The Boom Boom Room at 1601 Fillmore, at Geary, is a blues and soul club opened in 1997 and tied in its early years to John Lee Hooker, who lived in the Bay Area for decades and lent the club his name and presence.
It carries on the Fillmore’s live music tradition in a small, dark room across the street from the Fillmore Auditorium, though it opened decades after the jazz district itself was razed. Live blues, funk, and soul run Wednesday through Saturday nights; the club is closed Sunday through Tuesday. Check the calendar for shows.
