429 Castro Street San Francisco CA P: 415.621.6120
The city's premier movie palace, this ornate Spanish renaissance building was built in 1922 and has been threatened for years to be torn-down. A great art house for unusual films, the movie-going experience is full of drama due to the house organist who plays on the Wurlitzer organ before each weekend show (you'll hear a rousing rendition of the song "San Francisco...open your golden gates..."). Before and after the show, enjoy the gayest district of the city, the Castro.
