About this activity

New to the city - or just ready to see how the Castro really does nightlife? Figuring out where to go, when to go, and which spots match your vibe can be a bit of a mission. That’s where this tour comes in.

Think of it as a night out with a local friend - the one who actually knows the scene, knows the bars, knows the crowd, and definitely knows where the fun is. You’ll explore the Castro through the eyes of a local guide who’s been part of the nightlife scene for years, with insider tips on what happens where, which places are best at what time, and where you’ll want to make your grand entrance.

We’ll hop between a few bars depending on the time of night and what the group is in the mood for, so the experience stays flexible, social, and full of good surprises.

Required: Bring a valid ID proving you’re of legal drinking age - you’ll need it to get into the bars.
