The Edge

I have not been to a lot of bars in the Castro but by far, hands down, this one is my favorite. The music is always so fresh (and no endless jungle remixes) plus the atmosphere is consistently fun and lively. You wind up sitting next to someone and strangers actually talk to each other! My only note is that it would be perfect if there were enough space for dancing.

Erick the bartender that was serving on the right end of the well on 10/21/2025 was EXTREMELY rude. I was waiting for a friend, SOBER as a whistle, whulst thinking about a couple of things around 10:20pm. Amongst thinking of things and waiting for friends, Erick approached me in a forceful, agressive and unpleasant manner. He asked me if I was buying drinks and when I told him no I was waiting for friends he told me it looked like I was sleeping and kicked me out. This was one of the first times ive been to The Edge and definetly the last. Will be speaking to higher managment ASAP

The drinks are inexpensive and stuh-rong. Most of the bartenders are nice, kind and attentive. I love Musical Mondays, but more than that I love going to a place that fills like a social pub for queers like me. At so many of the bars I used to patronize it feels like I've aged out. At the Edge it doesn't matter how old or young, skinny or fat, butch or femme. It's a neighborhood watering hole for everybody!

Visited quite a few times. This bar is Not like a lot of other gay bars in San Francisco that I have gone too that are dark and dingy, filthy atmosphere. This bar is Very up market crowd. Great feel, Safe feel very excepting. Transgender safe space. Warm comfortable bar staff and patrons. Definitely will return further.

Beautiful show on Thursday but the bar was giving us negativity vibes, they refused to give us a 3rd shot because it was within less than 2 hours. It was unnecessary, we were lit and it was our first spot, we werent even drunk. So annoying

Damn! The drinks at The Edge pack a punch, and you get your money’s worth. This place is hopping—it’s always got a great crowd and a lively vibe on most evenings. Every time I’ve been, I’ve felt completely welcomed and safe, which is exactly what you want in a bar. The Edge is becoming a go-to spot in the Castro, and it’s absolutely on the list for my next visit to San Francisco. Highly recommend if you're looking for strong drinks, good times, and an inclusive atmosphere!

Refused entry here because I walked past "security". I’m a 50+ man who didn’t initially show an ID. When I did, he refused to let me enter. How does this place stay in business?
