    An old standard in SF gay bars. Strong cocktails, pool, an outdoor area until 10, and my favorite lion picture on the wall... 😉

    Warm + friendly bartenders, hot men with great asses prancing + preening on a TV screen, and a laid back vibe makes this one of my favorite SF stops for the curious or just plain thirsty.

    I'm straight, but this is hands down my favorite bar in San Francisco. I've been here every visit and it never disappoints.

    Drinks are always cheap and strong, plus you're at one of the oldest gay bars in SF #WinsAllAround

    Charlie Horse hasn't actually happened here since spring of 2010 but its still a really fun place. I lived in SF two months in 2010 and went here often. Smoking patio out back!

    When @ The Cinch, you like banging balls, make sure you put a buck into the pool tables(2) and grab a stick, and bust um up !

    Not shy with their drinks - more vodka than lemonade. :)

    Incredibly racist. Avoid this place unless you like racial slurs from bad bartenders.
