The Cafe

The Cafe reopened. Muvh bigger now. "Boys bar" is on Friday with many cuties. Submitted via GayCities iPhone application

Coming of age and coming out in the SF Bay Area, I practically grew up at The Cafe. There are often lines out the door on weekend nights, and sometimes you can meet your dance partner outside before even getting past the door. My friends and I always enjoyed that there was no cover, and the bartenders were always generous with the pours, especially for a nice tip. You need a centrally located Castro dance club with cute boys and great music? This is it!

The updated remodel gives it a very chic and fun atmosphere! The music is ok, it was totally packed when we were there! The bathrooms are so much better! Friendly clientle makes all the difference!

I have a lot of loyalty to this place, as it was both my happy hour and late night hangout before the remodel. Boy Bar on Fridays has been one of my favorite bar events for years. I do like the expanded floorplan of the remodel, but wish there was more seating (even if it was just portable ottomans, like Trigger's, that can be removed during busy evenings). Looking forward to them returning to a more normal schedule next month.

I am vacationing from L.A. to San Francisco when I found out that this club/bar is dying. There was no life/music AND people on a Wednesday night when they are only open the whole time I was here (which was Monday to Wednesday). I had great expectations for an R & B, club hits, hip hop music tonight but it fell off the cliff when we were there at 11 pm.
