SF Castro 0735a

Twin Peaks bar has had the same reputation for the 3 decades I've know of it -- it's often labeled "the crystal coffin" because of its stereotype as a bar for older gay men. Its clientele, however, is more mixed in age than the stereotype -- and on a cold and rainy afternoon or evening, it's an ideal location for a hot-toddy and watching the world go by. It's at the corner of Castro/17th/Market. (Part of a series of photos documenting the parts of the Castro district that have been significant parts of gay culture since at least the 1980's.)
