Toad Hall Formerly: The Pendulum

Its worth a stop in

Ok well good drink specials, Cute bartenders, nice amount of space, cool patio, good music one down side is that unless its a busy night its pretty slow and im not really sure why since its better than badlands and it doesnt smell like badlands lol Yet its def a cool place to mingle and have a great time with friends

The 2-4-1 special has me hooked.

Not as... exciting as Badlands. But that's a good thing! If you get here early enough, you not only get double your drink but also have space to meet and mingle in the back patio before dancing up a storm!

Badlands II - without the nervous twinks

The atmosphere resembles Badlands (with the non-stop videos), but there's more variety, and a more casual feel here, especially on the smoking-optional patio -- which can be quite friendly... A decent place to dance -- before it gets too crowded.

I think the new bar is fun and modern. The stucture of the bar area is great and I like the back area as well. Of course the first and only time I have been here is when Bebe Zahara Benet & Tammie Brown came to perform. So I can't say how great it is any other night but I had a total blast that night! Seems like there was no attitudes among the patrons which always makes my time a better time!

Don't smoke but I still love the patio

When our regular haunt (The Cafe) closed for remodeling, Toad Hall opened not long thereafter. I love the patio in the back where smokers and their friends can sit around tall wooden cabaret tables. One of the best happy hours in the Castro (though I find it odd that the drink prices vary depending on the mixers -- vodka soda is cheaper than a vodka cranberry). When I want to hang out with my friends for a happy hour drink, this is our favorite place to go.
