The bars are therefore more social places than anything else.Īlso, 95% of the time no one will try to pick you up at a bar unless you make good eye contact with them. Otherwise, gays bars aren't much different than straight bars (except who is kissing who and what might be playing on the TVs.) Outside of Friday and Saturday nights, most of the patrons are locals who know they can pick someone up anytime using an app. And some of the Castro bars can get that way late on Friday and Saturday nights. Some of the South of Market bars can be raunchy.
