"The Financial District is lucky to have Ginger’s. Not only is it the only gay bar in the neighborhood, it's the only bar in the area where you can stop by for a watermelon gimlet, play a round of pool, and then gather up the courage to sing a ballad in front of a crowd. The roomy photobooth has hosted the beginnings of at least a few new friendships, and everyone looks good (or equally bad) under the bar's neon lights. Ginger’s, unlike the bars and clubs in the Castro, is usually not crowded, so it’s a great pick for a solitary drink or when you need a quieter night out with a group of friendly strangers. Be sure to check out their Instagram for updates on events like drag shows, food pop-ups, and other reasons to stick around the area once the offices let out." - Patrick Wong
