Nearly mistakable for a college town pub, this place open since 1980 has games, spirits, and a popular back patio.

The Pilsner Inn is the best
This is a wonderful neighborhood bar. Friendly and mixed group. Mostly gay men, but lots of Lesbians and straight folks, too. All are welcome. Highly recommend!
OK, Love the Place, BUT...
...Always been comfy there 'till recently. I guess its because there are a few (V. few..) men who hog the pool table (old & needs replacement) & clique-ish behaviour, enuf to make one feel unwelcome at times. All in all, you'll like the rest of the place.
This bar rawks!
There's a spot where you can "people watch" the passers-by. The bar is frequently lively. There's a nice pool table. The backyard/patio is comfy and well decorated. I've never had a bad time at the Pils.
Great Neighborhood Bar.
I love this bar! It's a neighborhood place that draws in a local crowd. The back porch itself is incredible...luch plants and even a pond with gold fish. The crowd is preppy to levi. The bartenders have been there for awhile and if you're a regular you can generous pours on drinks. It gets very crowded on the weekends but that makes it even more fun. It's off the beaten path of the castro but worht the effort to walk a few more blocks.
