"With the only second-story terrace in the Castro, the Lookout is popular with smokers and those who like to sip a drink while looking down on passersby. It’s also a dance bar with a tiny dance floor and a big rectangle of a bar perfect for taking twirls ‘round the room. The Lookout’s busiest day is typically Sunday, and for Pride weekend they’ll also be doing a Monday “recovery” party for everyone who took the day off. Saturday’s dance party is called Bounce, and there’s also a drag brunch on Saturday hosted by Carnie Asada — yes this place serves food, too." - Jay C. Barmann
