I have not been to a lot of bars in the Castro but by far, hands down, this one is my favorite. The music is always so fresh (and no endless jungle remixes) plus the atmosphere is consistently fun and lively. You wind up sitting next to someone and strangers actually talk to each other! My only note is that it would be perfect if there were enough space for dancing.

Refused entry here because I walked past “security”. I’m a 50+ man who didn’t initially show an ID. When I did, he refused to let me enter. How does this place stay in business?

Erick the bartender that was serving on the right end of the well on 10/21/2025 was EXTREMELY rude. I was waiting for a friend, SOBER as a whistle, whulst thinking about a couple of things around 10:20pm. Amongst thinking of things and waiting for friends, Erick approached me in a forceful, agressive and unpleasant manner. He asked me if I was buying drinks and when I told him no I was waiting for friends he told me it looked like I was sleeping and kicked me out. This was one of the first times ive been to The Edge and definetly the last. Will be speaking to higher managment ASAP

The drinks are inexpensive and stuh-rong. Most of the bartenders are nice, kind and attentive. I love Musical Mondays, but more than that I love going to a place that fills like a social pub for queers like me. At so many of the bars I used to patronize it feels like I've aged out. At the Edge it doesn't matter how old or young, skinny or fat, butch or femme. It's a neighborhood watering hole for everybody!

Visited quite a few times. This bar is Not like a lot of other gay bars in San Francisco that I have gone too that are dark and dingy, filthy atmosphere. This bar is Very up market crowd. Great feel, Safe feel very excepting. Transgender safe space. Warm comfortable bar staff and patrons. Definitely will return further.

Damn! The drinks at The Edge pack a punch, and you get your money’s worth. This place is hopping—it’s always got a great crowd and a lively vibe on most evenings. Every time I’ve been, I’ve felt completely welcomed and safe, which is exactly what you want in a bar. The Edge is becoming a go-to spot in the Castro, and it’s absolutely on the list for my next visit to San Francisco. Highly recommend if you're looking for strong drinks, good times, and an inclusive atmosphere!
Not lesbian friendly, despite having a lesbian flag outside your establishment. We got a bartender that would ignore me and my female friends who came to support our local drag show. We had a bartender attend male customers before us despite us waiting in line and when we called his attention while trying to get dollar bills for the performance. Overall did not feel welcomed. Not “inclusive” as they say.

Fun place but sketchy service and payment systems. Don't go here if you don't plan to be overcharged or told that your credit card can't be accepted. Was told that the bartender wasn't able to take payment and that I would have to wait 5 minutes for him to return. The one who told me that was himself a bartender.... Came and found me to charge my card and then said that my card was declined and I asked why was it declined and his response was, "you don't have enough money on your credit card to cover the cost".... Didn't realize he had access to my bank account statements.... He was mistaken. More than enough money to cover the cost. This is a sketchy establishment with horrible reviews for obvious reasons.... Look at the other reviews. Proceeded to advise me that if I didn't find a friend to pay for the tab, I would be kicked dout and my credit card would be held until further notice. I snatched my card from his hand and told him that if he did that then it would be theft. He obliged but continued to harass me. Be careful going to this LOW QUALITY GAY BAR.
