Lower Pacific Heights

Lower Pacific Heights, formerly known as Upper Fillmore, boasts rich heritage, soulful roots, and a vibrant multicultural blend just down the hill from its larger, tonier sister.

Dining, entertainment, and shopping options in Lower Pacific Heights mirror its diverse surroundings. Japantown is filled with delicious restaurants from high-end to casual (and in-between), as well as lively karaoke bars and the Kabuki Theater.

Musical and cultural history flow through Fillmore Street. Anchored by concert venue mainstays The Fillmore and Boom Boom Room, the main drag has trendy boutiques, bars, and acclaimed restaurants in droves.

Locals love Historic Cottage Row, where homes built during the late 1860’s and 1870’s sit next to a miniature park perfect for dog walkers or park bench readers. It perfectly embodies Lower Pacific Heights – a neighborhood that brings together old and new like few others in San Francisco.
