Midnight Sun reviews, photos - The Castro - GayCities San Francisco - Gay Bars

Fun place for pre-club

Phillynurse 40/M

Totally loved this place one early saturday evening a few weeks ago. I met up with some friends there @ 7ish for some drinks before moving on elsewhere to dance. All in all, it was really fun and I plan on returning. And yes, I am new to the area.

Fun and more Fun here!

Texasfruit 37/M

Small space with some decent 80's tunes playing on a Saturday night. The place was full, so sitting down was a tough act. Found a spot, ran into some practicing drag queens and the photoshoot ensued! Had fun here!! The drinks were cheap ($4/beer) and the people we met were friendly enough. Good mix of young/old here. Several diffent videos playing for the music so lots of folks focused on the flat screen TV's and not the people in the crowd.

great memories

Was my second gay bar experience (the first was End Up). I was 21 and I may have been a bit awed since I barely came out. Nevertheless, it has stood the test of time. I am 36 and I enjoy it now more than ever

Ugh! Just ugh!

In my opinion, this is the worst bar in the Castro. It's all about watching TV. What?!? I can do that in my living room where the drinks are stronger and less expensive. Guys go there to pick-up on other guys, but they actually end-up with eyes glued to the boob-tube.

Was Great Before, Is Great Now, and Will Always Be

BristowNorwich 63/M

I have to confess, I'm a man of a certain age, but, I have tried, as best I can to keep it all together. Everytime I'm in the City, and I hang out for a while at the MS. I remember when it was on Castro back in the 70's, and now on 18th, the genre has changed, but not it's over all good feel. For the young people who come home from downtown, the MS is a terrific haven for happy hour. For me it's wonderful to be surrounded by hot, intelligent, well-kept young people. For people watching it may not be the most comfortable, but it is exciting, and that's a good thing. Plus, the staff is as attractive & engaging as it's clientele, and that is always a very good thing. Frankly, staffing is the most important attribute a successful bar, and the MS has it.

Fun, laid back place

Friendly, slightly older crowd. Small but fun. Movie/TV clips between music creates a humorous enviroment. Would go back here anytime.

Bext Happy Hour!

Dexter 41/M

The Midnight Sun has the best weekday happy hour in the city! The space is tight and it gets crowded but thats what makes it fun. It's a friendly crowd and there is always someone to talk to. You can easily watch videos and cruise guys. The 2 for 1 drinks are strong so pace yourself.

great videos

pete 42/M

don't like to go to a bar alone? the midnight sun is the place for you. with great music and comedy videos to watch on the big screens, you feel as if you are with a group of people, even if you are not. and it's also easy to watch and cruise at the same time as well as meet people. these days the bar is best at happy hour... 20's, 30's, 40's attend... but the crowd get old as the night gets later. give it a try and soon you will be like everyone else in bar watching a designing women clip and reciting "that was the night the lights went out in georgia!"
