Gangway (Closed Permanently)

(21 Ratings)
SF's oldest gay bar
Located in the historic Polk-Gulch district, this dingy hideaway is rich with character and tales of days gone by.

A historic none comercial sellout Gay bar

If you are looking for historical and still alive Gay Icons and strong drinks.Not to mention some fun shows with a claw machine that has sex toys and porn. This is the bar. Many sweater queens are a little put off by the blue collar nature of this historic dive bar. but dont let them turn you away. This is a San Francisco must.they open at 6am and have a crowed of the most diverse residence in the city from tranys to gogo boys to old queens. tell the bar staff Coy sent ya.

Never seen such a horrible Gangway...

Skip it... it isn't worth your time or money... way better places to go... unless you're down for the sleazy and offbeat bar that somehow still survive till this day!
