Party Earth Review It’s a party every night at SF Badlands, a Castro institution for young boys who love to dance and older men who aren’t afraid to stare. Heavily discounted Happy Hour specials draw patrons in by the early afternoon, and Sunday’s regular all-you-can drink beer busts even inspire a few uninhibited straight guys to sidle in ... more

Party Earth Review "Leather daddies, bears, and muscle men, oh my!"– and the rainbow-brick road leads them all to Castro 440, one of the few watering holes in the neighborhood that caters specifically to the leather/bondage/kink scene. But while shirtless dudes with chest hair are habitually in attendance, 440’s daily specials and varied ... more

Party Earth Review The servers at AsiaSF have to be absolutely gorgeous, with perfect long legs, ample breasts, and sculpted buns that could crush a coconut. Oh, and they all have to be Asian men. More on that in a second. A favorite venue for boisterous bachelorette parties, it’s not unusual to see large groups of giggling girls strolling ... more

Party Earth Review The smaller and arguably more stylish sister to the SF Badlands club across the street, Toad Hall is popular for both stellar Happy Hour specials and its own less-frenetic dance vibe. Named in homage to a 1970s haunt that helped define the Castro’s early gay scene, the venue caters to a similar crowd of young party types ... more

Party Earth Review Rows of cooing young studs always seem to congregate on the balcony smoking area that overlooks the entrance to The Café, so even before walking in, patrons have already been checked out.

The gay bars of San Francisco run the gamut from gasp-inducing drag divas and gorgeous-gammed girly men to SM lovin' doms, burly bears, and every slice of menfolk in between.
Despite its amphibious name, Toad Hall in Castro is anything but slimy. Clean cut professionals and fresh-faced collegiates head to this bar for cheap daily deals and delectable cocktails, perching themselves on blood-red vinyl couches or spinning atop a few stools at the bar. Dim-lit chandeliers, a magenta water feature, and a few TVs tuned to Top 40 music videos make this laid-back spot ideal for a make-out or a meet-up.
Tail-wagging canines and their men-loving counterparts flock to Stray bar in Bernal Heights for crisp beer amid a sea of shaggy pals curled up around the bar stools. Catering to sports lovers, Stray attracts a rowdy and friendly group of revelers who gather for the game, grab a quick game of pool, or take a gander at the abstract paintings that don the crimson walls.
Boasting vintage porn, underpants-clad dancers, and a slew of preppy post grads gawking and gyrating on the dance floor, The Café is a bawdy bar with a triangular dance floor, a smoking balcony, and a frat-house feel that offers a boogy-inducing vibe.
San Francisco gay bars are some of the best, serving up a saucy slice of life just the way you want it – spicy, sweet, salty, or downright sinful.
