2 pool tables and Star Wars-themed decor in the back of the bar (along with a single pinball machine), and small outside smoking area behind that. Digital/app-connected jukebox as well. If you manage to secure 1 of the 2 booths by the pool tables, your group will have a good spot to hang out (and you're allowed to chow down on outside food). Cheap drinks but you have to order at the bar.

A Must-Visit Classic on Polk Street
I’m a regular at The Cinch Saloon, particularly during their happy hour, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best spots in San Francisco. The atmosphere is always welcoming, with a bunch of steady regulars who are friendly and down-to-earth. The back patio is perfect for kicking back and enjoying the evening outdoors, and the bartenders are some of the friendliest I’ve encountered. They really make you feel at home!
Speaking of bartenders, one of them recently won the Best Bartender in the Bay Area award—and it shows. The drinks are strong and priced right, which makes it hard to beat for value in this part of the city.
While I don’t usually stay for the late-night crowd, I hear that The Cinch has a cabaret license again, so their legendary drag shows are back, adding a fantastic flair to the place. Whether you’re looking to relax with a cheap drink after work or experience some nightlife entertainment, The Cinch has something for everyone.

I love this charming gay bar in Nob Hill and had a wonderful experience! The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere right from the start. The vibe is relaxed, with a delightful old bar feel that invites you to settle in and enjoy. The decor is quite unique, adding to the allure of the place. Highly recommend for a laid-back night out in a friendly environment!
The oldest gay bar in San Francisco. Pool tables, theme party’s great deco. Adult videos full jukebox great vibes

I know where Lucy Borden’s remains are. She was delicious. Barbecue was great, but the menudo was the best!
