Noisebridge is at 83C Wiese St, San Francisco, CA 94103-5920 (37.76527 N, 122.42050 W). Noisebridge is located between 16th and 15th Streets and Mission and Valencia Streets, 60 meters (200 feet) from the 16th Street/Mission BART station.

Public transit

The BART system provides service from around the San Francisco Bay Area, including connections to San Francisco and Oakland International Airports and the Caltrain and Capitol Corridor commuter rail systems. The nearest airport is San Francisco International (SFO), 25 minutes by BART. BART service ends around midnight each day, depending on line and direction.

From within San Francisco, 16th and Mission is served by the Muni bus network, particularly lines 14 Mission, 22 Fillmore, 33 Stanyan, 49 Van Ness-Mission, and 53 Southern Heights. Routes 12 Folsom and 26 Valencia also pass nearby. Some, but not all, Muni lines run 24 hours a day.

You can get real-time bus arrival information from NextBus. You can plan a detailed public transit itinerary with 511.org.

Cycling

Valencia Street is an official route of the San Francisco Bicycle Network, with designated bicycle lanes in both directions. There may be a relatively high incidence of bicycle theft in the vicinity of 16th and Mission, so bicycles should be parked outdoors with caution.

Driving

From the East Bay, take I-80W to US-101N, exit at Mission, immediate right on Plum, right on South Van Ness, right on 16th, right on Wiese.

From the South Bay, take US-101N, exit at Vermont, left on Vermont, left on 16th, right on Wiese.

From the North Bay, take US-101S (local San Francisco streets signed as US-101S are Lombard Street and then Van Ness Avenue) until it crosses Market Street and becomes South Van Ness, then follow South Van Ness, then right on 16th, right on Wiese.

Street parking in the area is difficult, since the 16th and Valencia area is a popular entertainment district. There is a commercial parking garage on Hoff Street (just across 16th Street from Wiese).
