Beers and Ales

Local breweries abound in the Bay Area, such as Anchor Steam Beer (see Potrero Hill).
Bohemia Bar and Bistro

This enormous, bi-level joint has pool tables, ping-pong, a small dance floor, and a chill-out room upstairs with skylights and windows overlooking the street. The music can vary widely, depending on the DJ, from house to top-40, or you can put your money in one of the jukeboxes.
Bubble Lounge

A champagne bar with room after room of subdued lighting and cozy corners.
Bubble Lounge

Right in historic Jackson Square, this very upscale, multi-roomed champagne bar features over 300 bubblies on its list. The main room is very beautiful, in a traditionally clubby sort of way.
Cabernet Sauvignon

This full-bodied red, with overtones of blackcurrant, is a Bay Area favorite. Try the Robert Mondavi Winery.
Café

Something – and somebody – for everybody here at this camp, cruisy Castro old-timer that attracts gays, lesbians, and straights in equal doses. The outdoor balcony is great for people-watching.
Café Flore

Not just a daytime cruising and coffee venue, but also by night a hopping spot. Lots of gay party people meet here first before heading out for the really late-night dancing, dark-room clubbing, and what-not that goes on all around the area.
Caffè Roma

You’re as likely to hear Italian here as you are English, not only from the staff but from the patrons. A friendly atmosphere in which to enjoy an espresso and eye passers-by.
Caffè Trieste

One of the most authentic cafés in town, rich with arty nonchalance.
Cat Club

Crowded, loud, trashy – just what you’re looking for in a super-popular and stylish SoMa dance club. Wednesday is Bondage-a-Go-Go night, Thursday features 80s hits.
