A Bar For Everyone

Low-key atmosphere where everyone can show up and enjoy a drink alone or with friends. Not sure if he still works there, but one of the bartenders is absolutely gorgeous!!

Hideout in the Castro

So this has got to be my favorite bar in the Castro. It's a little off the beaten path, and when you get there you'll see what I mean. It's a cozy place, and they treat their customers well. Fun jukebox with lots of random music, and a couple of TV screens....one of the bartenders brings in some really fun old TV shows, I sat through a couple episodes of Charlie's Angels and it was a blast lessening to everyone hoot and holler at the screen. Cold beer, attentive and friendly bartender, and you don't get jostled or judged. Good times for all.

great little spot

Smart and quiet when that is what you are looking for. Great for watching football in a mixed crowd. Super nice owners.

Even a real juke box!

Wandered in on a Thursday afternoon and immediately felt at home in this small, friendly bar reminiscent of my old hangout in Seattle. The crowd was chatty and the day bartender, Kevin, was delightful. Quite possibly my new favorite bar in the Castro.
