El Rio is so reliable, it could be your in case of emergency contact. This place was once a divey lesbian bar, but at this point it attracts a pretty diverse crowd.

It’s both the answer to any protracted group negotiations about where to go out, and a solid solution to San Francisco’s severe lack of of bars with viable outdoor space.
