David RuizMay 11, 2012This is without a doubt a gay bar. However if that doesn't bother you it has one of the best people watching/ drinking/ outside views in SF hands down!
Monday is not so busy, so locals and Karaoke buffs that don't want to wait 2 hours to sing ONE song at The Mint, can chill here. All are welcome! Karaoke means NEVER having to say you're sorry!- Perfect place for Sunday Funday late afternoon dancing and people watching on the balcony overlooking the Castro.Upvoted Sep 13
- Food is really good, one of the best margaritas in Castro IMO and also FANTASTIC views on the balcony!
Palm Springs CAMay 4, 2012Try Palm Springs inspired drinks and watch a cocktail challenge on May 10 at 7 p.m. as part of the Palm Springs Cocktail Challenge.
Blayne DouglasDecember 5, 2010I got so wasted on one screwdriver. I'm not very tolerant... Had a great time at the Lookout, though! This is one of my favorite hangs if I do go drinking... it's very "southern veranda" with it's vie
It's right there in the name: this bar has a commanding view of a nice busy Castro intersecton. Very fun on big weekend afternoons like Pride, Folsom St., Castro St. Fair, Halloween, etc. Read more
Little know fact. The owner of rigazza informed the pizza. It is actually good
Watch out for the cover charge. But at least it's spacious and you can easy people people watch from the balcony
Very supportive of the community by hosting awesome beer busts and other events.
Only good for people watching. When it gets too packed you can't find a spot anywhere, and when it's dead it's boring.
Going for 4$ margaritas is totally worth it. The bartenders and pretty cool too. Attentive.
Good drinks, fun times. Even good food some of the times.
Take your [super strong] drink to the balcony indulge in some worthwhile people watching. #WhenInTheCastro
ManhuntSeptember 7, 2011Sundays is Jock, hence - hot jocks (Manhunt is usually part of the event). Awesome views, and delicious cocktails.
Free chicken wings from 6 - something on Friday. Cover yourself in BBQ sauce and make out with a stranger.
The "view" is of traffic on Market. Very weho vibe (if that's what you're looking for).
These are the second best buffalo wings in the city! Do not miss them!!
DJ Chi Chi LaRue spins here once a month for POPPERS. Great mix of current and past pop music hits!
Thomas OuttMay 4, 2014If you leave a FULL drum unattended, even for a few seconds, it will be stolen.- LIke the space, most of the staff are great but I find drinks a bit pricey and weak.
Michael and Michael are such great bartenders. Sunday afternoons are the best at the Lookout!
- Some Douche Bags hang out here however most everyone is cool, the views are great and the alcohol is deeeelish!!!!
Great place to host events they have a new menu and awesome pizzas =)
Nathan SmithMarch 20, 2009Go to the SF Fog Rugby Club beer bust tonight after work. Pay $8. Drink as much free beer as possible. Stumble around the Castro.
Brain Farts Trivia with Pollo del Mar is the best trivia night in town!
