The Cinch Saloon

The sign said 'saloon' so I ambled in and ordered a beer. I quickly realized this wasn't your ordinary western saloon. It was a bunch of cool friendly people who made me feel welcome. I think we stayed talking for 2 hrs. Great place.

I love this charming gay bar in Nob Hill and had a wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. The vibe is relaxed, with a delightful old bar feel that invites you to settle in and enjoy. The decor is quite unique, adding to the allure of the place. Highly recommend for a laid-back night out in a friendly environment!

Love the interior it's excellently decorated. And everyone is so friendly. Drinks and service are great

Honestly this place was a total vibe. I didn’t have much time in San Francisco and honestly didn’t fancy trekking all the way out to the Castro area. Someone recommended this place to me and it didn’t disappoint. We had so much fun. The service was professional but approachable. Couple of highlights when they randomly played Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas in the middle of august lol. Everyone started singing along. Then a couple of patrons and bartenders had a competition to see who could fit the long balloons further down their throat lol! It was all in good jest. My friend said his vodka cranberry was strong so you know you were getting a strong pour . Super fun place i would highly recommend.

Nice music, cool wall arts. Good vibe in general. Wish they took cash.

Wasn’t served because I was wearing a Palestinian scarf. one of the servers didn’t appear to like what I was wearing, and repeatedly ignored us and kept serving others before us. At first we didn’t think anything of it, but it was made very clear he was ignoring us. we’re in San Francisco out of all places and this type of behavior is shameful. not to mention, we asked another one of the other servers if he could serve us and he told us that he wasn’t serving drinks…the employees are frankly lazy and unprofessional…what kind of service and hospitality is this? is this how treat queer Palestinians and BIPOC? 🙁 not even angry, just extremely disappointed. Do not support this place.

Great small neighborhood bar. Friendly staff and strong drinks. Gotta love Star Wars!
