Lookout

Why is Lookout consistently ranked among the most beloved queer bars in the city? It’s probably the location, a second-story perch surveying a massive six-way intersection in the Castro and all who sashay across it. But it could also be the way the kitchen at this incomparably vivacious spot churns out carnitas tacos, Tex-Mex queso, and “deep-fried bourbon shots” - fries with bacon-caramel sauce - alongside the boozy slushes and actual bourbon shots served at the bar.
