Need I say more!
Oh Daddy
Thank you for being a pillar of our street and community. I love you and your trough.
Great Place to Socialize Meet Someone New
Every time I walk into this place I feel like I'm naked by the time I reach the back, lol. It's a fun horny crowd good natured and usually friendly.
Daddies
This bar used to be called Daddy's and has kept that same clientele. The drinks are some of the most affordable in the Castro including a $2 Miller Lite draft. The staff is friendly and underwear night on Mondays can get a bit crazy. If you are under 30 the only reason you would end up here is if you are bar hopping with older friends. The best way to describe this bar is it's the Folsom bar type crowd in a Castro bar.
Fun, fun, fun
I am not a bear. I am not into bears. I am not an aficionado of bear culture, levis or leather. That doesn't really matter. Although it is clearly a club that appeals to the bear/leather crowd, it's welcoming of everyone. The staff and the patrons are friendly, completely without attitude or assumption, and just there to mingle with friends and strangers alike. It's clear, too, that many are there for more than mingling, but the place is delightfully free of any desperation or ill-feeling. Add to it remarkably cheap alcohol, two nice bar areas, decent music and a little patio, and you have a really good place to come in out of the cold San Francisco summers.
