Top 10 Bars and Clubs
-
1. Lucky 13
A chill-out punk bar where you can sport your new tattoo to an admiring audience. The jukebox is full of indie alternative sounds.
-
2. DNA Lounge
The recent return of this clubbers’ favorite brings with it a juiced-up sound system, five bar areas, and a bigger dance floor. Webcasts of live concerts and DJ events, too.
-
3. Destino
Traditional Spanish and South American music and dancing, with all the spirit that goes with it. Great drinks and Latino food, too.
-
4. The Bar on Castro
A friendly gay mix of young and old make this dark, very central bar one of the most popular on the street. It’s only a bar – no food or music – and as such a great place to begin your evening’s revelries.
-
5. Azie
East meets West here, as the feng shui interior (tilted mirrors over the bar for watching your back), sake martinis, and “nine bites” nibbles would confirm.
-
6. Kate O’Brien’s
SoMa Irish all the way, from Guinness to fish ’n’ chips. The pub is large, the regulars relaxed and satisfied – it’s a great place to kick back after a busy day.
-
7. Odeon
Quirky and popular with local artists, the jukebox is filled only with tunes by local talent, and events tend toward things like magic tricks.
-
8. Amber
A place to mellow out on astrological cocktails, one specially concocted for each sign. It’s the Age of Aquarius here, with the midnight blue and purple velvet decor, complete with starry galaxies.
-
9. Rawhide II
Once catering to Country & Western loving males, it’s now house music, but still pretty gay. The decor remains Wild West with a great patio.
-
10. Lit
Proving there’s something for everyone South of Market, the interior of this ornate cocktail lounge is replicated Victorian-era style. Music includes house and techno.
