A lovingly restored Art Deco jewelbox of an independent movie theatre, with a Wurlitzer organ and splendid organist, special sing-along showings, and more. A "rep house" or repertory theater, it tends to screen a wide variety of classic or obscure but worthwhile films, and be a venue of choice of local film festivals.

The Castro Theatre is a historic movie palace in the Castro District of San Francisco, California. Built in 1922, the theater displays architectural styles including Beaux-Arts and Spanish Baroque. Its designer, Timothy L. Pflueger, also designed Oakland's Paramount Theater and other movie theaters in California during that period. The theater's landmark Art Deco marquee was added in 1937. The theater has a capacity of 1,400 for concerts, or 1,150 for movies.
