20 Essential LGBTQ Bars in San Francisco and the East Bay
"Open since April 2021, Que Rico is one of a number of new-school East Bay queer bars and nightclubs. Owner Valentino Carrillo says he aims to cater to both the queer and Latino or Latinx communities by making Que Rico a safe space for those at the beginning of their identity exploration and for those who have been out for years. Oftentimes the party spills out onto the rainbow-lit parklet, where patrons can enjoy happy hour specials, Sunday brunch, or perhaps a a Beyonce tribute show. Food comes from Carrillo’s successful East Oakland restaurant La Frontera Mexican Restaurant, known for serving golden quesabirria tacos stuffed with cheese and braised beef." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
