Happy Hour changes daily! Great priced drinks, good music, and a huge patio that you can smoke on! Staff is super friendly and attractive :)- This is where the local gays hangout. Usually cheap to no cover, beer bust on the weekends and events like karaoke or tv watching get together on the week days.Upvoted Feb 11
- Ken BaldwinMarch 31, 2014they play hip hop and r&B.. if you are drunk in the castro its a fun place to check out. definitely don't plan a night around this place.
Best music in the Castro. Good happy hour. I love all the bartenders here. So friendly and sweet!
Byron WilkesFebruary 27, 2016Note: cash only! But the people inside is why you wanna come here. The back patio is the shizz!!!
Kenneth GarciaNovember 5, 2018Sunday night karaoke at 8ish, very chill. Good atmosphere, if at least for a stop before heading to the next stop.
Tyler TolerJanuary 30, 2019Bigger but weird atmosphere most of the time. Has a nice patio in the back but you still can barely hear yourself think.
Mike DoriaAugust 9, 2014Ready to sing something pretty? Karaoke starts at 9pm & fills up quickly. Put your song in first, then warm up the pipes.
Cash only! Don't forget or you'll get grouchy service. Otherwise, fun place to dance!
Steve, Irene and all the other bartenders & staff are what make this place a favorite. Oh and expertly made cocktails are a big plus also!
This bar has turned out to be one of my favs in SF. It has a modern feel with a casual, friendly crowd. Read more
Stick to well or Svedka and you'll drink your a*s into oblivion quickly... for less than your dinner likely cost ... liquid diet anyone? ;)
As the Hot Mess Ambassador for Castro, I must recommend this establishment as it has drinks that are as strong as they are cheap.- Steve on the front bar. Irene on the patio bar. All is right in the world.
Steve. the bartender, is the coolest. Friendly and makes the best drinks!
Vanessa NorwoodJanuary 5, 2013Make sure you bring sanitation wipes to clean the unisex bathroom because twice in an hour I had to clean clean piss off the toilet seat!
Now this is where you come for Castro style cocktails!
Usually go there after work on Friday nights. They have a great happy hour that has 2 for 1 mixed drinks. They make 'em strong too. Yipee!
Check out the back for some fresh air and a great place to chat and drink with friends.
Dale TegmanJune 5, 2012The plain but lively "Pendulum" was the only bar geared toward black gay men in SF. It was purchased by a notoriously racist owner of block neighbor "Badlands." There were protests and even lawsuits!
- Happy Hour 2-for-1: the crowd seems to be more local than badlands.
Used to take credit cards. Now they're saying they don't and never did. The bartenders have all been coached to say that "Every bar in this neighborhood is cash only."- They give you a piece of paper that tells you to coat check your belongings, but they don't have a coat check. If that's not shady, I'm the Pope.
ManhuntAugust 25, 2011At 4:30, 2 for 1 drinks start. Awesome value, but have a designated drunk wrangler.
The new bathroom is open (again), this time for good. Looks great,
Nick StarrJanuary 6, 2011***Happy Hour Change*** It is now buy one get a 2nd for $1. Same for Badlands
Dance here to some remixes, mostly Top 40. Especially good if the lines at Badlands are ridiculously long.
- Oh, and I concur that the mayor is a douche... yay for Timothy beating me to it ;)

"Boy Bar on Friday Nights is my favorite night to go - obvs. The bartenders on the upper level tend to be the quickest at serving drinks, and the guys up here are [generally] good people."
Andrew Cerda - 5.9
"Great happy hour. Two for one of any mixed drink of your choice. They also always have good music later at night!"
