Trigger [CLOSED] (Closed Permanently)

Nice addition to the Castro scene

Despite (or perhaps because of) seeming to be more of a New York or LA club, Trigger is a welcome addition to the Castro scene, and brings a very different vibe. The decor is chic and elegant, as is the staff. Though they have a dance floor, it's rather small and awkward. The best part is Friday and Saturday nights around 11:30 when they have a brief show with a rope dancer doing an acrobat performance. There's just nothing else like it in the Castro.

Fun, new must stop in Castro

I was skeptical of this place when I heard their concept of "membership" and "bottle service", two things that I think are ruining straight bar culture. However, I went here for pride and there was no evidence of that getting in the way. The place was packed, lots of great looking guys and the go-gos were hot. They seem to be programming the space well and I'll be sure to be back (and I recommend it highly on your barhopping in the Castro).

Not quite sure what to think...

Very glam decor, and if you go to a gay bar for the couches and drapes, then this is the place for you. Happy Hour is the best time to actually speak to people, but weekend nights are such a loud, cramped mix of bridge-and-tunnel players, stand-and-posers, go-go boys and God-knows-who-else trying to dance where there's no room, that it's just not fun.

really nice lounge

after hearing all the hype, i didn't expect to like trigger. but i fell in love with it the minute i walked in the door. the high ceilings and balcony are reminiscent of cool nyc bars, and the plentiful seating, lush design and relative quiet make it a pleasure to hang out with old friends and meet some new ones in what's a very diverse crowd that has yet to find a regular one. the bartenders are cute but without the pretensions of other some clubs. check it out.

New hot place to be

Great bartenders, hip DJ's, awesome drinks!! This place is a must!!
