AKA: Mabuhay, Mab, Fab Mab

The Mabuhay Gardens was a Filippino night club owned by Ness Aquino, located in North Beach, San Francisco. In 1976, Jerry Paulsen (of Psyclone Magazine) started booking punk rock shows at the Mabuhay. Aquino then entered an agreement to have rock promoter and television producer Dirk Dirksen to book punk and new wave bands. It quickly became a premier venue for punk rock in San Francisco during the late 1970s and early '80s.
