      Dance, Videos and sweating
      Really the only place to dance in The Castro. Attracts all kinds - young, old, straight guys that flirt with the gays, and gay guys with their straight girlfriends. Pretty good music (not great) Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B and Dance. Lots of two fer one drinks and usually a line to get in on the weekends. The dance floor gets toooo damned crowded for serious workin' out of the dance moves but with a few well placed elbows you can make room. Definitely the place you'll run into Ex's or old tricks so be ready for all of that.

      Great outdoor patio
      and the drink specials are great. Service is so so, but you can't have it all. The crowd can be very mixed.

      DO NOT GO!
      I frequent this place often. I broke my ankle recentlty and I am sitll recovering. I went to meet friends this evening and the bouncer denied me access. I was not drunk and he would not allow me access. I left. I go to this club often and I was completely sober when I went to the front door. I have hard they have discriminated in the past and this bouncer at the front of the bar was completely discriminating. Very disappointing but I will not go back again.

      It's a great place to meet liberal gay boys
      This is a cool bar/club in the heart of the Castro. People here are very welcoming and friendly. I love this place.
