This 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!

Alejandro Franceschi

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!

Sam Gr

Perfect place for Sunday Funday late afternoon dancing and people watching on the balcony overlooking the Castro .

Raymond Ramirez

Food is really good, one of the best margaritas in Castro IMO and also FANTASTIC views on the balcony !

Palm Springs CA

Try Palm Springs inspired drinks and watch a cocktail challenge on May 10 at 7 p.m. as part of the Palm Springs Cocktail Challenge.

I 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

Kyle Minor

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

Sean Howell

Little know fact. The owner of rigazza informed the pizza . It is actually good

Tyler Toler

Watch out for the cover charge . But at least it's spacious and you can easy people people watch from the balcony

Andrew Bristow

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.

Don Otvos

Very supportive of the community by hosting awesome beer busts and other events .

Jessenotpatrick Day

Going for 4$ margaritas is totally worth it. The bartenders and pretty cool too. Attentive.

Spoon Carvalho

Good drinks, fun times. Even good food some of the times.

Donald

In the middle of the Castro . Fun place to go to during pride weekend. They usually do 2 for 1 drinks (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Nice balcony and strong drinks . Unusually sticky floors.

Sundays 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).
