SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.

SUMMARY:Jesse Levitt
DESCRIPTION:Jesse Levitt brings his soulful\, genre-defying sound to The Deluxe\, a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist based between Oakland and New York City who lives at the intersection of deep-rooted jazz tradition and modern exploration. Whether fronting a high-energy funk set\, layering cinematic textures on the EWI\, or stepping into a first-call sideman role\, Levitt’s playing is defined by precision and soul that has earned him stages alongside legends including Wynton Marsalis\, Benny Green\, Jane Monheit\, Wycliffe Gordon\, and Questlove — who has featured his work to his own massive audience. From his original modern jazz collective with the Levit-Behrman Collective to Oaklandish — a deep dive into jazz classics through the funk and soul lens of Oakland — Levitt is a restless\, generous\, and thoroughly compelling musician\, and The Deluxe is exactly the room his sound was made for.

SUMMARY:Zoo Band
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of electricity that doesn’t come from wires and screens\, but from roaring musicians locked onto the same pulse\, bending time until the groove feels like it shakes the earth and could stretch forever. That’s Zoo Band.\nRooted in the Bay Area and built for the moment\, Zoo is a soul-drenched\, jam-powered collective where tight musicianship meets wild improvisation.  Larry “Zoo” commands keys and vocals with a storyteller’s instinct.  On guitar\, Jordan (of Too Pretty for Radio) threads and shreds.  Manny layers rich keyboard textures that form badass sonic landscapes.  Andy’s bass doesn’t just hold it down\, it’s Funky.  Jeff Dukes drives it all from the drums bangin’ precision fire beats.  Mike’s saxophone is pure soul energy.\nTogether\, they build from deep funk to cosmic jam\, from simmering soul to explosive peaks. No two shows are the same because Zoo locks in with the audience as the seventh member of the band.\nStanding on the shoulders of the giants of 60s/70s Funk/Soul/Motown\, but grounded in their own unmistakable sound\, Zoo delivers pure joy with dance-compelling grooves that move!   Step into the Zoo safari.  This is the Zoo party! \nLARRY “ZOO” – Vocals\, Keys\nANDY – Bass\nJORDAN – Lead Guitar\nJEFF DUKES – Drums\nMANNY – Keys\nMIKE – Sax

SUMMARY:Rotating Bands at the Lion’s Den
DESCRIPTION:Experience the resurgence of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown nightlife at the Lion’s Den.  Tucked away on Wentworth Place\, this bi-level lounge and performance space blends modern cocktail culture with the East meets West spirit of the Chinatown’s golden age. Every week\, the venue transforms into a unique destination for live music\, featuring a rotating roster of the city’s up and coming funk\, soul\, and R&B ensembles. \nThe Sound: From 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM\, the stage belongs to a curated selection of live bands. The rotation frequently features bands such as Mark Maiden\, Funky Sound Experience\, Jay Neal\, The Groove Foundation\, Baycoin Beats\, and Git With It. Whether it’s deep-pocket funk or smooth contemporary soul\, the music is designed to bridge the gap between a sophisticated lounge set and a packed dance floor. \nThe Atmosphere: The design features plush velvet banquettes\, historic photography\, and dim\, moody lighting. It is a space built for “adult” nightlife—where you can enjoy an Asian-inspired craft cocktail during the live set before the room transitions to a high-energy DJ vibe after 11:00 PM. \nThe Experience: The Lion’s Den is a rare “no cover” gem in the heart of the city\, offering world-class musicianship in an intimate\, stylish setting. It is a place to rediscover the “cool” of Chinatown while supporting the next generation of San Francisco’s musical talent. \n\nA Legacy Reclaimed\nThe Lion’s Den occupies a legendary footprint in San Francisco history. In the 1940s and 50s\, Chinatown was a global nightlife epicenter\, home to iconic clubs like the Forbidden City. The current venue at 57 Wentworth Place was once the site of Dragon A Go Go\, a 1960s hotspot that kept the neighborhood buzzing during the height of the San Francisco counterculture. After decades of relative quiet due to changing zoning laws\, the reopening of The Lion’s Den in 2021 marked the first new nightclub to open in Chinatown in nearly 40 years. Today\, it stands as a cultural bridge\, honoring the glamour of the “Harlem of the West” era while providing a vital modern stage for Asian-American artists and the local creative community.
