Terrace

The terrace is a secluded space with a view overlooking the city on the 4th floor of our building. This is one of our most private event spaces! Our facilities staff can arrange tables before the event to make for a V.I.P. cocktail party or networking area. 

Accessible by elevators or stairs, the terrace hosts a concrete tile floor, sleek glass panel walls, and banisters. Benches line the outdoor space, and other seating can be arranged to accommodate sitting or standing events. 

The terrace’s unique rooftop view of the Castro and surrounding neighborhoods make it a breath of fresh air and a great party breakout space for larger events. See more information below-regarding equipment options.

We offer competitive rental rates and special discounts for nonprofits. Please email us at [email protected] or call 415-865-5631 if you are interested in any of our rooms.

The SF LGBT Center building melds the modern and the historical. The East side of the building is the last surviving Victorian on Market Street, having narrowly survived the fire from the 1906 earthquake. In 2002 the Center joined together the modern neighboring building with the Victorian. In April 2017, we held our ribbon-cutting ceremony after a year and a half of renovations to the building, providing whole new event and meeting spaces and bringing in new local service providers to be housed within our walls.

We encourage all event attendees to utilize the Center’s many community service programs. Please see what services might relate to your event here. Our building is temperature-controlled, and most electricity is sourced from our rooftop solar panels.
