Big Kitchen Cafe San Diego - Big Kitchen Golden Hill - Judy The Beauty On Duty - San Diego Best Breakfasts - South Park San Diego Restaurants -
Let's just get the bad news out of the way early - Big Kitchen is often packed, and this is particularly so on weekend mornings, when both locals in the surrounding Golden Hill and South Park neighborhoods flock here along with breakfast aficionados from all over San Diego.

Bourbon Street San Diego - Bourbon Street University Heights - San Diego Gay Cruise Bars - Go-Go Dancers San Diego - Wet Underwear Contests San Diego
It might just be the best all-around gay bar in San Diego, and yet the loosely French Quarter-themed Bourbon Street nightclub isn't in Hillcrest and doesn't generally draw big crowds to its dance floor. So what's so fun about this place? First, Bourbon Street has a friendly, welcoming staff and attitude, which tends to rub off on the diverse clientele. It's somewhat more of a guys hangout most nights, and it can get mighty cruisy when go-go dancers perform, but women are quite welcome.

F Street Adult Video & Gifts - F Street Porn Shops - F Street Adult Books Hillcrest - San Diego Gay Porn Stores - Sex Toys San Diego - Gay DVDs - Pecs
Rather impressively, F Street Adult Video & Gifts has been a fixture among fans of porn, sex toys, lube, and racy adult treasures since the mid-'70s. The regional chain has eight locales, and the one pictured here, on University Avenue in the western edge of North Park (very close to Hillcrest) tends to draw the highest percentage of GLBT customers. The selection of gay videos and mags is actually marginal - it's more hetero. But this is still a reliable place to stock up on lube, toys, condoms

Along a strip of gay-oriented businesses on University Avenue in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood, Flicks gay video bar has long been a hub of gay schmoozing and socializing in this sunny and scenic city by the ocean.

This is the place to cut loose, admire the shirtless boys and dancers (and women on Thursday's Touch Ladies Nights), and - as comes with the territory - prepare to pay a cover charger (usually nothing too steep, compared with other big dance clubs in California).
San Diego Palomar Hotel - Summersalt Swimming Pool and Lounge - San Diego Best Boutique Hotels - Hip San Diego Hotels - Kimpton San Diego Hotels

It's more about the handy location, free Wi-Fi (as long as you buy something), and decent coffee and tea at Urban Grind than the food, but this often-crowded coffeehouse on the eastern edge of Hillcrest (just a few blocks north of Balboa Park) is perfect if you're looking for a spot to read or work away on your laptop...and perhaps ogle cute gays and lesbians, which make up a good bit of the clientele.
Urban Mo's San Diego - Urban Mo's Bar & Grill - Kickers San Diego - Hillcrest Gay Restaurants - Gay Country-Western Bars - SD Gay Latin Bars - Mo's
For many years the home to San Diego's branch of Hamburger Mary's and the gay country-western bar Kickers, Urban Mo's still has the same friendly vibe, casual dining scene, and highly popular entertainment as its predecessor.

Urban Solace San Diego - San Diego Best Brunch Restaurants - North Park Restaurants - Restaurants Near Balboa Park - Urban Solace North Park
With a slightly frilly facade, charmingly elegant dining room, and breezy patio - plus a wildly popular bluegrass brunch on Sundays - Urban Solace may look and sound like it was airlifted from New Orleans and dropped onto North Park's 30th Street restaurant strip.

Blush Wine Bar San Francisco - Blush Castro Street - Gay Wine Bars - Castro Street Best Restaurants - Blush San Francisco Bar Menu - Blush Wine Lounge
Amid the countless gay bars and taverns around the famed intersection of Castro and 18th streets, Blush is a bit of a departure.

With its four bars, lushly landscaped patio, huge dance floor, rocking sound system, and expansive layout, it's easy to see why gay and lesbian locals love Badlands Dance Club, and why visitors are often surprised to find such a stellar gay bar in Sacramento.

Although there are no gay bathhouses within San Francisco city limits, per a 1984 court order that eliminated them, the city does have a couple of popular gay sex clubs, including Eros, which is on the edge of the Castro on Market Street - it's close to the Mission and Hayes Valley, by the busy Church Street Corridor. Eros has been going strong for many years and has the feel of a gay bathhouse, but without private rooms. There is a sauna, showers, steam rooms, and professional massage available
Esta Noche Gay Bar - Esta Noche Mission District - Gay Latino Bars San Francisco - California Queer Hispanic Clubs - Esta Noche 16th Street - SF Drag
The Mission has morphed into an eclectic, if self-consciously hip neighborhood in recent times, but for many years it was San Francisco's prime Latino neighborhood. It was during these years that Esta Noche opened, and it has remained the Bay Area's favorite gay Latino dance club ever since - a place where the bumping and grinding can get mightly intense on certain evenings. The drag shows on Friday and Saturday nights are among the dishiest in the city.
Harvey's Castro - Harvey's Gay Bar San Francisco - Best Gay Brunch San Francisco - Oldest Gay Bar Castro - Elephant Bar - San Francisco Gay Restaurant
Named for the legendary, late gay activist Harvey Milk, the quintessential gay brunch restaurant Harvey's - which opened in 1996 on the site of the old Elephant Bar (which has burned in a fire several years earlier) - is also one of the most popular queer bars in the Castro. Whether for evening cocktails or dinner, or to partake of the delicious brunch (served until 3 pm daily), Harvey's is a must-see for gay visitors. Inside the warmly decorated space are many photos of Harvey Milk
Lookout San Francisco - Lookout Gay Bar Castro - Lookout Restaurant Market Street - San Francisco Gay Sports Bars - Gay Pizza Restaurants Castro
You won't find many better spots for people-watching in the Castro than the extensive balconies at the aptly named Lookout bar and restaurant (for years it was called the Metro). This airy and open space with a bit of a sport-bar theme has packed happy hours, serves tasty pizza (all-you-can-eat on Tuesdays), and even presents a pretty fun drag-show on Wednesdays. Although the Lookout pulls in a good mix of guys throughout the night, it's especially popular in the afternoon and early evening.
Lucky 13 San Francisco - Lucky 13 Bar Market Street - Castro Dive Bars - Best Mixed Bars San Francisco - Lucky 13 Castro - Best Juke Box San Francisco
Not every nightspot in the Castro is a gay bar, with Lucky 13 a very good example. However, pretty much every bar in the Castro has at least a GLBT following, and a mixed crowd, and the lovably dive-y Lucky 13 lounge definitely fits into this category. This low-key, hipster-favored spot just off the Church Street Corridor carries more than two-dozen beers on tap (the specialty is Belgians), plus a good mix of cocktails. Music tends toward the unpredictable - from reggae to punk to rock.
Midnight Sun San Francisco - Midnight Sun Gay Bar - Midnight Sun Video Bar - Castro Gay Video Bars - Midnight Sun Castro - Gay Cruise Bars Castro
Midnight Sun has been the definitive gay video bar of the Castro for many years now. It recently underwent a refurbishment (which explains the rather unfortunate exterior appearance from the photo I snapped here in spring 2010). This is a favorite stop when gay-bar-hopping in the Castro, and it's especially popular for happy hour, and for catching the latest queer-popular TV shows - American Idol, Project Runway, and plenty of old retro favorites (Queer as Folk among them).
Mix San Francisco - Mix Gay Bar - Mix Castro - San Francisco Gay Sports Bars - Mix Gay Sports Bar Castro - Castro Gay Neighborhood Lounges - Mix SF
The laid-back Mix bar is one of the Castro's friendlier and more locals-oriented gay hangouts - it's a nice spot on a warm day, as there's a patio out back, and Mix sponsors a local GLBT softball team and cultivates a bit of a following with sports fans. It's a good spot to shoot pool, chat with locals (it's not especially loud), and people-watch.
Moby Dick San Francisco - Moby Dick Gay Bar - Moby Dick Castro - Moby Dick Bar 18th Street - San Francisco Castro Gay Scene - Gay Lounges Castro
Since 1979, the popular gay neighborhood bar Moby Dick has been a Castro fixture - one of several nightspots that figure in any queer-bar tour of the neighborhood. Set on the ground floor of a turreted gray Victorian house, this popular corner bar is most famous for the huge saltwater fish tank over the bar. This is a reliably good early-evening bar, and on weekends it remains quite crowded into the wee hours.
Q Bar San Francisco - Q Bar Castro Street - Best Gay Bars Castro - Bar on Castro - Best Castro Happy Hours - San Francisco Gay Male Dancers - Q Bar
Opened in the centrally located space that used to house the Bar on Castro (which moved and became the Bar on Church, or BOC), Q Bar is a terrific, attractive, and modern gay bar just across the street from the venerable Castro Theatre. Generally packed during happy hours and drawing a cute, stylish crowd of San Francisco gay A-listers, Q Bar has a number of fun theme nights - go-go boys on Wednesdays, an afternoon beer bust on Saturdays. Signature cocktails include the Tranny Chaser and Q-Jito.
SF Badlands - Badlands Gay Bar San Francisco - Castro Badlands Video Bar - SF Badlands 18th Street - Most Popular Gay Bar San Francisco - Gay Badlands
Among the dozen or so gay bars within a stone's throw of Castro and 18th streets, SF Badlands is arguably the most popular of the bunch. It's packed to the rafters on weekends and quite busy on other nights, catering to a relatively youthful (20s and 30s) bunch of guys. There's a bar and seating areas up front, and a mid-size dance floor in the back. SF Badlands is perhaps most famous for its well-attended Sunday beer blast, and happy hour specials are also quite a deal.
Toad Hall Gay Bar - Toad Hall San Francisco - Toadhall Gay Bar - Toad Hall Happy Hour - San Francisco Gay Hangouts - Castro Gay Scene - Toad Hall Bar
Toad Hall is a laid-back gay neighborhood in the Castro, part of the big clutch of gay hangouts near the intersection of Castro and 18th. For many years, this space held the Pendulum Bar - it became Toad Hall in 2009 and has become popular for its good-size patio - it doesn't hurt that such neighborhood hot spots as SF Badlands and Edge are close by. Toad Hall has one of the better happy hours in the Castro.
Trigger San Francisco - Trigger Gay Bar - Detour San Francisco - Trigger Market Street - Trendy Gay Bars San Francisco - Trigger Gay Nightclub
Some years ago, a gay bar on Market Street called The Detour became well-known as a cruisy pickup spot among buff gay guys (and it also earned a rep as the venue where several gay porn flicks were filmed). Fast-forward to 2009, and the Trigger opened in the old Detour space, with an upscale, stylish decor and spendy drink prices to match. In fact, this is the site of the first gay bar ever in the Castro, a place called Missouri Mile, which opened in 1963 (it was also site of Jet before
Bench and Bar Oakland - Bench and Bar Gay Nightlife - Oakland Gay Discos - Gay East Bay Nightlife - Gay Latin Bars - Hispanic Queer Lesbian Nightclubs
Smack in the middle of downtown Oakland, you'll find one of the country's most popular gay Latin clubs, and certainly the most popular in the Bay Area, the Bench and Bar, which has a nice selection of special evenings throughout the week, including karaoke on Tuesdays, women's/lesbian/Latina parties on Thursdays, and great happy hours during the afternoons and early evenings (Friday's happy hour is especially fun and crowded).
Club Ripples Long Beach - Long Beach Best Gay Bars - Ripples Gay Nightclub Long Beach - Belmont Shore Gay Beach - Tabatha Takes Over
Southern California has surprisingly few gay beach bars, especially with the demise a few years ago of the Boom Boom Room in Laguna Beach, but in the laid-back, underrated city of Long Beach - just 30 miles south of Los Angeles - you'll find one of the biggest and the best, Club Ripples. This two-story gay nightclub has been catering to the GLBT community since it opened in the early 1970s, just across the street from Belmont Shores's gay beach.
Hunters Nightclub Palm Springs - Hunter's Gay Bar - Hunter's Arenas Road - Palm Springs Gay Discos - Men's Video Bars Palm Springs - Hunters Lounge
The largest and most popular of the gay bars along the East Arenas Road strip in downtown Palm Springs, Hunters is a spacious, well-decorated, upscale-looking gay video and cruise bar that's a mainstay of the region's clubbing scene. Popular as much for watching videos and dancing as for watching hot go-go boys dancing, Hunters fills to the rafters on weekends in high seasons and draws pretty good crowds year-round. There's a branch of Hunters in the northwest Chicago suburb of Elk Grove.
White Horse Tavern Berkeley - White Horse Tavern Oakland - Berkeley Gay Bars - Oakland Gay Nightlife - Oldest Gay Bars in America - White Horse Inn
For more than 75 years, the very convivial White Horse Inn bar has served the gay and lesbian community of the Bay Area, catering to college students from nearby U Cal Berkeley, visiting queers from across the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, and regular Janes and Joes in the grittier city of Oakland. The still-festive bar is in Oakland, right by the Berkeley border. These days it keeps busy by holding a variety of cool theme nights. It also has a delightful patio area, perfect on a warm evening.
The Brit Long Beach - The Brit Gay Bar - Brit Bar East Broadway - Long Beach Gay Bars - Pool Bars Long Beach - Gay Nightlife East Broadway - The Brit
The Brit is one of several gay neighborhood bars along the East Broadway strip in Long Beach. There's not a whole lot to distinguish this one from some of the others along here - it's a relatively quiet spot with a largely local following. Amusements, beyond the stiff drinks (at low prices), include pool, darts, and a fun jukebox.
Club Broadway Long Beach Closed
Small, laid-back, and generally pretty mellow, Club Broadway is a long-running lesbian bar along the city's main GLBT-bar strip, East Broadway (it's actually several blocks east of most of the other bars). Inside you'll find a pool table, darts, and ample seating and standing areas. It's just a few steps from one of the more raffishly endearing dive bars in Long Beach, the Reno Room, which is mostly hetero but also draws quite a few gays and lesbians.
Hamburger Mary's Long Beach - Long Beach Gay Restaurants - Gay Brunch Long Beach - Long Beach Best Burgers - Long Beach Drag Shows - Boy Bar
The nearest gay bar in Long Beach to downtown, Hamburger Mary's is part of the much-loved, high-camp chain of burger joints with locations throughout the country (and the greatest number in California). The large patio is the best spot for lunch or dinner, while inside the bar serves up potent drinks, with specials throughout the week. Nightly themes include Club Lucky Wednesdays with go-go boys and drag shows, bottomless mimosa Sunday brunch, Friday's Boy Bar, and Doll House Thursdays.
Mineshaft Tavern Long Beach - Mineshaft Leather Bar - Long Beach Gay Cruise Bars - Leather and Levi's Long Beach - Long Beach Men's Cruising Bars
Like many classic leather bars, the Mineshaft has steadily transitioned over time to more of a Levi's and T-shirts bar - it's still very much a guys' hangout, with a somewhat cruisy vibe (at least late on weekend evenings), but this unpretentious neighborhood bar with a mock-Western facade is mostly just a laid-back spots for affordable drinks and shooting pool. Dim lighting and a rustic wood interior give the Mineshaft a bit more character than some of the other gay bars along East Broadway.
Paradise Long Beach - Paradise Piano Bar - Long Beach Gay Restaurants - Gay Piano Bars Los Angeles - Paradise Restaurant Long Beach - Bird of Paradise
This attractive piano bar and restaurant along East Broadway was known for many years as The Bird of Paradise. Nowadays the space goes by the simple name Paradise, and it's one of the most popular gay and lesbian hangouts in the city - it's actually pretty mixed gay-straight many evenings. Fans appreciate the lively piano cabaret, drag bingo shows, and very good mod-American food, including weekend brunch and dinner served late.
Silver Fox Long Beach - Silver Fox Gay Bar - Long Beach Gay Neighborhood Bars - Silver Fox Video Bar - Long Beach Gay Nightlife
In a handsomely restored art deco building just off the quirky 4th Street Corridor and a bit northeast of the main gay bar district in Long Beach, the Silver Fox has been one of the city's nightlife mainstays for many years. It's not, despite the name, necessarily geared toward older men - age-wise, the crowd is very mixed. The attractive interior, friendly staff, and relatively compact dimensions make this a good spot to socialize, especially early in the evening, when it's most popular.
Sweetwater Saloon Long Beach - Sweet Water Gay Bar - Long Beach Dive Bars - Gay Neighborhood Bars Long Beach - Long Beach Broadway Gay Bar Strip
One of the several greatest hits that make up the East Broadway gay bar strip near downtown Long Beach, Sweetwater Saloon is a pretty classic neighborhood bar - there aren't a lot of bells and whistles here, just a no-nonsense bar with an outgoing staff serving low-price booze to low-keyed gay guys (and a fair number of straights). There's a patio off the bar, a pool table, and a cool jukebox with a wide variety of tunes.
Rainbow Cattle Company Russian River - Guerneville Gay Nightlife - Rainbow Cattle Co. Sonoma County - Russian River Bear Bars - Sonoma Gay Nightlife
Since 1979, the rakish and rugged Rainbow Cattle Company has been a fixture on the Wild West main drag of Guerneville, in the heart of the Russian River area of western Sonoma County. Plenty of other gay bars in this low-keyed, beautifully situated vacation community have come and gone over the years, but this no-attitude saloon has maintained its reputation as a fun place to hobnob, cruise, and people-watch. It's especially popular with bears, cubs, leather dudes, and the like.
Executive Suite Long Beach - Executive Suite Gay Bar - Executive Suite Lesbian Club - Long Beach Women's Bars - Long Beach Gay Latin Bars -
Executive Suite is the closest gay club in Long Beach to the 405 Freeway - it's about 3 miles east of downtown, and it operates with a different approach than other GLBT hangouts in the city: it's open only Thursday through Saturday, and each night is geared toward a different crowd (Latin on Thursdays, gay guys on Fridays, and lesbians on Saturdays). Of these events, the lesbian nights are highly popular, but all have their fans. Generally, it's about dancing and clubbing here.
Falcon Long Beach - Falcon Gay Bar - Hispter Bars Long Beach - Mixed Gay/Straight Bars Long Beach - Falcon East Broadway - Long Beach Happy Hour Bars
The story of the Falcon is one of those cautionary tales of what happens when an old-school dive bar that few but hard-core, day-long drinkers ever paid much attention to develops serious cachet among hipsters and poseurs. Personally, I had a great time in this place, but I was an outsider stopping by for a drink. Longtime locals appear more divided on the Falcon's increasing popularity, some uneasy about the crowds. Other like that the Falcon draws a genuine mix of Long Beach revelers.
Brix Nightclub - Brix Gay Bar San Jose - San Jose Gay Nightclubs - San Jose Gay Scene - Tinker's Dam Santa Clara - King of Clubs Mountain View - Brix
San Jose's hottest and hippest gay nightclub, Brix lies in the heart of downtown and is easy to spot from the street, behind its distinctive rainbow-glass transom window. Inside you'll find a beautifully designed space with tall windows, high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a U-shape central bar - it's one of the most attractive gay nightspots in the Bay Area, and a fun place for dancing, cruising, and meeting locals. The crowd is eclectic, with a mix of guys and women, tending toward young

A profile of the West Hollywood gay nightclubs Ultra Suede and Factory.
Fubar West Hollywood - Fubar Gay Club - Fubar Los Angeles - West Hollywood Cruise Bars - Best Gay Bars Los Angeles - Men's Cruising West Hollywood
A happily sexy and sleazy (in the best possible way) gay bar on Santa Monica Boulevard, Fubar has long been an edgier, darker alternative to the usual stand-and-model gay bars along the main WeHo gay bar strip (which is several blocks west). With an eclectic, cruisy crowd of regular guys of all ages, cool music that deviates from the usual dance beats, and super-dark lighting, Fubar feels as though it was airlifted from Silver Lake - in fact, you'll see a lot of the same guys here at Akbar.
Gym Sports Bar - Gym Gay Bar West Hollywood - Los Angeles Gay Sports Bars - West Hollywood Gym Club - Gym Locker Room Fridays - Gym Bar Los Angeles
Like the popular Gym Bar in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, Gym Sportsbar West Hollywood is a favorite hangout of GLBT jocks and players in the area's gay sports leagues. There are bottomless
Mac's Pub San Jose - Mac's San Jose - Mac's Gay Bar - San Jose Gay Lounges - Oldest Gay Bars California - Gay Neighborhood Bars San Jose - Mac's Bar

Melrose Spa Los Angeles - Melrose Gay Bathhouse West Hollywood - Los Angeles Gay Sex Clubs - Hollywood Melrose Spa - Midtown Spa L.A. - 1350 Club LA
Although technically in Hollywood, this is the closest men's bathhouse to the Santa Monica Boulevard GLBT nightlife action in West Hollywood. Melrose Spa is part of the Midtown Spa gay bathhouse chain, which has two other locations in the Los Angeles area (Midtowne Spa in downtown L.A., and 1350 Club, in the city of Wilmington - down near San Pedro and Long Beach).

The Palms West Hollywood - Palms Lesbian Bar - Los Angeles Lesbian Clubs - Palms Women's Bar West Hollywood - Best Lesbian Bars - Palms Gay Bars WeHo
For more than 40 years, as quite a few other gay bars along Santa Monica Boulevard have come and gone, the esteemed Palms lesbian bar has kept the lights on, welcoming an eclectic crowd of women from all over metro Los Angeles (plus a good many gay guys and straight friends). Celebrities ranging from Ellen DeGeneres to Melissa Etheridge have visited this attractive bar and dance club. Popular parties include Thursday's Club Martini, with live music performances; and Sundays comedy and karaoke.
Renegades San Jose - Renegades Gay Bar San Jose - South Bay Gay Nightlife - San Jose Gay Leather Bars - Gay Bear Bars San Jose - Renegades Cruise Bar
Renegades sort of feels like a mix of four or five different neighborhood bars in the Castro wrapped into one friendly, somewhat Levi's/leather/bear-ish hangout. This popular hangout is a 10-minute drive west of downtown, just north of the San Jose Market Center. Although the bar is favored by men mostly over 35 or 40, it consistently draws a mixed bunch and is very welcoming of all kinds, regardless of gender and style. It's also a frequent host of fundraisers for local community groups.
Splash San Jose - Splash Gay Bar San Jose - San Jose Gay Video Bars - Splash Bar Reopening - San Jose Gay Clubs
Closed as of summer 2010 for renovations, the popular downtown San Jose gay video bar Splash has been taken over by new owners, who are currently upgrading the sound system, lighting, and decor.

Splash is just a few doors down from another San Jose gay bar, Mac's, in the city's Fountain Alley/Historic District.
Akbar Los Angeles - Akbar Silver Lake - Silver Lake gay bars - Los Angeles gay bars - Silver Lake photos - L.A. gay nightlife - Kitchen Silver Lake
In the offbeat, mildly artsy Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, Akbar is arguably the city's most eclectic gay bar (the other likely contender is the endearingly quirky Roosterfish, in Venice Beach). The laid-back lounge at 4356 Sunset Boulevard draws a chiefly gay-male crowd but also plenty of lesbians and straights of all walks of life, and also covering all age groups (although skewing toward youthful). Next door is the outstanding gay-popular restaurant, The Kitchen.
Bar on Castro closed - Bar on Castro moved - Bar on Church - Churchill Bar - Q Bar
Bar on Castro closed - the space is now Q Bar. The owners of Bar on Castro had moved their operations to Bar on Church, but that space has also closed and is now Churchill.
Here Lounge West Hollywood - Here gay club - Here West Hollywood - Here's Jackie - Truck Stop Fridays - Size Here Lounge - Here Lounge L.A.
Run by the same folks who operate the similarly fabulous G Lounge in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, the swank Here Lounge has become a gay clubbing fixture in West Hollywood over the years. It's right beside the white-hot Abbey gay lounge and coffeehouses, and around the corner from the old-school Mother Lode. Here has a successful flavor-of-the-week style, with different themes for different evenings.

Mother Lode West Hollywood - West Hollywood gay nightlife - WeHo gay bars - Mother Lode gay bar - L.A. gay bar pictures - West Hollywood gay bars
There's nothing fancy about the rough-and-tumble Mother Lode, an old-school gay bar that's been drawing regular guys and gay neighborhood locals for years - this is just a solid, friendly, and somewhat cruisy hangout that's a good bet when you don't feel like dressing up and dealing with the stand-and-model scene at some of the scene-y bars across Santa Monica Boulevard.
Pilsner Inn San Francisco - Pilsner Inn Gay Bars - Castro Gay Nightlife photos - Gay bars in San Francisco - Church Street San Francisco - SF bar pics
The Castro's loveably raffish Pilsner Inn celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006, but this slightly divey gay neighborhood joint has really come of age in recent years, becoming a favorite destination of low-keyed, amiable, and individualistic San Francisco gay guys (and a handful of lesbians) who eschew the
Rage West Hollywood - Rage Santa Monica Boulevard - Rage gay bar - West Hollywood gay clubs - Los Angeles gay clubs - L.A. gay bars - WeHo gay clubs
The iconic gay nightclub Rage has long been a mainstay in West Hollywood's
Abbey Gay Lounge - West Hollywood Abbey Restaurant - Gay Dining West Hollywood - Happy Hour Los Angeles - Abbey Cocktail Lounge - Abbey Coffeehouse
What began as a relatively modest gay coffeehouse several years ago, The Abbey has blossomed into one of West Hollywood's hottest hangouts, gay or straight. This elegant Spanish Mediterranean-style compound on North Roberston Boulevard (right next to Here Lounge) has lush landscaping, gurgling fountains, and plenty of patio seating.

Trunks Gay Bar - Trunks West Hollywood - Trunks Santa Monica Boulevard
West Hollywood's traditional gay sports bar and also a genuinely friendly, low-attitude spot for cocktails, Trunks is at 8809 Santa Monica Boulevard, a short walk from several other gay bars in the area, such as Micky's, Rage, and Revolver.
Alibi Bar Arcata - Alibi Cocktail Lounge - Arcata Gay Bars - Gay-Friendly Arcata - Arcata Dive Bars - Arcata Best Nightlife - Alibi Restaurant & Bar
One of the most politically progressive towns in the country, the decidedly off-center college town of Arcata - home to Humboldt State University - has no specific gay bars, but the raffish Alibi dive bar and restaurant has a very popular following in the community. The bar's owner also ran Aunty Mo's, a gay bar in nearby Eureka that closed in April 2010, and the laid-back Alibi draws an eclectic, if eccentric crowd. The old-school bar serves a long list of martinis and foofy cocktails.
Blue Lagoon Santa Cruz - Blue Lagoon Nightclub Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz Gay Nightlife - Santa Cruz Gay Scene - Blue Lagoon Dance Club - Gay Santa Cruz
For many years, this downtown Santa Cruz bar and nightclub was the region's sole gay nightspot. The clientele has changed a lot in recent years, however, and now the crowd is sort of a hodgepodge, tending toward straight many nights, but almost always with a sizable gay contingent. For best results, come expecting a mixed but gay-accepting crowd, which you could say about most bars and nightclubs in this very left-leaning, counter-cultural university city.
Elsie's Santa Barbara - Santa Barbara Gay-Friendly Bars - Santa Barbara Dive Bars - Gay Nightlife Santa Barbara - Elsie's Bar Santa Barbara
It's really a little cheery and cozy in here to call Elsie's a true dive bar, but this chill neighborhood hangout on a residential street just on the west edge of downtown has the arty vibe, eclectic clientele (including plenty of GLBT regulars), and vintage decor that's common with that genre. Beyond the intimate main bar, with its pool table and otherwise living-room-esque style, there's an attractive patio in back. Also check the extensive selection of beers on tap.
Lost Coast Brewery Eureka - Lost Coast Bar Eureka - Gay Bars Eureka California - Aunty Mo's Closed 2010 - Gay-Friendly Eureka - Lost Coast Brewpub
With the closing in April 2010 of long-running bar Aunty Mo's, the small Northern California city of Eureka is without a gay bar, but Lost Coast Brewery welcomes the local LGBT community enthusiastically and has a strong gay following. Moreover, this convivial restaurant and brewpub set on the ground floor of a colorful three-story downtown building serves outstanding handcrafted beers (Downtown Brown, Great White, Alleycat Amber, Lost Coast Pale Ale, Tangerine Wheat, and several others).
Mad House Bar Santa Cruz - Mad House Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz Gay Bars - Seabright Bar & Lounge - Gay-Friendly Santa Cruz - Santa Cruz Gay Nightlife
Formerly the Seabright Bar & Lounge, the Mad House Bar opened in 2009 and has become the main GLBT hangout in Santa Cruz, as downtown's Blue Lagoon has become increasingly hetero (although you'll find that gays and straights mix quite happily at bars and lounges throughout Santa Cruz). Located in the funky Seabright neighborhood, on the east side of town not far from Capitola, the Mad House has a mid-size dance floor but is mostly a place to mingle and chill. Happy hours here are popular.
Native Lounge San Luis Obispo - Native Lounge Nightclub - closed
Native Lounge closed in 2011.
Roosterfish Bar Venice - Roosterfish Gay Club - Roosterfish Los Angeles - Venice Gay Bars - Los Angeles Gay Beach Bars - Roosterfish Gay Dance Bar
For more than 30 years, this cool neighborhood bar set inside a homely, brick, aqua-blue building has been a fixture of the Venice gay scene - in fact, Roosterfish is the only gay bar in the Venice and Santa Monica area. As the surrounding Abbot Kinney Boulevard neighborhood has become increasingly hip and trendy, Roosterfish has developed increased cachet, too, morphing from a quiet neighborhood bar into more of a gay-hipster lounge that draws patrons from all over the city.
Santa Barbara Gay Bars - Wildcat Lounge Santa Barbara - Wildcat Bar Sunday Flavor Party
The most recent of Santa Barbara's gay bars closed a few years ago, but downtown's hip Wildcat Lounge has long hosted a Sunday night GLBT party called Flavor, and on other nights, this attractive space still generally draws plenty of local gays and lesbians. The Wildcat has a dance floor, lounge seating, red walls, and top DJs and live bands, and a stellar cocktail menu. Wildcat is just west of State Street, the main drag in this upscale resort city.
Agenda Lounge San Jose - Agenda Nightclub San Jose - Gay-Friendly San Jose Nightlife - San Jose Agenda Bar - Downtown San Jose Dance Clubs
Set inside a redbrick, two-story building in downtown San Jose, Agenda is both a swanky lounge/nightclub and a hip restaurant. The clientele is a mix, but there's often a gay presence, and Agenda throws occasional gay-themed parties and events. The state-of-the-art sound system, high-caliber DJs, and attractive decor make it a fun venue for the see-and-be-seen set.
Black Cat Gay Bar - Mack's Bar & Grill Penngrove - Black Cat Santa Rosa - Sonoma Gay Bars - Humble Pie Sonoma County - Black Cat Closed 2010
One of the only gay bars in Sonoma County outside of the Russian River community of Guerneville, the Black Cat has been a fixture for several years, set in a funky old building in Penngrove, just south of Santa Rosa. Unfortunately, the owners decided to close the bar in summer 2010. A new hangout called Mack's Bar & Grill has taken over the spot, and is sure to be very gay-friendly, but it's unclear right now how much of a GLBT following it will have.
Jerry's Knight Club - Jerry's Nightclub Guerneville - River Theatre Russian River - Jerry's Knight Club Russian River - Russian River Music Clubs
It's one of the more prominent buildings in downtown Guerneville, the heart of the Russian River's gay resort scene: the old River Theatre building has had many incarnations, and has sat dormant in recent years as often as not, although it was a popular gay nightclub called Ziggurat through much of the '90s. Most recently, it's become the area's premier live-music club and dance bar, Jerry's Knight Club - not gay-specific, but it does draw many of Guerneville's local GLBT folks.
Watergarden San Jose - Watergarden Bathhouse - San Francisco Gay Bathhouses - Watergarden Men's Club San Jose - Gay Sex Venues San Francisco Bay Area
San Jose's Watergarden bathhouse and men's club is also very well-liked - fans praise the beautiful outdoor garden patio, solicitous staff, and attractive layout. It's a bit more inviting and cheery than the other gay bathhouse in the Bay Area, more industrial-looking Steamworks in Berkeley, but each estbalishment has its adherents, and Steamworks is more convenient to San Francisco. The Watergarden is in an attractive part of town, near the Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center.
Cafe Flore - Castro Coffeehouses - Gay San Francisco Coffeehouses - Gay Cafe Flore - Cafe Flore Photos - Gay Castro Pictures - Flore Market Street
The convivial garden seating at Cafe Flore, a longtime gay San Francisco fixture in the Castro - a must for people-watching and inexpensive food and drink. The establishment opened in 1973 and is one of the best spots in town to grab coffee with friends, but there's also a full bar, live music some evenings, and an extensive menu American fare, from Kahlua pork hash at brunch to fish tacos and mac-and-cheese at dinner.
Cafe Nightclub San Francisco - Cafe Gay Bar Castro - San Francisco Boy Bar at Cafe - Cafe Lesbian Club Market Street - The Cafe Pan Dulce Latino Night
Bars come and go in San Francisco's Castro, but The Cafe, which occupies the expansive upper level of a building on Market Street (near the corner of Castro Street) has held its own for many years, serving an eclectic mix of lesbians and gay men of all ages. There's a somewhat younger scene here compared with other Castro gay bars, especially on Friday Boy Bar and Saturday Delicious parties (lesbian), and Thursday Pan Dulce (Latino) nights. The Cafe has a great little patio, a pool area.

Of San Diego's two gay bathhouses, Club San Diego has the location that's most central to the gay scene, as it's smack in the middle of Hillcrest, just a block off the main clubbing thoroughfare, University Avenue. The good-size cruise-fest comprises a couple of levels of action, with about 50 rooms and all the usual bathhouse facilities - multi-player hot tub, maze-like hallways, video areas screening the latest inspirational porn, lockers, a gym.

A futuristic-looking, mod restaurant and lounge along an uber-queer stretch of Market Street in the Castro, Lime can be counted on for delicious cocktails (and especially lively happy hours) - try the White Cosmo with Citron vodka, white cranberry juice, and lime, or the Kaffir Lime gimlet, a house specialty. It's open till midnight most evenings, and till 1 a.m. on weekends. Lime is very much a place to see and be seen, the the kitchen turns out very good contemporary American chow, too.

Two lesbians opened the bar, but it's had a mostly male following over the years, and these days it tends to draw a somewhat seasoned bunch of guys, and a few women.
