The magnificent Balboa (house of Total SF movie nights hosted by me and Heather Knight) is among the Bay’s couple of making it through little area theaters, and does more with less than any theater inSan Francisco Two little screens seat less than 400 clients overall, however the experience surpasses the movies. The Balboa takes neighborhood demands, has a museum’s worth of San Francisco home entertainment souvenirs in the lobby (and restrooms) and serves hyper-local deals with– from local beer to It’sIts
The 4-Star Theatre on Clement, likewise in the Richmond District, has comparable vibes and is set to resume in December 2022 or early 2023.
Movie pairing: Take a walk to the Golden Gate Park bison paddock, Cliff House or the Lands End Trail and return for a burrito at Chino’s at 3416 Balboa St.– among the very best taquerias in the city.
