Any Other Stuff We Should Know?

We love benefits, we really do. We are all part of this wonderful SF community and should give back to it at every opportunity.
Read all the info below and email us at elriosflive@gmail.com with the following info. We will contact you with open blocks. Make sure to read all the information below before you write in. It will save us and you a lot of time. We look forward to working with you!

What is the benefit for?
What do you want to do during the event? (DJ/Live -Music/Food/Film/Performance)
Preferred times and days?
What areas do you want to use? (Front/Patio/Rear Room)
Realistic number of folks attending?

We save a certain number of days each month for emergencies and/or last moment stuff. The best approach for dates is to say what is the most ideal and then we work from that. Don’t be afraid of approaching us even though we look booked out. We are a community space and want to help you. And sometimes things cancel.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons are very popular and book far in advance. These are rarely available.

By booking with us, you agree to the following:
That you will give a 3 week minimum notice if you need to change or give up your date.

That all participants are over 21 years old.

That you agree and understand the potential costs of your event.
