What Diners Say

★★★★★ "Inexpensive drag Brunch. Well worth the trip and spend that extra money on the amazing Queens. The staff takes good care of everyone and it is a good time. The wings were pretty darn good.

★★★★★ Connor Archibeque 7 months ago

This place is AMAZING!!! I came here to celebrate my 21st and it did NOT disappoint! The queens are GORGEOUS and have such great energy! The atmosphere was fun and intimate, the drinks were good, and the food was even better. I recommend their burrito if you go. This place is genuinely a must see! I...

A mainstay in the Castro with a large balcony that overlooks Market st. Usually great music and sometimes a drag show! They have decent bar food which is a plus when wanting something casual while you also have a drink!

★★★★★ Aaron Wessels 2 weeks ago

Definitely swing by the Lookout if you are in the Castro. Great music, awesome staff, and delicious bites. Also, it has great views perched up above Market Street.

★★★★ "The lesbian parade on the Friday of Pride weekend is what brought us here, to hopefully grab a birds eye view of it while having a few beers. Believe it or not, it worked! We ended up with choice seats at the corner outdoor lanai.
