Iconic SoMa Nightclub Temple Permanently Closing
Thanks to the San Francisco Chronicle for sharing the news that San Francisco’s legendary nightclub Temple, known for big-name DJs and epic (free!) tech parties, is closing its doors.
The iconic 116,000-square-foot club nightclub, which opened in SoMa at 540 Howard Street in 2007, became one of the highest-grossing nightclubs in the country. However, despite previous successes, Temple announced that it is closing permanently, effective May 25, 2024, citing financial difficulties and a changing nightlife environment. Sadly, all 86 employees will be let go.
Currently, Temple’s last scheduled event is on Saturday, April 13 with DJ Baywav.
