"This iconic Bernal Heights bar is always throwing events. Maybe it's a DJ-and-chef combo day party for moshing and noshing, queer mingling nights, and even group political discussions. Whether you’re here looking to flirt, two-step, or wear something you look good in, all you need to do is check El Rio’s event calendar. With an elevated stage right in the middle of their crowded patio, no matter which day you arrive, there's always an opportunity to make your presence known. Anything from a Patagonia fleece to a cropped tank or a Party City wig Extroverts who like a cheap drink outside" - julia chen 1, patrick wong
