"Founded in 1962, Wild Side West is the oldest lesbian bar in San Francisco—and the US. The pub in funky Bernal Heights still buzzes with visitors crowding around the dim wooden bar, pool table, or the back garden, wild with greens and eclectic furniture. It was a welcoming space for older hippies and younger hipster lesbians alike. Now, folks of all ages and groups of locals come to unwind and lounge under quirky artwork depicting all types of women or spend weekends at drag shows and dance parties."
