    Been here pre and now post plandemic. Nothing changed, this place is back. Was here tonight for Wrestle Mania, pizza and booze. $5 well rum and cokes for 3 hours. There are no pickup bars in SF anymore, but met some old friends and enjoyed my time. It's a dark dive bar, but the decor is original art. The dragon on the ceiling been for the for 20 years, not sure how far it goes back. I bet the decor is older than I am. The bar tender is nice and the clientele are older men, look rough but nice once you get conversing with them.

    Was recommended to check this place out by a bartender of another bar. Hole in the wall had a cheap $2 drink special. Great service and loved the vibe of the place.

    My vehicle was being repaired next door. I just wanted a cup of coffee. This place was right next door! Place is a bar, but they accommodated me with a fresh batch of coffee. It was good too! Staff & patrons were cordial as well!

    The best, bar none!! Unless there is a fundraiser or party somewhere, it is the only bar I go to. Some of my best old friends are there. They stream their music on their website as well - it's mostly great! I feel welcome and at home there. I do not understand James Cottle's post, there are no pricey drinks, no cover charge, and most of the people are over 40.

    The best bar in San Francisco, maybe the world. Even the gay capitol of the world [perhaps or maybe Amsterdam], Berlin, has some bars that are similar, but not quite up to this snuff. Best music, friendliest crowd and bartenders that are all different and yet share a wonderful human quality.

    I'm a little pacific islander boy with a smooth chest and little body odor, but this SOMA bear staple is my favorite bar in the city. Stiff pours, a chill vibe, and the gaudiest decorations you've ever seen. It's somehow over-the-top and understated at the same time. No matter the night of the week, I know I'll have a good time here.

    Once upon a time in Santa Clara County on a warm hot eveni went to the city cool off and stumbled over the hole in the wall and it was lots of of naked men running around in the back and chewing all kinds of wild things and it was a very interesting bar so come on by and take a chance on the wild side of life The whole the wall the wildest bar I've seen in San Francisco in years Local man makes a good

    The best bar in SF. Great music, great people and the best bartenders in the SOMA. Probably the closest thing you will find where men can hang out exclusively with men - well about 90% of the time but these days that's saying a lot. It's awesome!

    I was visiting from out of town and stopped in to have a beer. I felt out of place from the moment i walked in.The bartender working Tuesday night was kinda rude unless you're a regular at the bar. I'm not a bear, doesn't mean I should be treated differently.

    The island of misfit toys meets vintage grunge with a motocycle club built in. Not the place to break in your new white tennis sneakers. No judgements otherwise. Stays within the parameters of decency, but just barely and not during festival-time. Great artistic application to the myriad lights and mobiles above in the high ceiling. Rarely dull.

    The best old school gay dive bar around! Bartenders are awesome, music is great, and love the atmosphere.

    Amazing bar with the super charmingly professional bartender-Warren! Fantastic atmosphere and so handsome top looking guys👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • 5/5 David L. 4 years ago on Google
    This has become my favorite bar in the city to drop by , play pool, be completely yourself and meet an eclectic mix of friendly people with no attitude & very fun atmosphere with cool lights , an artists creation of the universe and so much more. In small package . Sort of a “gay man cave on Folsom”

  • 5/5 Josh G. 5 years ago on Google
    This is such a great bar. Cash only but fair pricing. Bartenders are friendly and so is the vibe. As someone that doesn't normally even go to bars, I'd definitely be a regular if I was here any longer.

  • 5/5 Alex 6 months ago on Google
    Really cool and easy going spot. I'd make it my regular spot if I was living in SF. Beer price is very reasonable.

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 5 years ago on Google
    I love their menu options. The brekky smoothie is delicious, the waffle (formerly French toast) option is very creative with the ricotta on top. There's not as much consistency in the eggs or bacon, but I've generally enjoyed my experience there. The wait can be long on weekends, but usually is shorter than what they quote when they take your name down.

    The decor, the people, and the music made this a wonderful spot to end my night!!! Great energy!!
