Commission approves 90‑minute extension for private Dreamforce event at Thirsty Bear
Summary
The Entertainment Commission approved a one‑time permit to extend entertainment to 11:30 p.m. for a private corporate event during Dreamforce after staff reported outreach and planned on-site security and SFPD coordination.
The San Francisco Entertainment Commission voted to approve a one-time outdoor entertainment permit that extends hours of entertainment to 11:30 p.m. for a private corporate event at the Thirsty Bear during Dreamforce.
Applicant Steve Marcebo, who said his firm helps corporate clients navigate permits, described neighborhood outreach that included flyers with contact information and offered a hotline and on-site security during the event. Marcebo said the first night’s entertainment would be a silent disco and the second night would include a DJ; the requested 90‑minute extension applied to the second night.
Commissioners questioned applicant outreach and complaint response procedures; Marcebo said event management and SFPD will be on-site and a hotline phone number is available to neighbors who can contact staff or security if noise becomes a problem.
Commissioner Dore Camino moved to approve the one‑time extension; Commissioner Thomas seconded. The commission voted Aye (roll call read by staff) and approved the 11:30 p.m. extension.
The approval included the condition that the applicant follow any police/security conditions and be responsive to neighbor complaints during the event.
