Bissap Baobab SF is a renowned nightclub and restaurant in San Francisco, California, celebrated for its vibrant fusion of West African culture, music, and culinary traditions. Originally founded by Senegalese native Marco Senghor in the late 1990s, Bissap Baobab quickly became a beloved fixture in the Mission District, drawing a diverse community together with its welcoming atmosphere, Afrobeat rhythms, and signature dishes such as yassa and thiéboudienne. Serving as both a cultural hub and nightlife hotspot, the venue gained a reputation for its lively dance floors, themed nights, and infectious energy that bridged local and international communities.

Over time, Bissap Baobab faced significant changes, including closing its original location in the Mission in 2019 due to rising rents and legal challenges, only to triumphantly reopen in 2022 in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. This move revitalized its presence in the city, attracting longtime supporters and new visitors alike, and cementing its role as a cherished gathering place for celebrating African music, cuisine, and diaspora culture. Bissap Baobab is widely regarded as a cultural landmark not only for its joyous parties and community events but also for being a platform that supports emerging artists and fosters cross-cultural exchange.

Notable artists who have performed at Bissap Baobab include internationally acclaimed acts such as Vieux Farka Touré, Antibalas, and DJ Mansaph, alongside local Bay Area talents like Afrolicious, DJ Izzy Wise, and the band Namorados Da Lua. The venue has also welcomed celebrated DJs, percussionists, and dancers from around the globe, regularly featuring live Afrobeat, reggae, salsa, and world music performances that keep the spirit of Baobab pulsating through San Francisco’s nightlife scene.
