Site of famed San.Fran. strip club could reopen as adult entertainment venue

Four years after the closure of the O’Farrell Theatre, which Hunter S. Thompson once called “the Carnegie Hall of public sex in America,” the site of Mitchell Brothers’ infamous strip club may be resurrected as a new adult entertainment venue.

On June 25 a consultant for the property’s owner filed a conditional use application to “reopen an adult entertainment (venue) in a former adult entertainment venue” at 895 O’Farrell St.

The application comes nearly five years after the property sold for $9 million, having been marketed as a development site zoned for a 130-foot building. At the time, the marketing materials said that the property could accommodate a building with 339 housing units.

The buyer, O’Farrell Place LLC, however, never filed plans to develop the property and the strip club closed in 2020. It was briefly listed for $12 million in 2022 but failed to find a buyer. More recently, the Corcoran Group brokerage put it on the market again, this time with the price slashed to $4.95 million. The listing for the property now says a deal is pending.
