Drinks & Nightlife

A great rum bar that is pirate/nautical themed. This place is very hidden -- no signs on the street or awning, blacked out windows and doors. Just a guy standing outside waiting to check ID's.

The BEST bar in Hayes Valley/SF, hands down. Marlena's is an old timey SF gay bar with stiff drinks. They have a drag show Friday and Saturday nights, so get their early to grab a spot.

I always walked by Sugar and just wrote it off, but I came in the other night and had such a great time (and drink!). They have small plates, so you could grab a drink and appetizer before dinner.

There are two Bars in Hayes Street - Marlena's and Place Pigalle. Place Pigalle is everything that Marlena's isn't. So, if you're not into drag queens, try Place Pigalle.
