Tasty, strong, and reasonably priced drinks, friendly staff, and a nice big outdoor area. The live DJs are always great, and the occasional karaoke night is always fun! Plus they're fursuit friendly too 😼

I spent so many wonderful Friday evenings in the 90s at El Rio gulping drafts and slurping oysters.

Dive bar that charges cover at the door. Does not give you change. I get SF is expensive but daaammnnn.

Big portions, reasonable prices, and warm hospitality. Their burritos are massive and full of flavor. A hidden gem in Saticoy.

I loved the warm atmosphere, friendliness of the bartenders and that it has also been a LGBT bar since 1973! I was there for a special wedding reception and it was just beautiful!!! 🥰😍🤩❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

Front door person made a racist comment. That is all.

Very run down and cramped little bar. It has a slightly bigger outdoor section. Poor ventilation in both indoor areas. The restrooms always smells, its dark and dirty. The only good thing is it's LGBT friendly. The door person is usually friendly, depending on who. The bar tenders are hit and miss some are very nice and friendly, some are just plain rude and don't seem to want to be there.

Went here for a friend’s birthday and had the best time. This local establishment is a pinnacle in the community and provides a safe space for people to be whoever they want to be. I had the best time dancing with the best people who remind me why I love San Francisco so much.
We had a very disappointing experience at this bar. Due to a misunderstanding with the waitress (we are foreigners and didn’t understand what a “tab” was), she acted very unprofessionally and charged our credit card far more than we should have paid after taking the card from us. We were left with the strong impression that we were being taken advantage of because we are foreigners. We only realized the overcharge when it was too late. We tried contacting them through social media several days ago to clarify the situation, but we have received no response.

Classic dive-y dance bar (typical SF) but more kitschy, with fun theme nights and a great outdoor area to dance and chat. Went on a Charli XCX evening and it did NOT disappoint. Great crowd.

Eli was the best! I just arrived San Francisco and I was looking for a queer bar and Eli helped me a lot and made me feel very welcome. Thank you Eli!
