show premiered in October 2021 to rave reviews from critics and audiences alike and has continued to win awards every year. This explosive, intimate, and immersive experience was created by Bay Area natives and serves as a love letter to the City by the Bay. A menu of small bites, shareable plates, and desserts, with a wine list drawing on the Italian roots of the Club, elevates the experience to what San Francisco Magazine called "San Francisco's Best New Night Out." Winner of 6 2024 readers' polls, including Best Venue, Best Show, "Travellers Choice" on TripAdvisor.
