Drink chips are good all the time. If you forget to use them, bring them back for next time!Upvote7DownvoteUpvoted Feb 4
Gsus S.S.June 12, 2023Funny touristic stop for a drink in a typical Castro bar. Respectful and friendly community. Good Jack&Coke with a lemon slice. No food but you can eat sandwiches of the nearby local.

Hornet AppOctober 4, 2013One of our favorite bear/daaddy bars on the planet. If you're not a bear, it's a fun place to come chill and be man handled.Upvote3Downvote
Cut the scene bullshit and get to the bar where the drinks are cold, the men are hot, and if you're lucky, both are strong.Upvote3Downvote
Hit and miss on the types of people here but usually pretty bustling. Especially on underwear night on Mondays.Upvote1Downvote

Jon WinterJanuary 1, 2017Even though they'll tell you the place closes at 2, you'll be kicked out at 1.50 and not allowed to finish your drink. It's pretty pathetic.Upvote1Downvote
Hot daddies, muscle bears, strong drinks and cruisy bathroom. Enjoy!UpvoteDownvote

Great bar if you're looking for a masculine crowd. Lately there has been more "attitude" at this bar, but I still love it. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Best Cruising in the Castro - in the back upstairs!Upvote5Downvote
Jerry CJune 16, 2015Crowded, maybe too crowded, but good old fashioned Folsom St vibes on Castro.UpvoteDownvote
Come here for free gropes. Stand next to the bathroom for maximum effect.Upvote10Downvote
NataliaDecember 20, 2014Matt is the most sexy guy here! Look for him and kiss your neck.Upvote1Downvote
If you're drinking beer, get it at the front bar.... It's never quite cold enough from the back bar.UpvoteDownvote
Todd RezsnyakAugust 1, 2013It's loud and raucous, so if you're into that you should be able to have to a good time.UpvoteDownvote
- If you wanna have a beer and not have a single person come talk to u go to 440 back corner around 7 on Tuesdays. Cheap beer and no creepsUpvoteDownvote
