Great Gay, Lesbian, and LGBTQ Bars in the San Francisco-Bay Area | Eater SF

"The grandaddy (great aunt?) of queer bars in the Tenderloin, Aunt Charlie’s plays host to a rotating cast of hip kids and neighborhood bar flys, as well as tourists from all over who catch wind of the rag-tag and very old-school weekend drag show, the Hot Boxxx Girls. Thursday nights are for disco, specifically the vintage DJ stylings of Bus Station John’s Tubesteak Connection, which still draws a young and cruisy crowd. It’s a well-worn place that feels authentically San Francisco, and like a window into the gay dive bars that used to dot every neighborhood in the city but are now mostly gone. The drinks here, given the pedigree and likely cheap rent, are some of the cheapest in town." - Paolo Bicchieri
