We saw Valencia Canal there a few weeks ago, it was awesome! I think they get artists of varying followings, some big some small. It's a pretty intimate venue tho!

Good to know

San Francisco spots, the quick version.

How many spots does Photerra have in San Francisco?

446 and counting — each one a real photo pinned to the exact coordinate it was taken. New spots appear as travelers share them.

Are these San Francisco spots on Google Maps?

Many aren't. Photerra's spots are photo-coordinates — viewpoints, benches, trailheads and corners with no business listing or address — so they don't show up on maps built from business directories.

How do I get to a spot with no address?

Open any spot in the Photerra app and tap once to launch Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber or Lyft — we hand them the exact coordinates even when the place has no name.
