About Herbst Theatre at the San Francisco War Memorial Building:

The Herbst is small by most performing-arts standards (only 928 seats). So despite its stately appearance, it provides a refreshingly intimate atmosphere.

Wine, beer, soda and coffee are often available in the Main Veterans marbled lobby for shows with intermissions (not lectures).
