fish tank happy hour pool tables pinball drag show on wednesday frozen margaritas great value cute casual good for singles bar friendly staff restrooms well
SFist

With its upstairs pool table and pinball , huge fish tank , and well curated videos, it's a nice place to meet friends, talk, and unwind without being aurally accosted by the latest Mariah Carey song. Read more

Head back to the back, up a couple of steps, and to the left. There you'll find a little spot to sit and have a little privacy to make out! Also, it's next to the women's restroom . *shrug*

One of the Castro's go-to spots for a frozen margarita in a mug — priced two-for-one on certain weeknights — is Moby Dick. Read more

Patrick, the barman is a gem. So friendly and welcoming. Thank you, Patrick, for your generous welcome.

Great floor to ceiling mirrored trough in the men’s urinal.

Maeve Daly

Drag show on Wednesday night, Dick at Night, was awesome!!! Only bearded drag show in San Francisco.

Dale Tegman

Three machines in the bitty back of the bar mean one is a little separated from the action. If you are one who likes to kick and jiggle while you play, be prepared for some gay male attention.

Sabina B.

Forget pool, save your quarters for the pinball machines in the back

Will Swagger

Crowded downstairs - get your drinks and head up to the pool table , always a great bunch of guys up there!

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
