Best time in SF
this place was great! Friendly bartenders and partons. Fun music and cheap, strong drinks! The underwear party on Mondays is awesome. Who knew you could have so much fun on a Monday night?
First bar hit during the Castro visit.
Ok, hit this bar early on a Saturday night and it was getting full already. Not many young things here, but a few bear daddies to look at. Not the most pretty people here, but the beers were cheap and the set up is all about cruising. Stand at the top of the stairs to get a good look at the front bar! UPDATE: Was here on 10/18 and 10/20. Place was packed with people. Very friendly, quick service, but again, not much to look at. It's a great place to start the night, tho!
A gem in the Castro
One of the few places in the Castro where everyone is welcome. Great place to have a beer and meet guys who just want to be guys. Theme nights every now and then. Friday nights are always busy.
