    Happy Hour here runs late and hard, the Thursday and especially Friday afterwork scene 6pm-8.30pm is intense. The drinks are insanely cheap so hope you make it out of this place standing up.

    Come before 8.30pm and enjoy two for one drinks. There is always an after-work crowd that leaves early. Then a second crowd arrives later. What fun! It is like visiting two bars in one night. Read more

    Honestly you should go anywhere else, pick pockets, rude patrons, and has been needing a remodel for 10 years. The only saving grace is the pop music, cheap drinks, and generally nice staff

    Drinks okay. Better music and company than in other gay clubs. Otherwise, all the same American thing: people tipsy as early as 10pm, no cosy atmosphere (lights on in a club) and super early closing.

    Avoid the Friday and Saturday night crowds. Come before 9pm for 2 for 1 happy hour, or Thursday or Sunday night.

    Great bar with a fantastic happy hour. 2 for 1 drinks? Can't beat that! They play fun pop/dance music, so you can get your groove on here after shooting back a few.

    A well-informed source tells us that this is the most popular bar in the Castro. It must be for a good reason!

    This place is full of thieves! It's true. They even hand out flyers warning you when you enter. We did the mistake of not taking those seriously. My friend got pick pocketed!
