About this place Pilsner Inn

The Pilsner Inn is a neighbourhood gay bar at 225 Church Street in Duboce Triangle, a few blocks from the heart of the Castro. It is known for a long list of beers on tap, cheap-for-San-Francisco drinks, a pool table and darts. Out back there is a patio, and it is one of the few places in the area where smokers gather. The crowd is mostly locals and it is relaxed rather than a dance spot, busiest after work and on weekend afternoons when sports are on. The Church Street Muni stop is outside, and the bars of Market and Castro streets are a short walk away.

Cutest lil’ booth to catch up with our friend. This is Frenchy The Pug, 15/16. She slept the whole time but gave us a photo opportunity for just a moment. Guinness on tap. Enough said. It was our first time here. We will be going back.

A favorite bar and really the only gay dive bar in the Duboce neighborhood as a cherished local haunt. They have ample outdoor space, a pool table, and a killer happy hour.
