Gay San Francisco Before the Party
Start in SoMa for the leather scene, or spend the early evening in the Castro before heading to Club Six.
- SF Eagle – A long-running meeting place for San Francisco’s leather and kink community at 398 12th Street. Its patio makes it a good starting point for drinks and conversation before the club.
- 440 Castro – A neighbourhood gay bar at 440 Castro Street, welcoming locals and visitors. A useful starting point for an evening around Castro Street and 18th Street.
- The View Lounge – For cocktails before heading out, the Marriott Marquis’s 39th-floor lounge pairs city views with small plates. It suits an earlier, seated start to the evening.
Where to Stay
Choose SoMa or the southern edge of Union Square for convenient access to Club Six. The Castro suits visitors planning to spend much of the weekend around the neighbourhood’s gay bars.
- Hotel Zetta – A design-focused boutique hotel at 55 Fifth Street. Its location works well for the party, shopping around Market Street and visits to SFMOMA.
- San Francisco Marriott Marquis – A full-service option on Mission Street, with The View Lounge upstairs for cocktails overlooking the city. A practical choice for combining the party with a downtown weekend.
- InterContinental San Francisco – Located at 888 Howard Street beside Moscone Center, with a pool and fitness centre. A good choice for travellers who prefer a larger hotel with room to unwind between nights out.
