"Are you a daddy? Do you aspire to be? Are you looking for one? Do you like to drink beer in the company of daddies? The bar that actually used to be called Daddy’s draws a largely bearded clientele for whom cargo shorts and tattooed forearms are the norm. Beery and friendly, 440 has plenty of shirtless go-go boys and an underwear night on Mondays, but by opening at noon it’s also the spot for the funemployed set to day-drink margaritas. If you’ve hung out in the Castro long enough, your coin jar has probably accumulated more than a few drink tokens from here, too." - ricky rodriguez, peter astrid kane
