Underground Sf
Underground SF is made for being yourself (be it hippie-dyke, trannie, pretty boy or college kid) and letting said self go. Highly danceable sounds range from new wave to dark electro to drum 'n bass. The small dance floor can get overpacked, but no one'll push you out, and you can always escape to the smoking patio. In darker corners of the club things can get even steamier. Saturdays, the hottest boys in town head to its infamously messy dance party, Drunk & Horny.

$3 Bill Cafe
Squishy couches, strong coffee, free wireless and smiley staff invite you to join San Francisco history in progress: sparkle subversively with Radical Faeries; organize Green Party bake sales with moms' groups; and stitch and bitch with SF's sharpest knit wits. Don't be shy about stepping up and out on Queer Open Mike, the second and fourth Fridays of the month - you're among friends here.

The Café
The pool tables were just replaced because go-go dancers tore them to shreds - uh-huh, it's that kind of place, has been for decades. The eclectic mix sometimes lapses into interminable house numbers; grab a test-tube shot and pace yourself until the samba whistles kick in. Anyone in hot pants is welcome, though Fridays favor fellas and every third Saturday is an all-lesbian tea dance.

The Transfer
Once seedier than the guy trying to sell late-night Muni transfers out front, this divey joint has gotten prettified in a smeared-lipstick Courtney Love way. Your Muni ticket will expire long before you figure out the various orientations of the crowd gyrating to rock-hip-hop mash-ups. On Mondays, that defunct ticket will get you any drink half price.

The Bar
Mini-playground for the Castro's mixed young and restless, this bar walks the line between trashy and cool. Hanging from ceiling poles you'll find cocktail tables, not strippers; cheesy red padded walls oddly counter the screensaver-esque backdrop at the bar. But the flirts here are more interested in each other than the decor.
