AROUND TOWN - Top 10 San Francisco - page 158

Cafe • 2369 Market Google Map , offering a range of strong drinks accompan-
ied by top 40 mixes to a trendy gay crowd.
Continuing on to Castro Street, take in Harvey Milk Plaza, with its huge rainbow
flag, named after the slain gay leader. On the opposite corner, check out Twin
Peaks • 401 Castro Google Map , the oldest totally “out” gay bar, notable for its
picture windows affording a full view of goings on, both inside and on the street.
Pushing on to No. 429, allow the Castro Theater to capture your attention, one
of the city's most ornate cinema palaces, home to innumerable premieres of gay-
themed films. Farther along at No. 570, Brand X Antiques is a great place to
browse with its eclectic collection of goods, from furniture to homoerotica.
Finally, just up 18th Street at No. 4121 is Badlands , a cruisy pickup scene that
packs them in, especially after 10pm.
