The Castro Theatre at 429 Castro St, San Francisco, CA 94114, is a storied movie palace and live event venue in the heart of the Castro District. Opened in 1922 and designed by Timothy L. Pflueger, its Spanish Baroque facade and neon blade make it one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. Today it hosts film screenings, concerts, comedy, podcasts, and community events.
Inside, the single-screen auditorium seats about 1,400 across orchestra and balcony levels, with clear sightlines and warm acoustics. The Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ sets the mood before select shows, often led by resident organist David Hegarty, a tradition that turns a screening into a shared celebration. Expect vintage character, comfortable seating, and a stage equipped for live performances and Q&As.
Programming spans repertory classics and premieres to festivals like Frameline, Noir City, and SFFILM, plus SF Sketchfest spotlights and drag spectaculars. Getting there is easy via Castro Station on Muni Metro, with ample dining steps away.
