About

The Cinch is the perfect place to bring old friends, and make new ones. Plus you can catch some of the city's most beloved queens here. The last remainder of San Francisco's forgotten gayborhood, the Cinch still pays homage to its Old Guard roots but is no longer just for leather daddies.

Patio Bar

So, every time I have to leave SF for a while... this is the first place I go when I get back. The staff have become friends, the customers have become people I know and expect, and the DOGS!!!! Probably one of the most dog friendly place... and I loves me some four legged furry things!!!! The smoking patio is lovely, usually with sun on one side and shade on the other. All in all it is a mellow bar, with some diverse characters...

First time back in 5 years

Friday was the most diverse crowd I have seen in a gay bar in a long time......It reminded me of old times in San Francico ......I would highly suggest going there on friday.Bartenders are very friendly and there is no attitude here.....The bar has so many different types of people and it is obvious people go there for that...Every one interacts well and the back patio is a smokers paradise...

Fun Fun Fun and Nice too

This is a great spot with a friendly bar staff and a party like crowd. This is the kindda place where you can go alone or with a group of friends. I like the dance music on Fridays with a very old fashion drag show. I would say Fridays is the most party night with Saturday very laid back pool shooting crowd. So if you're an old drag queen like me or new meat on the block this is where your Polk st. night should start and your Fridays should be spent. * * *
