440 Castro is a must-stop for those into the bear scene. The bar gets packed on weekends with throngs of men of all ages enjoying the intimate interior.

Cruising for a bruising...
Nice, friendly local hangout for the 40+ Levis crowd. Monday is underwear night, decent DJ music, but it's not always pretty. On weekends, everyone I meet is from New Jersey!
Great place to hang on the DL.
Fun place and decent priced drinks. If we go out we sometimes start or afternoon or evening here. However if you stay to long scandalous things begin to happen in the back and also in the bathroom. Have fun boys!
Dead.
I came here for a vacation and it is dead from Monday to Wednesday. I am from L.A. and was disappointed. Just a no-go on Monday-Wednesday in the summer.
Still a fav
The crowd is not always to my taste, but at least it's still a crowd. 440 has done better in this recession than many other night spots in the Castro. I think it's because of the efficient staff and easy access to Castro Street getaway-by-taxi.
Hopping on a monday night
Went there monday night. The place was hopping around 11. The men were older muscle bears and their admirers. If you were in your underwear, you got $1 off your drink. They have a clothes check. They had great SanFran beer. Delicious!! The people were nice (though a lot were from out of town). I would definitely go back, and this time I'd take my clothes off. :)
