Part of the Gay San Francisco Guide — bars, events & things to do.
San Francisco, California
Castro gay sports bar with 30 beers on tap and a full bar.
A Castro gay sports bar at Church and Market, open since 1980. Pilsner Inn bills itself as a sports bar — a row of big screens, a pool table, darts, and a jukebox — but it plays more like a neighborhood pub that happens to have the game on, and it has long sponsored the community's softball, bowling, and pool teams. The draft list runs around thirty beers from a system that chills the lines cold, alongside a full bar, and it's pulled "Best Beer Selection" and "Best Bang for Your Buck" nods from the Bay Area Reporter. The real sleeper is out back: a large garden patio with a koi pond, an easy place to lose an afternoon. The crowd is regulars-heavy and unpretentious — a place to settle in rather than make an entrance.
