The Warfield Theatre
Event Types Welcomed
About
The Warfield Theatre in San Francisco was built as a vaudeville and movie palace and originally opened on May 13, 1922. All the big names in entertainment played on The Warfield Theatre stage including Marion McDonald from “Gone with the Wind” to Charlie Chaplin. Keeping with its illustrious past, the entertainment that graced this California stage in the 1980s ranged from bands such as the Clash, Grateful Dead and U2.
The interior is an ornate movie palace. The lobby of this San Francisco landmark features marble, guilt and chandeliers and opens to a grand staircase to the balcony. The main theater features a lyrical mural above the proscenium arch painted by Albert Herter. The mural contains images of floating matadors and their senoritas. The Warfield is a full-service facility with a variety of modern event spaces with unlimited possibilities. The San Francisco venue is available for a broad range of special events including corporate meetings, private concerts, banquets, receptions, awards dinners and much more.
