Always a blast at Badlands. Even when the rest of the Castro is quiet (which is more often than one might think), Badlands is almost always hoppin' later in the night. And you can dance here!
"For the bear or daddy type, no one else" ... I think that's an over-generalization. I've been here many times and I actually find the vibe fun, relaxed, & accepting. Don't be scared, it's a blast.
Best views in the Castro (both of city life and eye candy). Nights in the Castro or after-Brunch cocktails always seem to begin at the Lookout for me and my peeps. Great atmosphere, booze, and views.
