Really chill bar with a really nice outdoor seating in the back. It's a smoking area so you may want to avoid it if you're sensitive to smoke. I liked the vibe of the outdoor seating, felt like a communal open space. There was a dog.yhere named Noodle which essentially immediately made the bar amazing. He was a service dog, but he was open to pets so it's chill.

A favorite bar and really the only gay dive bar in the Duboce neighborhood as a cherished local haunt. They have ample outdoor space, a pool table, and a killer happy hour.

Fun neighborhood gay bar with a friendly crowd, and lots of beers on tap, a mixture of domestic and foreign. Cute little patio in the back with a fountain. Beers are inexpensive.

Casual gay bar in the Castro. During COVID their full patio is open. You can order food from Red Jade and Il Casaro but you no longer have to. The staff is friendly and takes COVID precautions seriously. The patio is well decorated and has a water feature. They have an extensive bar and one of the largest draft beer options in the Castro. They also have a cocktail menu.

Stopped in a couple of Sundays ago. Early afternoon. I hadn’t been there since ‘97. Johnny the bartender was friendly and gracious. He allowed me to bring in my beagle, Lucy. Johnny helped me catch up on some folks I knew in the ‘90s. The place was as friendly as I remembered it. Great job, Pilsner Inn!!

Cool place, clean. Wasn't too busy. Prices of spirits are very good. Only thing was I asked for one brand of vodka in my drink and the bartender gave me a different brand which cost $1 more. Could have been an honest mistake - can't say for sure, but it's not a good look.
