All Visitor Reviews for Hole in the Wall (8 reviews)

It's definitely an interesting bar to check out. It has definitely improved since its move to its new location on Folsom. Drop by for a drink and don't expect much, since it is only a hole in the wall... seriously!

love the old time of this place, like i'd been transported back to the 70s. since i was only a teenager back then, it's fun to see what it might have been like had i the guts to come out a little earlier :-) nowadays i force my non-gay friends to stop in with me for a drink after work. after overcoming their shyness, they end of loving the totally unpretentious feeling and the attention they always end up getting from the rather, well, outgoing regulars

I must say that the owners went overboard with the stained glass window in front. How many gay bars have stained glass? The new Hole would work much better if they found a way to deaden the noise -- it sounds like a high school gym in there -- and made it cozy. Inside it looks way too industrial. Fix those two problems and the new Hole will be a winner. The crowd is good, the drinks are good, the bartenders friendly.

This is my favorite bar in the city. The greatest mix of net nerds and naked bears. One cigar munching monster (naked) was staring me down and said "What are YOU looking at?" I said "You, handsome." Peace reigned.

Great atmosphere.

The music is the best mix in any bar I've been to: rock, funk, blues, punk, jazz, bluegrass. . . no disco, no show tunes. Amazing collection of art, trippy lighting, and killer cocktails. Friendly, diverse, wacky crowd.

From the week after this place opened it had the wax monument to wasted hours and watered drinks burning brightly on the bar corner. There must be action here, and we we've never found it. It's as if the SoMa Phoenix was born, fully jaded and waiting, but there were no takers. Check out the Lone Star, which is sad but true...
