    Best Castro bar for having a conversation. Order the large margarita and head to the back patio.

    Awesome... AWESOME bartenders. Sometimes it's a "mixed" crowd, but the usual suspects are always a good time. Love this bar.

    Quickly became one of the most expensive bars in The Castro when they raised prices. Happy Hour is decent price and the locals are friendly.
