For access, the stairs up to the main hall are a bit steep, but there is a small elevator that you can use. Honestly, it was a bit challenging with high heels, but manageable. The bar area upstairs is cozy and is right outside the main hall. The main hall is spacious and is a fairly good size for small/medium-sized events. The main hall was used for both the wedding ceremony and reception, which worked out well. The restroom facilities on the first floor were good but the ones upstairs were not the best. The bathroom layout was awkward and it was a narrow space, so shimmying past people & trying to get inside was a bit tricky. Otherwise, the venue was good, and we enjoyed celebrating with friends and had a great time reuniting.

Super spacious and great for hosting events but not going to sugar coat it - the surrounding area needs help! It's in the bad part of the town.

Some of the beautiful interior have been painstakingly restored to its former glory. Featuring breathtaking Tiffany-style skylights as well as the original bank counter and vaults encased in red marble imported from Ireland. The location itself is quite sketch at night (and honestly during the day too) so we were glad for the heavy security and SFPD presence provided for our event. The front steps are quite small and steep so definitely be careful as you walk up and down them. Particularly after imbibing in some alcohol at the open bar.

Most of the panels/conversations happen on the top floor, which you'd think it would be big but it's actually quite intimate. Bathrooms were very clean and there was even a reception area right outside of the auditorium where they would serve beverages and allow the crowd to mingle.

The coffee was really good, but what surprised me more was the space itself. There are multiple floors with lots of comfortable seating and tables, plus rooms set up for meetings, events, or just for getting work done. It actually feels easy to sit and focus here. The rooms had whiteboards if you need them, WiFi, and everything feels thoughtfully laid out. The owner of the cafe area, The Fold Cafe, was super nice and genuinely easy to talk to, which made the whole experience feel even better. Prices were very fair too with alot of choices. I also appreciated that there are bathrooms on every floor. Overall, this is a really unique spot that doesn't feel forced or corporate. Definitely a place I would come back to, whether for coffee or to get some work done.

I discovered about this show on Instagram ads, and I'm glad that I did. We parked at a garage about a block away via finding it on ParkWiz. The show was sexy, funny, and very entertaining. The seats were okay; not very comfy. The said that they just reupholstered the seats recently too. The theatre is 100 years old this year?! That's crazy. The host said that this place is haunted for sure. I didn't get to visit the bathroom so no idea how it is in there. We were seated in the B zone area to left of the stage, and we had a pretty good view of the stage. The staff were nice and friendly.

When I asked for the rental fee, I was never given a straight answer, instead I was pressured to disclose how much I was charging my vendors. After finally agreeing to a fee and then it was suddenly doubled less than a week before my July 13 event. The excuse? That the downstairs space was being "opened for me," even though I never requested it. The owner also insisted I rewrite a press release to promote their "Broadway Revival" agenda, something that had nothing to do with my event. I ended up doing free promotion for their venue and agenda when they should have been paying me. Out of courtesy, I gave an additional $400, clearly stating in writing that it was only for two extra load-in hours on Saturday night and for Sunday's bartender. Once inside on Saturday to do load in with the vendors, I had to spend two hours cleaning just to make the space usable. I paid them, to clean their space. A total joke. When I arrived at 8 a.m. on July 13, after multiple confirmations with the GM Tom that he would personally be the point of contact, nobody was there to open the doors. Vendors and I were left standing outside, delaying setup for an event I had spent months preparing. Other major issues: -I was told there were plenty of 6ft tables for vendors. There were none. I had to buy my own and then fight for weeks to retrieve them. The GM dodged my requests, only returning them after I threatened to file a police report for theft over a month later. -The owner repeatedly told acquaintances they could vend without checking with me, forcing me to awkwardly deny people tables at my own event. -Minutes before opening, I was told the event had to be 21+ only. Families were turned away at the door, vendors lost sales, and community trust was damaged. -The bartender arrived late, overcharged guests, and pocketed the difference. -The sound system malfunctioned, undermining performances and leaving the space silent at times. Afterward, I still tried to resolve things professionally. I met with the GM, Tom Watson, and we agreed to host again on October 3rd, with promises that things would go smoother. He assured me multiple times it was confirmed, but kept dodging signing the contract. On August 18, he finally admitted he had double-booked and wanted me to move my date, even though he had booked the other promoter after me. After weeks of being strung along, I've had no choice but to cancel using their space because he text me on August 18 to tell me that he had double booked and now I'm left scrambling with the potential of canceling my event altogether. Losing time, money, and most of all trust with the community. An event that would have supported over 40 small local businesses, all because of this venue's lack of transparency and accountability. Booking a venue should be simple: clear terms, reliable communication, and mutual respect. None of that happened here. I cannot recommend this venue to any organizer or business owner looking for professionalism, unless you're looking to lose weight from stress. If you're an event planner, promoter, or any person who values professionalism, RUN. Avoid this new "crew" that is trying to revive the fab mab. They've affected my business, and they will do the same to yours.
