Experience Midnight Sun in San Francisco! A legendary Castro gay bar with 2-for-1 happy hours, drag shows, and iconic video lounge vibes.
Shining bright in the heart of the Castro for over 50 years, Midnight Sun is a legendary cornerstone of the San Francisco LGBTQ+ scene. As a premier destination on any gay map, this iconic gay bar and video lounge has evolved from a historic windowless hideaway into a vibrant, modern hotspot featuring a stunning street-facing terrace perfect for people-watching. Known for being one of the first video bars in the country, the "Sun" continues to dazzle gay men and the broader queer community with massive screens playing high-energy pop hits and nostalgic clips. If you’re looking for the best deal in the city, their famous 2-for-1 happy hour—consistently voted the best in San Francisco—is a local rite of passage. The energy truly peaks during their diverse weekly events. Whether you're catching "Mahogany Mondays" for RuPaul’s Drag Race viewings, belting out hits during Wednesday night karaoke, or admiring the talented go-go dancers on the weekends, there is never a dull moment. Welcoming a mixed crowd of bears, locals, and travelers alike, Midnight Sun offers an inclusive atmosphere where every visitor feels like part of the family. Stop by this Castro institution and see why it remains a shining star in the city's nightlife.
