The Howard SF

The Howard SF is a bar in San Francisco, CA. It operates as a flagship two-floor corporate event venue at 661 Howard Street, located about 700 feet from the Moscone Convention Center. The venue offers 12,000 square feet across two floors with capacity for 650+ receptions, 250 seated guests, 6+ meeting rooms (install required), stage presentations for 50-125 attendees, and multiple bars. It is designed for Convention Week Brand Headquarters, Large-Scale Corporate Receptions, Executive Panels & Programming, Sponsor Activations, and Multi-Day Takeovers.

The Howard is part of Gourmet Provisions, a group of eight walkable venues surrounding Moscone Convention Center with one unified headquarters near Moscone. This allows planners to run executive meetings, sponsor demos, hospitality suites, and evening receptions under one operations umbrella with one event team. The venue is built for high-traffic schedules where leadership sessions, partner meetings, client hospitality, and evening receptions all need to happen in one reliable location. Instead of splitting teams across multiple rooms in multiple buildings, planners can run one coherent program and keep momentum high. The property is surrounded by the convention corridor that planners already know, keeping guests, speakers, and sponsors within an easy walk of Moscone North, Moscone South, SFMOMA, and major downtown hotels.

The venue sits on Howard Street, about 0.1 miles from the Academy of Art University, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the George Moscone public artwork, with 3rd Street nearby.

The Howard SF holds a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting a well-regarded standing among those who have used the space. It offers a large-scale convention-week venue that lets teams consolidate their programming in one reliable location, steps from Moscone Center and the downtown hotels their guests already know.
