What we say
The Castro's original neighborhood bar.
This was the first gay bar in the nation to have fully open plate glass windows, making the statement that being gay didn't need to mean hiding from the world. There's definitely a regular, somewhat older, crowd here but its also a nice place to have a quiet conversation and watch the crowd go by the busy intersection of Castro and Market.

Just the place for old dears like me on holiday. Friendly, relaxed and a great place to people watch.

For gentlemen of certain age, we've known about the Twin Peaks bar virturally all our lives. It was, it is, and it will remine wonderful. There isn't much to it, a vintage bar space, an upper loft, that it. But, so many wonderful gentlemen and Ladies have sat before those wide windows, and seen their generations go by, some with indifference, some with nostalgia, some with pride. Anyway you look at it, the Twin Peaks have been at the nexus of our social evolement, whether it be in the Village, or WeHo, etc., all come together at those wide windows. I'm glad I am here it see them, and I glad I was around when they went up.

OK, so I'm not a spring chicken any longer. I loved this bar as a 20-something and I still love it now that I'm not. Good drinks, the music isn't overpowering (which means that conversation is truly possible), and the scenery through the windows is among the best in the world.

One look at the fantastic neon sign tells you that Twin Peaks is full of history and gritty charm. The staff and the patrons are always friendly, even if they do think of you as a "whippersnapper." There's nothing special about the drinks, but who cares when you can sit at the bar and enjoy the cozy, warm (if crunchy) atmosphere and the great views of all the folks passing by?

We always enjoy having a drink or two at Twin Peaks. Look out their huge front and side windows and watch the world go by. This is one of the first bars in San Francisco.
