Great selection of booze behind the bar, and probably the best juke box in the Castro!

Great place! Very small and private, the staff is very sweet and the atmosphere is great. I feel safe here too since it is LGBTQ+ friendly.

I'm so happy that someone jumped in to keep this gem of a bar open. Tiny bars are my favorite in SF, and there really aren't many of them... This and the Black Horse London Pub are the only 2 that jump to mind, and that has a similar story of a client taking the reins to keep it from closing. That's heritage!

Up until my latest experience, this bar was a 5 star place. I’m by no means a regular, but I have been several times now and have always had a great time. The vibes are chill, welcoming, and their drinks are great. Whenever I have friends in town or the group doesn’t know where we should go, I always suggest Last Call. But this most recent time I went, our experience with the bartender wasn’t the best. My friends and all (all POC) were met with pushback from the bartender regarding our IDs. I’m never upset when someone asks for my ID, but the bartender was saying snarky comments about our IDs being from different states and straight up saying to one of my friends, “this looks fake, but I’ll take it.” We tried chatting to her about how we all met in college, but she brushed us off in an unfriendly way that I’d never experienced before by the bartenders here. I noted that all of us were POC because the encounter led us to a discussion about how 3 of them often get their IDs checked and get rude comments which can often be attributed to Asian infantilisation. It threw a wrench in our night and my perspective of the place — that even a great place has its faults.

I think this is the best bar in the Castro. The music is excellent, the staff are very friendly and make great drinks. And sometimes they ply people with popcorn which is always a hit with me. It’s such a lovely little neighborhood bar where you can actually have a conversation with people. A great place for a date.

Love this bar! The staff members are super friendly, they are dog-friendly (YAY!), and the drinks are great. I love that they also have a juke box and fireplace. It feels cozy and comfortable with a diverse mix of patrons. Def a place to stop in for a friendly neighborhood drink- or three ?

Nice neighbirhood type bar

Ao happy to see a true SF neighborhood bar like this back open again! And even more so by incredibly friendly local owners who are just amazing?❤️

Just walked by and saw a notice of application for change of ownership (photo posted). I really hope the new owners keep the awesome chill vibe this place had.

Best bar in the Castro. Cozy vibes and bar tenders who know how to make a drink. Keep your money queer; bring cash.
