Twin Peaks Tavern

Great people watching!

There is no better place in the Castro to people watch. Go here for great drinks, friendly service, and a perfect view of the corner at Castro and Market. Watch people emerge from the Muni after work, and all the men arrive for their evening at the Castro. Some people dis this place because it has an older crowd. So what! These guys are still around, still gay, and still having a great time. They're a lot of fun to be around, and if you happen to be younger, you'll get a lot of attention and strokes -- and there's nothing wrong with that. A really great, relaxing place. Number one in my book for people watching, cruising the men who go by, and flirting shamelessly.

I'll say it: God's Wating Room, the Glass Coffin

Still, it's an important place. Historical, great bartenders, venerable crowd. The mezzanine is also a great place to bring a date you want to talk to. Where better to pass an unproductive Sunday afternoon than the big plate glass window looking out into Muni and an oversize Diesel outlet?
