Start Your Castro Crawl Here
Great Happy Hour, buy one drink, get the 2nd for $1. Even though HH used to be a true "buy one get one" the extra $1 is still a great deal considering the stiff drinks the bartenders pour. Start your Castro crawl here!
Never Miss It
Always hit Midnight Sun on every trip to SF. Great variety of videos depending on the night.
Now with Bears :)
More and more bears have been hanging out at the Midnight Sun on Sunday evenings. The VJs play a mix of current and retro, plus hilarious clips. A fine and fun way to wind down the weekend.
The Sun has Set
I have loved the "Sun" for many years, about 25 years to be sure. In those years I have seen bartenders and door men come and go and have always been treated nice, welcome as a regular and looked forward to meeting my friends their. As a business man myself I have learned that while employees do come and go, you want your good and loyal customers to stay, In those 25 years I have spent Thousands$$$ adding to the lively hood of the bar and its employees. Recently they hired a new door man who called me an "old man" and said "I didnt have the right to be there". Maybe I am old, 51 years old to be exact. I have spent the mentioned Thousands of dollars over the past 25 years in the Sun, i have been nice, pleasent, never caused a scene. I've been a perfect customer, spending lots of money and causing no problems. I didnt realize that age had anything to do with it. I will say that from now on this "old man" will happily spend his money elsewhere, and do my best to convince everyone else to do the same. For me, the Sun has Set on the Midnight Sun....
