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.
