Beautiful old movie theater with ornate decorations and a Wurlitzer organ. Often plays campy films, classic films, and deliciously tongue-in-cheek double header pairings. Iconic marquee.
Beautiful SF landmark which is a movie house as well as live performances. Sing-along sound of music is a tradition. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts
