We went to Harvey's this weekend and within 5 minutes made a new friend that was great to hang out with and just have casual conversation. No attitude, casual atmosphere. Not focused on the party, this is a great casual place to be with your friends.
A tribute to the man!
Harvey's is such a comfortable bar. It is simple and roomy - even when it is busy, you do not feel particularly overcrowded. Barmen are great and love to have fun. Just a great social place that honors such a deserving gay hero.
fun place
Very fun place to go. Good food and also very good service. One of the best restaurants in San Francisco.
Historic intersection, middling food
order something simple, including a draft beer, sit in a window, and watch the procession of queer humanity saunter by. every day is pride at this all-american crossroad
