Lookout Bar

I had mixed feelings after entering. There was plenty of music in the small bar and thr lights were going like it was expected that you were on acid. I found nothing more than people standing round in groups trying to have a conversation with friends over the music. No one was dancing (and there frankly was no room to try) i found myself eacaping to the patio for some fresh air as it was hot and muggy inside due to the large stagnent crowd. The drinks were strong and fairly priced. I felt the focus of this "club" needs to be re-thought. For a friday night there should have been a party, not a gathering. All in all i felt the lookout (with some focus) would be a place worth visiting again.

When the Metro occupied this spot, it was a quiet little happy hour/post-brunch bar whose main draw was the balcony. Now the new owners of the bar now called the LookOut are regularly creating new event nights to keep it fresh. Different forms of music, drag shows, trivia nights, charity fundraisers, jocks in jocks with jell-o shots, and some of the friendliest bartenders in the Castro. I've seen go-go boys on pedestals, in showers, and in cages (though usually there aren't go-go boys at all). Love that you can order from the adjoining pizzeria from the bartenders, and still love the balcony (though the seats are getting ricketty and maybe should be repaired or replaced).

This is my new favorite place to go for a Sunday Happy Hour drink. The bartendars are great, the drinks are strong and ok on the price, the guys and gals there seem to have no serious attitudes which is a total plus, and most important~there is normally enough elbow room to go around, and it's always a good time there!!

This is happening to the folks who adore and who are trannies! The view was the best one I've seen amongst other clubs/bars in San Francisco. But it was still dead compared to Los Angeles' tranny clubs/bars. It was welcoming, though, by the tranny downstairs! The music and the decor was good, but the club having a view on the second floor was the best feature!

It's busy and loud on Sunday afternoon (get there before 3:00) with just as many hags as f--, oops, gays.
