Your SF Pride guide to San Francisco’s gay bars, pot spots | #ILoveGay | Scoop.it

San Francisco’s gay bar scene remains a vibrant part of LGBTQ life in the city: Each June these watering holes from the Castro to the Tenderloin are flooded with visitors looking to wet their whistles and celebrate S.F. Pride. Some bars are historic sites (Harvey’s) where pioneers like Harvey Milk planted the seeds that blossomed into the LGBTQ rights revolution. Other spots have great shows (Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, Oasis), fierce dancing (Badlands, the Cafe, El Rio) and killer cocktails and decor (Blackbird). Whether drinking or toking, enjoy San Francisco Pride safely and responsibly.
