Who would have thunk that a costume would be a neighborhood store? Costumes on Haight is one of the best. -Thea S.
A fantastic shop for makeup, costumes, wigs, etc. They do have high-end materials for makeup prosthetics, & Ben Nye products, but you'll need to inquire directly. They can also do special orders. ;)
Nice laser show at night
Once a year or so is the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long. I highly recommend finding the dates, getting a costume and buying some tickets to this great event!
A beautiful movie palace, one of the few left, and a very civilized place to see a classic movie, or zany place for a sing-a-long. Get there early to enjoy the mighty Wurlitzer!
Beautiful SF landmark which is a movie house as well as live performances. Sing-along sound of music is a tradition. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts
Best spot to buy your Halloween and costume makeup!
One of my favorite places to go to if I need to refill my kit or get stuff for a set. They are so helpful too.
Best place for waterbased Halloween makeup for price and quality.
Funny to do on tuesday the rollerskating 70's groove ! Bring the boogie with your costume and dance all night !!!
Pay attention to what's happening here, because it's a great place to hang out. Read more.
Point Break Live...Amazing. Watch out for Bank Robbers in President Masks. They will spill beer, spit, fake blood and a mixture the 3 all over you.
The perfect place to shop for vintage cocktail dresses and one of a kind Halloween costumes! Read more.
Owners/salespeople are extremely helpful and can help you find treasures. I walked out with 60's Oscar de la Renta + affordable!
Great vintage hand - beaded replicas! I'm throwing a Josephine Baker-themed party in Paris and Cicily was great helping me find clothing & accessories authentic to the time period. Up to Size XL.
The exhibition Pulp Fashion was remarkable! Historic costumes created entirely of paper with extraordinary detail.
Amazing art place ..paintings and artifacts from ancient europe and Mediterranean places..and very well organized too..enjoyed it.

Wonderful price and selection, but avoid the week before burning man -- unless you too are shopping for last minute burning man costume supplies like the rest of San Francisco!)
Great selection, fantastic prices, and occasionally you can find awesome designer fabrics. Staff is friendly and very helpful.
Huge and cheap; big sales in October and march.
You can find all sorts of creative reuse for dirt cheap here. Read more.
There's fabric for days!
Best way into the park if you're coming from downtown! Awesome for biking or walking.
Long. Green. Patch. Precursor to the epicness of GG Park. Usually Overcast. Always Less Crowded. Great to Bike Thru. Not So Much For Double Dare Themed Birthday Parties.
Favorite trail to bike or run on. Up to stow lake mountain and back
Best art store in SF, hands down!
The staff here rules!
Find architecture tracing paper!
Lovely lingerie and they specialize in custom and ready-to-wear corsets! If you are going to any historical themed event and what some elegant class accessories from gloves to tights a must visit
Hidden away on Linden St, chk out Dark Garden for beautiful, custom-made corsets
Dark Garden is a treasure trove of accessories and accents - including Edwardian necklaces, stockings, gloves, feathered hair clips - for those of the gothic persuasion. Read more.
They have a surprisingly substantial costume section - masks, feathers, ribbons, hats.
I've ordered their products (mostly fur) online before, but it's neat to buy in person to see exactly what your fur batch looks like. Great friendly staff and sooo much neat stuff to drool over!
Id rather travel outside the city for my craft needs then set foot back in this store. Terrible customer service and way too pricey. Another mom and pop shop that should be put out of business.
My favorite thrift store in mission. Pretty decent selection of glassware and furniture.
They say open till 6:30pm, but its 6 and they're telling everyone they're closed.
Nothing like vintage gay porn. I love San Francisco!
Ask for assistance. Everyone who works here is super helpful and stylish.
This is one of the best vintage stores in the city. The owner Oran is the most helpful person ever, and I guarantee he will help you find something that you will love.
Saturday nights be sure to catch Secret Improv Society!
Generous pours at the bar.
Independent productions by local actors!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
