Funny 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.

Joey W

Drink chips are good all the time. If you forget to use them, bring them back for next time!

Keith Smith

A bit more butch, a bit more daddy-like, and bit rougher than the Edge....Yeah!!

Matt Lopez

always a fun time here with friends... the DJ on Sat night plays great music and is super cute as well . Of course, I can't forget to mention DJ Ruben , always great music from him as well ... and so e

Tom A. said the bartender poors with a smile. Wrong! He POURS with a smile! Learn how to spell. PLEASE!

Ken Baldwin

this is the only bear bar in the castro - just bearded fellows and dance music . you'll see some cute guys there. cool hipsters and daddies

Hornet App

One 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.

Jeff R

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.

Tyler Toler

Hit and miss on the types of people here but usually pretty bustling. Especially on underwear night on Mondays.

William Diaz

Two for one drink specials are tokens good for drinks any other time of the day.

Kenley Gaffke

Great bartenders ! Especially Tony and Claudio.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Friendly people and a mixed crowd.

Jon Winter

Even 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.

Jipsta

Hot daddies, muscle bears, strong drinks and cruisy bathroom . Enjoy!

Justin Icard

Go Monday night and strip down to your undies! Lots of hot men!

Jeff Mojica

Come here for free gropes. Stand next to the bathroom for maximum effect.

Keenan Patterson

Gets wayyyyyyy too hot in here most nights. Invest in some fans!

Tyler Clark

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 more

John W

One of the last real gay bars (read: fewer screechy, straight girls) left in the Castro.

Will Swagger

Best Cruising in the Castro - in the back upstairs!

Tim Egan

Check out the underwear night on Thursdays

Jerry C

Crowded , maybe too crowded , but good old fashioned Folsom St vibes on Castro.

Natalia

Matt is the most sexy guy here! Look for him and kiss your neck.

Todd Rezsnyak

It's loud and raucous, so if you're into that you should be able to have to a good time.

PJ Ohm

If you're drinking beer , get it at the front bar .... It's never quite cold enough from the back bar .

Brett Bertolino

The mirror just above the trough is a nice touch...

Jim McClure

Parking your ass at the top of the stairs is dangerous and proves you are a moron.

Brandon Colombo

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 creeps

Nick Starr

$2 Miller Lite drafts all the time. Cheapest beer in The Castro

Alejandro Villa Renteria

Very cozy and nice music

Heléne Björkman

Great bar cheap beer

Chris Colman

You know that scene in Selena where that poor Mexican woman gets crushed up against that chain-link fence at the crowded concert ? That's how I feel here. I'm that poor Mexican woman.

Paul Prosseda

Underwear night is Monday night. NOT. Thursday.

Wednesday Nights are the busiest in the Castro because of their 2 for 1 drinks
