Downtown : Polk Street

No one has rated this yet.

Historically, the southern part of this street, known as “Polk Gulch,” was San Francisco’s first openly gay district, before the rise of the Castro in the 1970s (see Castro District). Since then it has grown shabbier, although it still attracts plenty of younger gays to its clubs, bars, and shops. At the other end, just down from Russian Hill, Polk Street is one of the city’s shopping and dining lures, with a host of fine choices to tempt the eyes and palates of a discerning clientele.
