Filmed here: Eddie and Anne's apartment exterior and scenes
This Telegraph Hill building served as the exterior of Eddie and Anne's apartment. It is a real residential address on one of San Francisco's most photogenic streets, and the same building appeared in Basic Instinct. There is no tour or interior access, since people live here, but the sidewalk view is public and the surrounding blocks with their cottages and gardens are worth the walk on their own.
Location 02Marin Headlands / Hawk Hill
California, Sausalito Free to see
Filmed here: Life Foundation headquarters exterior overlooking Golden Gate Bridge
The Life Foundation headquarters exterior, with its dramatic view over the Golden Gate Bridge, was shot at Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands near Sausalito. The area sits within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, so hiking trails and roads are open to the public. Visitors get the same sweeping bridge and city panorama seen in the film, and it is a short drive from San Francisco.
Location 03Edinburgh Castle Pub
California, San Francisco Free to see
Filmed here: Eddie's bar interior scenes
The interior bar scenes where Eddie drinks were filmed at the Edinburgh Castle Pub at 950 Geary Street in San Francisco. It is an operating pub, so visitors can simply walk in, order a drink, and sit inside the actual filming location. That makes it one of the easiest Venom sites to experience rather than just photograph. It sits in the Tenderloin, close to other downtown locations.
Location 04Merchants Exchange Building / California Bank & Trust
California, San Francisco Outside only
Filmed here: Anne's workplace entrance and breakup scene
Anne's workplace entrance and the film's breakup scene used this historic Financial District building. Only the exterior can be viewed, from the street, but the architecture makes it a worthwhile stop for fans of old San Francisco buildings. It sits in the heart of the Financial District, so it pairs naturally with a walking route through downtown that takes in several other Venom sites.
Location 05J&C Foodmart (former)
Georgia, Atlanta Closed
Filmed here: Chinese grocery store / Mrs. Chen's store scenes
Mrs. Chen's store, the Chinese grocery where several memorable scenes take place, was actually a downtown Atlanta location, not a San Francisco shop. The storefront has since closed, though the surrounding area remains public and can be walked past. There is little signage connecting it to the film today, so travelers will want to confirm the address before setting out, and keep expectations modest.
Location 06American Cancer Society Center
Georgia, Atlanta Outside only
Filmed here: Life Foundation interior lobby and entrance
The Life Foundation's interior lobby and entrance were shot at the American Cancer Society Center in Atlanta, near Centennial Olympic Park. Only the exterior is accessible to visitors, but it is easy to reach on foot from other downtown Atlanta filming sites. It stands in for one of the film's most recognizable corporate settings, which makes it a popular stop on movie location walks.
Location 07Georgia World Congress Center
Georgia, Atlanta Ticketed
Filmed here: Life Foundation tunnels and airport lounge sets
The Life Foundation tunnels and airport lounge sets were built inside this massive Atlanta convention center. Access depends on what is happening there: it is a ticketed venue, and entry generally means attending an event, though tours may occasionally be available. Fans should check the center's event schedule before planning a visit, as on a quiet day there may be nothing to see inside.
Location 08Rex Mill area
Georgia, Rex Private property
Filmed here: Malaysian village and bridge set
The Malaysian village that opens the film, complete with lanterns and a bridge over Big Cotton Indian Creek, was a purpose-built set in Rex, Georgia. The site is private property and not open to the public, so travelers should not attempt to visit. It remains interesting as a piece of production trivia: an entire overseas village constructed from scratch a short drive from Atlanta.
Location 09Panola Mountain State Park
Georgia, Stockbridge Free to see
Filmed here: Woods chase scenes after symbiote escape
The woods chase after the symbiote escape was filmed in this state park near Stockbridge, Georgia. The park is open to the public, with trails through the same kind of forest scenery seen on screen, though entry fees may apply. It is a pleasant stop for travelers combining film locations with outdoor time, roughly a half-hour drive from central Atlanta, and far less crowded than city sites.
Location 10Kearny Street / Broadway
California, San Francisco Free to see
Filmed here: Motorcycle chase scenes
The motorcycle chase used these busy public streets in San Francisco's North Beach and Chinatown area, mixed with Atlanta locations such as the Rialto Center for the Arts. Visitors can ride or walk the same blocks and recognize the steep hills and dense storefronts from the sequence. The streets are public and always open, and the surrounding neighborhoods are among the city's best for food and wandering.
