Twin Peaks is the best place to sit in the window, sip an Irish Coffee and watch the colors stroll by. The cocktails inside the Glass Coffin , as it is affectionately known, are as stiff as ever. Read more

Definitely old school, but super friendly bartenders and clientele. Come for a good drink and a good conversation.

Foursquare City Guide

Twin Peaks Tavern's floor to ceiling windows display all of the frivolities and fun happening inside. Rather than create another hideaway, the owners flaunted their pride and that of their patrons.

Such a cool, old spot. Try to get a seat by the window so you can people watch

Some call this an elephant's graveyard, but it's not really true! Great views out of the large windows and right across from the Castro Muni Metro. Best time to go is during a sunny afternoon.

The window of the ladies room (upstairs) is next to the exhaust fan for Hot Cookie and makes it the best smelling bathroom in the city !

If San Francisco is where gay go to die, this is where they are put on display in "the glass coffin "... saying that, the big windows are perfect for people watching . MAD people watching .

CaliGirl Sava

a well-known cult place for gay population. they treat you well no matter what you are. You will see gay couples young and old hugging and kissing...all colors of rainbow in one place????????????????????

Fun place to meet up with friends to start off weekend binge.

One of the few Castro bars where one can have a drink without one's eardrums exploding; sightseeing the fellow freaks with the glass walls !

Vlad Saveluc

One of the first bars in Castro. Pretty chill inside. Had a mule and it wasn't that good. But cool bar overall. Worth trying

George Saint-George

Make sure to enjoy a hot buttered rum ! Only place in the Castro to enjoy one, and only during the holiday season!

The bartenders do a great job. I'm partial to Big Daddy brew and they always poor with a smile. Great group to chat with but keep in mind most are men on a mission! Have fun! - Tom A
