Wild Side West

I am loathe to make a poor review of a lesbian bar as there are so preciously few, but the no laptop at the bar policy is cis-hetty, ableist, and out of touch. I tipped the bartender who agreed it was unnecessary very well, but, being shuffled away to a corner, I spoke to fewer people, bought fewer drinks, and spent less time than I would have otherwise. It's like, if you're neurotypical, you're allowed at the bar to make friends and do what you want, but if you're autistic and need a social crutch, there's a lonely table way off in a dark corner they'd much rather you sit at. It's not even as if laptops at the bar inhibit socialization, as the other bartender had to interrupt me talking with another patron over what I was working on to inform me I had to move. For a place that's supposed to be defined by its inclusivity, this was a remarkably unwelcomed experience. I sincerely hope other lesbian bars aren't like this.

A San Francisco legacy business; old school lgbt hangout with plenty of TVs to watch Niners and Warriors games. The decor is full of beautiful nostalgia; one of the TVs is dedicated to either Xena or some hilarious b-movie with Bigfoot. Excellent drinks (amazing margaritas and whiskey sours) and top class service. Love this place; A+++ ♥️

Had a fantastic time! Good drinks, great conversation, best lgbtq+ bar we visited on our trip! Bartender Cheryl was fantastic. Waltz through the back gardens, enjoy the ambiance, would visit again!

I've lived in the neighborhood for years and this was my first time visiting. Now it's my favorite new bar! The outdoor garden seating is probably the best I've hung out in the whole city. They've created little seating areas for people to group themselves in so there's nice separation from one another. Great drink selections and you're supporting a local business owner. Super supportive of the LGBTQIA community which is great for any establishment.

Lovely lesbian and everyone bar! Had a delightful time catching a drink and watching a few old movies. They do play sports when a good game is on! Plus they have a pool table and a neat outside chill spot! If you're in the area, stop in!

Fun, cute place! Classic dive bar vibes inside and a huge outdoor garden area with lots of little nooks with seating for different size groups that create some privacy. Beautiful space to hang out.

Great stop when we are on Cortland. The bartender was nice. There were TVs playing the warriors game. During half time, we went to the back patio that also has a set of stairs leading to a garden. The garden is divided into more intimate sections with an eclectic collection of benches and tables.
