San Francisco Castro Nightlife Bar Crawl

If you are new to the city and or visiting, it's usually hard to figure out where to go for a night out in the Castro. This tour is made to answer your questions about where and when to go.
You will experience the Castro bars in the eyes of a local guide that has been in the scene for many years. It would feel like you are visiting a local friend that has plenty of tips for you.

You'll have insights on what happens where. Moreover, you'll be informed on when to go to certain places. We'll be visiting at least 5 bars depending on the time and the guests' preference.

It would be a night to remember... or forget, depending on the number of drinks you'll want to consume that night. :)

Required: ID that will confirm that you are of age to drink. It will be needed to able to enter the bars.
