An old standard in SF gay bars. Strong cocktails, pool, an outdoor area until 10, and my favorite lion picture on the wall... 😉
- Asha ServiaDecember 4, 2010Warm + friendly bartenders, hot men with great asses prancing + preening on a TV screen, and a laid back vibe makes this one of my favorite SF stops for the curious or just plain thirsty.
Cody MullinsApril 27, 2013I'm straight, but this is hands down my favorite bar in San Francisco. I've been here every visit and it never disappoints.
Megan DennistonNovember 7, 2015Amazing bartenders and they gave us free copper mugs for drinking Moscow mules! Fantastic!
Duane OriarteSeptember 10, 2013When @ The Cinch, you like banging balls, make sure you put a buck into the pool tables(2) and grab a stick, and bust um up !- Ryan ThompsonMarch 19, 2011Charlie Horse hasn't actually happened here since spring of 2010 but its still a really fun place. I lived in SF two months in 2010 and went here often. Smoking patio out back!
Drinks are always cheap and strong, plus you're at one of the oldest gay bars in SF #WinsAllAround- The last of a great neighborhood of queer bars. Show your love and tip the staff!
Ian MuligMay 28, 2012From out of town, thought this was one of the sweetest bars I hit while visiting, staff is too adorable
freddy bartends on Friday night for Charliehorse, he's a stone cold fox!!!
JadéAugust 29, 2010strongest Bloody Mary ever.. let's just say it looks like water with a hint of red
Philip ThomasJune 22, 2014Incredibly racist. Avoid this place unless you like racial slurs from bad bartenders.
