Ken, this would have been the San Francisco Tivoli. Blumenfeld operated it all during the 40’s till it’s demolition (which was in two parts. The auditorium went down in the early fifties to become a parking lot, but the office structure stood until the early sixties). The office part contained a large street level bar and a famous second floor after hours-club (Coffee Don’s).
The Tivoli sometimes, ran the same movies as the Esquire. Several times when i bought tickets at the Esquire Box Office, an usher directed mne, and others through a passageway and into the Tivoli. This, as I recall, was in the mid 40’s
