    The drinks are stiff, and the patio can be either pleasant or crowded. In short, it makes for a perfect stopping off point on the way back from a park day, or on a rare warm evening. Read more

    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.

    Ask for a simple cocktail in a TALL glass. You won’t be disappointed by the results.

    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.
