Lively San Francisco gay bar in the Castro! Huge patio, 2-for-1 happy hour, and a high-energy dance floor. A must on any queer gay map.
Looking for an iconic stop on your San Francisco gay map? Toad Hall Bar is a legendary cornerstone of the Castro district that perfectly blends neighborhood charm with high-octane energy. This premier gay bar is famously known for its connection to LGBTQ+ history—its facade was even restored for the filming of the movie 'Milk'—and its location has long served as a vital hub for the community. Today, Toad Hall Bar remains a top destination for gay men and queer travelers seeking an authentic Castro experience. The venue features a vibrant dance floor where DJs spin high-energy music videos, keeping the party going seven days a week. If you need a break from the dancing, head out to the expansive back patio—one of the largest and most popular in the area—where you can enjoy the city’s legendary 2-for-1 happy hour specials. From rowdy karaoke nights to inclusive Drag Race viewing parties, this LGBTQ+ staple offers a welcoming, 'Cheers'-like atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. With friendly bartenders, strong drinks, and deep roots in the neighborhood, it is an essential stop for anyone exploring the heart of queer San Francisco.
