Savanna Jazz, a club that operated out of the Mission District in San Francisco for 12 years, has has packed up and moved to Laurel Street in San Carlos.  Live music isn't currently permitted at the new location, but owners Pascal Bhokar Thiam and Vicky Lawlor are seeking a conditional-use permit from the city to allow live entertainment until 11 pm.  It will be up for approval from the Planning Commission this evening, and city staff is recommending approval.
The site in question is currently permitted for use as a bar, having been previously occupied by Clooney's.  As such, over the past few weeks Savanna Jazz has been open and running as a sports bar pending approval of their conditional use permit.  They already have a slew of live events advertised on their website - including some scheduled for this weekend).
Pascal Bokar is a renowned jazz musician and composer himself, and currently works as the director of the jazz band at the University of San Francisco.  He's scheduled to perform at Savanna Jazz this Friday and Saturday night @ 8pm - stop by and check it out!
