Francesca didn’t just clean the floors; she held the line. For 35 years, she saw herself as a steward, not an owner. She kept a threshold open—literally and symbolically—for artists, musicians, and misfits. Her passing sparked the plan to protect the Mab’s cultural life instead of watching it disappear into the city’s churn.
“KEEP THE MAB ALIVE.”
The late Francesca Valdez with Tom Watson
THE VISION
Now we’re carrying that lineage forward by turning the Mab into a platform for culture, regeneration and creativity.
We are reclaiming 443 Broadway as a community-owned ecosystem. Two levels. Infinite possibilities.
PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE THE NOISE IS.
Pitch in. Give what you can. Or don’t, and watch another piece of the city’s soul turn into a parking lot for a ghost.
YOUR CHOICE.

BOOK THE LEGEND.
In Tagalog, Mabuhay translates to “welcome” and “long live.” The walls of this building prove it. Since the late 1970s, this space has been the crucible of San Francisco counterculture—a proving ground for punk, drag, comedy, and raw rock and roll. We didn’t just host icons and misfits; we forged them.
That pulse still drives On Broadway + The Mab today. Across two active levels, we aren’t just renting you an empty box and a PA. You’re claiming a piece of a historic stage.
“This is not a blank room. It’s a living stage.”
Whether you’re throwing a DIY show, launching a record, or building something loud—this is where it happens.

“I remember when they said
THE MAB WAS DEAD.
They said the same thing about the city
in ’06,
in ’89,
and in 2020.
I’m still here.
The bricks are still here.
And now…
WE’RE FINALLY GROWING SOMETHING THROUGH THE CRACKS.”
