About Victoria Theatre - San Francisco

The Victoria Theatre in San Francisco is a historic, intimate venue that has hosted a wide range of performances—from live theatre and concerts to film screenings. With a classic proscenium-style auditorium that seats in the mid-hundreds, the venue offers an up-close, personal experience that larger houses can’t match. Located at 2961 16th Street in the vibrant Mission District, it’s a short stroll from transit options and surrounded by dining and lodging that suit all tastes and budgets.

Whether you’re here for a local company production by groups like Ray of Light Theatre or catching a classic screening from the World’s Library of Film rotations, Victoria Theatre remains a cornerstone of San Francisco’s performing arts scene. The venue’s history—having been Brown's Opera House, El Teatro Victoria, and New Follies Burlesk before becoming the Victoria Theatre—adds a layer of nostalgia and character to every event.

We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan your visit, from parking and transit to nearby hotels and restaurants. Secure your seats with confidence and enjoy the intimate ambiance this historic theatre provides.

Parking is typically street-based or via nearby garages; SpotHero and similar services frequently list options nearby.
