Following a year of shuttered doors, Feinstein's at the Nikko announced today they will reopen later this month with a lineup of fan favorites, Broadway stars, and local icons who will take the stage at San Francisco's premier nightclub. Tickets for all shows are on-sale now by visiting www.feinsteinssf.com.
With the health and safety of patrons, artists, and staff as a top priority, all protocols are in-line with the most recent standards and guidelines as set forth by the City and County of San Francisco. Due to the intimacy of the club, all patrons must be vaccinated. Proof of vaccination by all parties must be shown before entering. Guests are required to wear masks at all times while in Hotel Nikko lobbies, or when entering or exiting the club. Once seated, guests can remove masks.
"We are thrilled to announce our reopening dates and this incredible lineup of artists," said Feinstein's at the Nikko Creative Director and General Manager
Randy Taradash. "While I'm ridiculously grateful, and amazed, at how we've all been able to digitally engage with performers and their music this past year, I have longed for the analog and timeless experience of live performance. Feinstein's at the Nikko is committed to being a home to performers who enrich our everyday lives with their talent, to the composers and writers who allow us to see the world through score and lyric, and mostly, to the audiences who seek the singular experience that is live entertainment."
Opening at a greatly reduced capacity to maximize spacing, there will be a purchase limit of four (4) tickets per order. All tickets are sold as "General Admission" and seating will be assigned the evening of the show. Seating will be based on party size, arrival time, and is up to the discretion of the management. Doors open 45-minutes prior to curtain time. For questions regarding upcoming productions or special seating needs, please email
feinsteins@hotelnikkosf.com. Ticket prices are subject to change without notice.
"Hotel Nikko San Francisco is one of the few hotels in the city that stayed open throughout the pandemic," adds Taradash. "The management is dedicated to and has shown in daily practice for over a year their success at achieving and maintaining the highest quality of standards in safety protocols and guidelines for all staff and guests. In collaboration, we have evolved some of our standard Feinstein's procedures for the safety of our guests and staff, while keeping our commitment to being San Francisco's premier nightclub."
Ticket holders can enjoy Hotel Nikko's acclaimed drink menus during performances, although in-club food service has been discontinued at this time. Patrons can enjoy a 20% discount and three (3) hours of valet-parking when dining at Hotel Nikko's award-winning Restaurant Anzu before the show. Once tickets are booked, dining reservations can be made online at
www.hotelnikkosf.com/eat-drink/restaurant-anzu. Booking a seating time at least one-hour prior to showtime is recommended. All Feinstein's at the Nikko patrons receive a reduced rate of $10/hour for valet parking at the hotel.
