Very strong drinks and attentive staff. Visited here and was able to make great conversation with patrons each time (and made friends!). If you're looking for a fun atmosphere, this is the place for you.

We ended up here after an amazing pride weekend on Sunday night. We got inside and found a table to sit, ordered drinks and continued to have an amazing night. We were approached by a security guard who told us that he would be watching us which struck us as odd but we brushed it off not wanting anything to ruin our perfect day. We stepped outside for a smoke break and to catch a breath of fresh air we were across from the entrance the entire time. As we approached the front door to go back inside security stopped us and asked if we had been escorted out which was confusing as hell so we asked him why would we have been escorted out and wouldn't his co-workers have let him know not to let us back in of in fact we had been escorted out. To which he replied "well y'all look mad" which was a complete lie because we were laughing and joking with each other as we had been doing all day. After that we decided to end our night early because our amazing vibe was ruined by us being racially profiled for simply trying to have fun. put a sour taste in my mouth. We were three African can American women

I have never been the one to write a review but I got my phone stolen from my pocket last night and so did 15+ people. I asked people all around the area hoping to retrieve my iPhone, only to find out so many people also got their phones stolen. Security said they couldn't do anything about it. Over 15 people got their phones stolen and some also their wallets, yet you can't do anything about it??? How do 15+ stolen phones get passed security? It does not make sense

Meh. Such a poor experience for pride. Cash only cover (okay fine) but if I’m paying I’d really appreciate a decent DJ. The playlist was tired. my Spotify random mix gives me a livelier dance vibe, if I’m honest.

We had a situation with HENRY, one of the bartenders. We just wanted to have a great karaoke night, and my friend started feeling unwell. She isolated herself as the music was very loud, she wasn’t bothering anyone. HENRY said we had to leave the place immediately. I was getting my friend and HENRY got very rude and agressive, pushing my other friend as we were just asking him to give us 5 minutes to book a Uber. He grabbed my arm as I was just trying to go back to the bar to get my bag. I was shocked that he got physical even tho we haven’t done anything wrong. Even his colleague at the bar felt embarrassed about this whole situation. Great place, but because of its terrible staff, would never come back and make sure neither my friends will.

Great place with a view. Food is good and large portions. Great for sharing.

Cute bar with a terrace overlooking Castro crossroads... Design is nice. Hoping it'll be busier next time I visit, I believe it lacked numbers due to covid

Fabulous drag show and drinks!!!

Love coming to Lookout. Food is always great, drinks are always strong. The actual lookout area (balcony?) is rather large and has a good view.

This was so much fun!!!!!!!! The food is good along with the drinks!!! The show was great and me and the girls decided to go here at least twice a month.
