This SF gay bar describes itself as the “Gateway to The Castro’ due to its prime location, right under the iconic rainbow arrow on the corner of Market Street and Castro.
It is thought that this gay bar was the first in the country to have full-length, open plate-glass windows, allowing customers to gaze out and, more significantly, the general public to see in. The absolutely best wines by the glass, beers on tap, and cocktails in the area are all created in this well-known “symbol” of the Castro, where a shifting minute-by-minute mosaic of daily life is visible via the expansive windows.
The Twin Peaks Taverna, which has now been there for 40 years, is one of the most recognizable and welcome places in the Castro neighborhood. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a warm staff, making it a fantastic spot to meet people and socialize.
