We visited on a Friday night and the bar was so busy you could not see the floor, and there was a line for the men's room. The clientele is a mix of 20s on up to 50s. The guys are friendly and cute, and not shy about showing affection.

All in one place
My partner, my best friend and I had a great time in the Castro area April 21-25. The mix of bars were great. We recieved VIP treatment from a new club there. That just show the quality of this city and its people. Badlands is still the place to hang out for drinks, great music videos and dancing. It gets crowded on Saturdays but the line moves pretty fast. People are really friendly there and the drinks are served fast. Bartenders were pretty cute. Not too muscular not too skinny.
Full of bears;)
Some friends an i like to go in and grab a beer and just hang for a bit. The guys are usually very friendly and inviting but this is a bar for mostly bears cubs and otters yet there not going to be mean to you if your not;) all and all its a cool bar
"For the bear or daddy type, no one else" ... I think that's an over-generalization. I've been here many times and I actually find the vibe fun, relaxed, & accepting. Don't be scared, it's a blast.
