By far my fave!
This was by far my favorite place that I visited while in San Fran. Nice people. LOVED IT
A little too neighbourhood
Moby Dick seems like the kind of homely bar that's perfect to unwind after work. As a visitor, I simply found it dull. Aside from an opportunity to unleash your inner pool/pinball freak, there's not much here that can't be had at much more lively venues in the Castro.
first experience 1985
My first visit to SF was in 1985 and I loved every minute of it. I had a great time in Moby Dick's
relaxed gayborhood vibe
set on a busy street corner right below castro, this friendly bar features huge exotic fish tank over the bar, and busy pool table in the back. gets a little crowded on weekends, and the drinks are not generally great, but this is always a wonderful place to hang with friends and meet some new ones. love it when the party spills out onto the sidewalk on warm summer evenings
Friendly neighborhood bar
Whether you are here to play pool or pinball or just to socialize with friends, or make new friends, this is a great place to stop. The clientele is friendly and fun to chat up.
