The Hibernia

The Hibernia is a distinctive historic event venue in the heart of San Francisco, combining grand architecture with the practical facilities needed for modern events. Originally built in 1892, the landmark building offers an impressive setting for organisers planning weddings, conferences, corporate gatherings, product launches, award ceremonies, nonprofit galas, private celebrations and live events.

Across more than 40,000 square feet, planners can choose from four flexible spaces, each with its own atmosphere and capacity. The Main Hall provides an expansive backdrop for large receptions, seated dinners, conferences and major productions, with original banking details, ornate finishes, stained glass skylights and historic vault features. The 1 Jones space offers an industrial-style environment with exposed brick, concrete floors, steel columns and former bank deposit vaults. For smaller or more intimate occasions, the Penthouse includes a private rooftop, while the Tobin Suite Library offers an elegant setting for executive meetings, workshops and receptions.

The venue can host events for small groups through to gatherings of approximately 1,500 guests, depending on the chosen space and format. Event planners can make use of breakout rooms, green rooms, high-speed fibre-optic internet, catering facilities, loading access, customised furniture, outdoor lighting options and professional production support. In-house and preferred suppliers are available, while outside caterers and vendors may be considered subject to the venue’s requirements.

Located close to City Hall, Moscone Center, downtown hotels and BART and MUNI connections, The Hibernia is well positioned for local and visiting guests. Its combination of landmark character, flexible layouts and event-focused support makes it a versatile choice for organisers seeking a memorable San Francisco venue.
