Starting June 3, Treasure Island distillery Gold Bar Whiskey is hosting a series of outdoor movie nights at sunset, spotlighting films shot in and around the Bay Area.
The full line-up so far includes Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on June 3, Milk on June 11, The Pursuit of Happyness on July 9, The Parent Trap on Aug. 13, Bicentennial Man on Sept. 10 and What Dreams May Come on Oct. 8. The screenings cost $10, are dog- and child-friendly, and babies under two can attend for free.
Gold Bar Whiskey has been open since October 2023 and is housed inside the former Pan Am Airport on Treasure Island, along with the Treasure Island Museum. The grand, semi-circular building makes an appearance in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade as the Berlin airport — no doubt the reason it’s the first on this summer’s movie roster.
The Art Deco-inspired building was first constructed as part of 1939’s Golden Gate International Exposition and was the brainchild of architects William Peyton Day, who designed Oakland’s Fox Theater, and George William Kelham, who helped reconstruct the Palace Hotel after the 1906 earthquake. It is perfectly situated to enjoy stunning views of the San Francisco skyline.
Though limited seating will be available during the movie screenings, attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets. Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase from the distillery. Start times for each screening will vary in order to coincide with that day’s sunset. Check individual events for specifics.
