GAY AND LESBIAN VENUES
1. THE MIDNIGHT SUN
This popular, posy video bar fills up quickly after office hours and stays that way until
the wee hours. Mostly good-looking 20- and 30-somethings, it's more about being ad-
mired than making connections here, so it's best to go with a friend or two, have a
drink, and then move on to some livelier venue. The videos are a mix of music clips
and TV sitcoms.

2. MOBY DICK
This old-time Castro hangout attracts a more mature crowd. It's generally a bunch of
regulars getting together for pinball or pool. The windows are big, so you can keep
track of what's going down on the street. The music is largely 1980s retro that sets a
fun-loving tone.

3. TWIN PEAKS
Conveniently located on the corner of Market Street, this legendary and distinctive
tavern offers one of the best views of the Castro, whether by day or night. The interior
is an inviting, pillowed triangular space with plate-glass windows.

4. EAGLE SF
Bikers and leather boys still rule at this venerable SoMa dive. Come here to revel in
the beer-busting, testosterone-filled atmosphere. The back patio gets going on Sunday
afternoons, and Thursdays feature performances by local bands.
