The San Francisco Entertainment Commission approved several limited live performance permits on June 21, including a consent agenda of three indoor LLP permits and two regular-agenda permits: an application for the historic ferry Klamath, proposed to be permanently docked at Pier 9 by the Bay Area Council Foundation, and a permit for Barley, a taproom at 1038 Polk Street.
Staff recommended approval of the consent calendar with the Good Neighbor Policy and an SFPD condition for Underdogs Cantina; the commission voted to approve the consent agenda. On the regular calendar, Deputy Director Azevedo described plans for the Klamath: the vessel will include a museum, rentable conference space and a roof terrace; staff said the Entertainment Commission will set outdoor sound limits in accordance with Municipal Place Code §10.60.16 once the vessel is in the bay. Applicant John Grubb, identified as chief operating officer of the Bay Area Council, said the group reached out to about 129 neighboring addresses and expects primarily business‑related uses with occasional amplified speech or limited live performances. Commissioners asked about on‑site management and complaint response; the applicant said a manager will be on-site and contact information will be published on the venue website and contracts.
The commission also approved an LLP permit for Barley (1038 Polk Street). Owner Eric Anderson described outreach (five business letters and ten residential notifications), said the space is roughly 1,200 square feet and described planned programming (jazz, singer‑songwriter, folk). Staff noted Barley will be required to close renovated windows at 10 p.m. during performances and that an internal sound limit has been set pending renovations.
All permit approvals carried by roll call vote. Staff instructed applicants to follow up with deputy director and scheduling staff for next steps and to comply with the Good Neighbor Policy and any SFPD conditions.
