The 19 Best Gay & LGBTQ+ Bars In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Is it a gay bar? Is it an Irish bar? Well, it’s neither and both: a majority Irish-owned, majority LGBTQ-owned venue named for a gay Irish humanitarian. But more importantly, Casements is a proper pub whose kitchen serves fish and chips and curry fries en masse, with a curated cocktail list, excellent local beers, and the ability to make frozé feel elegant. A whiskey club, a back patio that feels like the V.I.P. section at a music festival, and a queer-friendly ambiance all conspire to make this Mission spot among the most hospitable bars in the city." - ricky rodriguez, peter astrid kane, patrick wong
