    This bar is a ghost town full of desperate go-go dancers. Go to Badlands or The Mix for a great night and an even better crowd

    Always a hastle to get in and overpriced to even get in the door ($15 at 9:30pm). On top of the expensive enterance fee, the club is constantly dead. This is the line to get in at 11pm. I finally was gonna go in and just get over the expensive enterance fee but, of course in light of making it a hastle to even get into this dodgy nightclub, they randomly only took cash. Dont waste time here, super expensive, sketchy and never a reliable club to depend on to have a good time. Go to Badlands or The Mix instead. The 3rd picture shows how lively The Mix is Vs Beaux.

    If you want a touch of WeHo in your clubbing, this is probably the place to do it. I can't think of another bar in the Castro that has undulating go-go boys and a cabaret-singing drag queen. Now I'm not the type that writhes on the dance floor after dark. My love handles get in the way. I don't think I have the mojo to writhe anyway. I'm more of the late afternoon/early evening kind of tippler. During that hour, there was a much easier vibe with a bit older crowd (...that would include me). Dee, the singing drag queen, was here performing eighties favorites on the keyboard with genuine panache. What helped immeasurably was the presence of my favorite bartender in the Castro, Jonathan, whom I met first at the far more mellow Last Call Bar. Frankly all the bartenders at Beaux are friendly and usually quite busy, but Jonathan is a standout, an expert mixologist who always makes everyone feel welcome without going overboard. Tequila Sunrises were $8.50 (photo: https://yelp.to/tFO5OswyP_), and like several bars in the 'hood, they have a 2-4-1 Happy Hour which is hard to resist as Dee segues into a Pointer Sisters medley. DRINKS - 4 stars...potent with the 2-4-1 deal irresistible AMBIANCE - 5 stars...the closest you'll get to WeHo in the Castro SERVICE - 5 stars...it's all about the staff here TOTAL - 5 stars...what's wrong with an undulating go-go boy every now and then?

    Beaux continues to be the IT place in S.F. You'll find yourself having an amazing time any day of the week! Drinks and music are a HIT! The performers are talented, and the staff are incredible. They go above and beyond & I am appreciative there's this gem. My favorite club in S.F! Catch me at the next Big Top event and more!

    Detox and myself

    the best bar to be at, always a great vibe for all genders and vibes, the service is always on point and the drinks are strong and delicious it also features some of the best drag in the bay area and some of the hottest gogo dancers! they also have queens from Rupaul's drag race and host the best viewing parties when the show is on!!

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good!

I think in many ways, Blind Pig just fell a little flat. I would like to say that the service here was amazing. A bartender who sat with you to talk about the menu, the process, and your experience very passionately and intently.  However, I think that the bar program is a little unrefined. Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

The smash burger is juicy, salty, and charred just right, making it an easy repeat‑order any time of day. Really enjoyed the pickles it came with to cut the fat. Their chicken and waffles are a must‑try for brunch: perfectly crispy buttermilk fried chicken on top of a fluffy, buttery waffle, with sweet maple‑style syrup tying everything together. And the fried chicken sandwich is good, with a nicely balanced crunch and crispy milk bread. Overall, Horsefeather is a fun, casual neighborhood bar and restaurant that nails brunch.

The Yuka fries were perfectly salted and the aioli dip was exactly what you'd want out of fries.

They do go heavy on the ice with some of the drinks but they all came out in different glasses, different sizes, and different flavors. It was fun tasting them all. My favorite was the watermelon and guava. I would definitely come back for the drinks. I didn't enjoy the food, and here's where it went wrong. We first got our chips and salsa. The chips are seasoned like Doritos so there's a nice flavor but the seasoning is in consistent. Some pieces were SO salty and some had no seasoning. The salsa is pretty rich as well. When our ceviche came, I ate a bite without the seafood and it tasted fishy. When I tried the actual seafood part, I knew it went bad because it had such a strong odor. We had to send it back but saw them serving it to other people. I eat a lot of seafood and I don't mind a slight fishy taste but this was definitely a food poisoning situation. After that it took a very very long time to get our last dish. Unfortunately when it finally came out, it was a disappointment. The octopus texture tasted like it had freezer burn, then was over cooked, sat too long after it was cooked because they had to make the fries. The fries were fresh but the octopus was dry, cold, hard, and chewy. I've had lots of pulpo before and this was a let down. It was a bummer that we didn't get to eat much and decided to walk somewhere else to finish dinner.
