Twin Peaks Tavern

Top choice in San Francisco


The vintage rainbow neon sign points the way to a local landmark – Twin Peaks was the world's first gay bar with windows open to the street. If you're not here for the Castro's best people-watching, cozy up to the Victorian carved-wood bar for cocktails and conviviality, or grab a back booth to discuss movies at the Castro over wine by the glass.

Ideal for a tête-à-tête after a film, or for cards, Yahtzee or backgammon (BYO).
