The couches are gone - replaced by "couch-style" seating, but the vibe of the place remains. This place is a true Haight Street original and if you're going to see a movie then this is the best place in the city to go to (with the possible exception of the Castro Theater).
Be sure to get the popcorn with butter and brewers' yeast. Yum! Leave a Comment Phone: (415) 668-3994

Flower Power of the 60's and all of the isms (Communism, Feminism, Authorianism, etc). Before the Present clean, Hip and Techno Savvy New Age Movement, there was the hippie culture (drugs, orgy, sex) and nothing is more Representative of the Hippie Movement than Haight/Ashbury District. Neo-punks, club kids, fashionites, tourists and neighborhood folks are equally at home here, whether they have come to get a new piercing, grab a burrito, find the latest drum 'n' bass 12-inch or just people-watch from a café. But save for a few hippie relics, the Haight today is a whole new scene. Exclusive boutiques, high-end vintage-clothing shops, second-hand stores, Internet cafés and hip restaurants have all settled in, making the Haight one of San Francisco's commercial centers

 Memorial Mural to Jerry Garcia
on Haight St. by emilienoelle
As you may know, Haight Street was once the home of such 60's rock icons as Janis Joplin and The Greatful Dead. The houses they lived in are still standing and marked out front with plaques for those interested in seeing them.
I was in San Franciso one week after Grateful Dead singer, Jerry Garcia's, death, so Haight was loaded with mourning Deadheads paying their final respects with one last roadtrip. Leave a Comment

Walk the side streets like Page and Cole to enjoy some of imho the most beautiful houses ever built anywhere. Leave a Comment Directions: This pic was taken north of Haight Street and south of the Panhandle between Stanyan and Masonic. Haight and south into Cole Valley down to Tank Hill along Ashbury is also great, but they're all over SF - some good ones in the Castro also.

 The Red Vic by LolaSanFrancisco
Delicatessen, Willy Wonka, Poltergeist & Run Lola Run. Ok, not only is that cool but there are little couches to sit on, and they serve coffee in mugs and popcorn in bowls. The staff is very rugged and committed to a very unique movie going experience. I must say, that I have had no problems bringing in beers.
My favorite moment at the Red Vic: every Christmas day (if I’m in town) I roll and nice fat joint and head out to the Red Vic for a matinee of Harold and Maude. Some how this always this puts everything right for me.
Two big thumbs up for the Red Vic! Leave a Comment Phone: 415-668-3994Directions: The Red Vic Movie House is located on Haight Street,between Cole and Shraeder, just a block and a half east from Golden Gate Park.Website: http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com

Artists such as the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin used to make their homes here. Landmark seekers still photograph the former homes of Janis Joplin at 112 Lyon and the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia at 710 Ashbury. Those 60s 'flower children' can recall the Red Victorian, a brightly colored, 18-room guesthouse, as the "Jeffrey Haight", a crash pad during Haight-Ashbury's glory days. A psychedelic hub around which a generation's values crystallized, the Haight set an agenda that was solidly antiwar, pro-free food and free love, and stood ready to challenge the capitalist state.
Today the Haight continues to be a popular destination for those trying to find the "the Summer of Love". They try to find it in the head shops and stores making the hand-made tributes past memories, and in the drum circles on nearby Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park's Sharon Meadow. But time has brought trendy boutiques, restaurants and novelty shops to replace less profit-oriented neighborhood businesses. The discovery of a Gap on the famed corner of Haight and Ashbury daily makes disillusioned pilgrims moan at the irony. The Haight is a combination of affluent shop owners and homeowners, burned-out hippies and destitute street people, youngsters with their hands out and credit cards in their back pocket, as well as those seeking a countercultural lifestyle.
