    I've gone here for a few different events including a Halloween haunted house and 2022 NYE party. It's a beautiful building with amazing architecture. I got to explore 23 different rooms that got decorated during NYE and the spaciousness of the place made it feel safer during times in where we have to be 6ft apart for health concerns.

    This building has so much character, you can just feel the history. It’s elegant and sophisticated, but with so many rooms from grand ballrooms to subterranean vaults, this architectural masterpiece can be transformed to match almost any experience.

    I attended an event in this building around Dream force. The building itself was far more interesting than the event. All of the safes are open in the basement for exploration, complete with a steam powered gold crusher. Such a cool place!

    Great historical building. Wandered around during a work related event and there are a lot of cool little details to be found around that hearkens back to the historical nature of the place. They also had the tiniest tacos I've ever seen! Seriously, one bite and they're gone, and there's no time for anything to spill out. Very cool.

    Very unique exhibit. Bought the VIP experience without reading the details. Showed up with my 15 year old son and was surprised to find out that the photographer was going to take us around and take photos of us. This was a really nice surprise and having someone capture those special moments made the experience unforgettable. The rooms of each exhibit are fantastic with lots of details.

    What a great place to see an EDM show! It makes me happy to have old world meet new world in a venue like this. There are plenty of bathrooms and the sound is excellent. There was one weird thing. One of the folks we recognize from Midway was security at the lower men's restroom and cautioned us against drinking the water fountain water due to "old pipes". Does a Mint building manager want to chime in on this? Seems like lead pipes would've been replaced per city code.

    One of the most stately buildings to get married in all of San Francisco! I am always in awe of the architecture and and gorgeous window light on the main level. Amazing spaces for wedding getting ready, ceremony and receptions. I can't wait to photograph here again! ig @teribphotography

    Great venue for company parties! We had a concert in the courtyard and various activities throughout the other rooms.

    Poor building! The city should take better care of it. I wasted my walk here. I’m an avid coin collector and coming here was on my bucket list, but now I believe I was better off going to a pawn shop.

    Not sure where to post this. The summoning haunted house was the most amazing experience. All I can say is bravo. Huge Halloween fan and this haunted house made my spooky dreams come true. Thank you

    A beautiful historical building with huge marble atriums, outdoor courtyards, large staircases, and real vaults. The basement levels feature circular vault doors from when the building did print US currency. It's quite spooky from the basement to the 3rd floor and easy to get lost in.

    This place is falling apart a bit inside and it seemed poorly maintained. Anyone hosting an event here has to add a lot of extra lipstick to the pig. There must be better venues in SF to host a conference. That said the conference I attended had great content!!! The venue detracted.

    Built in 1870, this building is a heritage site. Used for conferences currently. Some of the meetings are held in the underground locker rooms😅

    Cool place but a little dusty and smelly

  • 5/5 Natalia R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great outdoor venue. Watched a candlelight concert in the courtyard. It was a lovely setting. Check-in was very efficiently handled and the ushers were very welcoming.

    The Verse exhibit is worth experiencing. I went during the week, it was not crowded nor did I feel rushed.

  • 4/5 Lois T. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was amazing!!! We made it through the entire thing in about 1 hour & we took our time taking tons of pictures. I'd recommend wearing dark clothes to stand out against the lights. Totally worth the drive for us.
