Very Busy and Fun

I've had lots of fun on several visits to Powerhouse. The back "smoking" area can get very busy and very active. Good mix of guys, good drinks. The best bar in San Francisco in my opinion.

Down n Dirty Bar

This is really a great place to just go when ur hungry and tired of Grindr. U actually see what ur getting. Great theme nights during the week. Go to the back patio where all the action is.

they shouldn't be there!

visited during Thanksgiving weekend. loved the decor, with its hanging underwear and TVs on the ceiling...very original! went to the backroom hoping for some action but instead was thoroughly turned off. the backroom was full of chatty Queens gossiping about nonsense while sipping their Martinis! that area is supposed to be for men to get/give good head, not for beauty parlor chatter!

When size matters!

Of course you had been there for a beer and went in the backyard fo a smoke! In the main room, nice music and cool beers, but in the backyard, hot atmosphere. The yard is pretty crowded and you can see some actions: from time to time good BJ and some fucking. If you want so, don't waste your time trying to socialise! If you are top, go in the yard, open your trousers and show what mother nature gave you! If you are reasonably gifted, a cocksucker will go on his knees and will give you pleasant time! If it was good you can invite him to your place fore more fun or you can throw him and after a little rest have a 2nd round with an other one! No matter if you are a clone of Brad Pitt or not, what counts here is the size! Had one of the best BJ of my life, the guy completely swallowed my 7.5 inches dick! Hmmm If you are bottom, find a good cock to suck and show your talents!

Levi's bar / Cruise bar

Bartenders hot.. Some hot pardons who are there not looking to talk much, but cut to chase. Let me tell you.. not a problem at all with that. The bar attracts 30 - 50's guys generally. The vibe can change nightly.. and not every night is cruisy... BUT... the back patio has things going on a lot of the time. So if you are looking for a bar to meet and socialize.. this place is probably not it. If you are looking for Mr Right now.... there is a good chance you will find him. Oddly enough Monday nights are eh.. great.
