"Badlands, a Castro District gay bar that’s served sweaty crowds for decades, and Anchor & Hope, a SoMa seafood spot from the folks behind once-buzzy spots like Salt House and Town Hall. Meanwhile, in the Castro, 18th Street nightclub Badlands has announced that it will not reopen when bars without food are allowed to do so, SFist was the first to report. The bar, which began as a brunch and dinner spot in 1975, was transformed into a dance club in 2000 by new owner Les Natali, a prolific Castro property-and-business owner who, for decades, has faced allegations of racial intolerance and discrimination, the Bay Area Reporter reports." - Eve Batey
