Presidio Theater
The Verdict
"The schedule changes weekly, so check the calendar before you go. The free PresidiGo shuttle stops out front, and there is free evening parking under the Main Post."
What you need to know
A renovated 1939 art deco theater in the Presidio’s Main Post, built as the Army post theater and seating about 600.
What to Expect
The theater is a rental and presenting venue. Programming depends on who’s booking: independent film, comedy, music, dance, lectures, and private events all cycle through. Check the calendar for what’s on a given week. The room is well maintained, with raked seating and decent acoustics. The Main Post has a few dining options nearby, including the Tunnel Tops cafes and the historic Officers’ Club.
Getting There
The free PresidiGo Downtown Shuttle stops at the Main Post Transit Center, a short walk away. The 43 Masonic stops at the Main Post on weekdays. Free parking in Main Post lots in the evenings.
