The Stud

It’s an iconic place with a fun environment. Personally I didn’t have a great time as the venue looks a bit run down. The performances where great and the staff friendly.

We didn’t have a lot of time in San Francisco but wanted to experience this historical gay bar. It did not disappoint these two Scottish tourists. Tuesday early evening so not busy but what a welcome and pleasant few drinks we had. Bernadette (big shout out) on the bar was very attentive, friendly and even gave us a tour and some history of the place and even recommended places to go. Gays please get out and support this venture! Very friendly gay space!

Tons of space. I came in as it opened. Barkeep was very accommodating as I was just looking for a space to study. He set of a table next to an outlet. I’d be drunk and smart if I lived here 🙂

Friday night, $20 just to get into this bar, is unbelievable!!! Of course, we didn't have a chance to experience this old, dark, dirty place!

Best bar I've been to, hands down. The staff are amazing and the atmosphere is friendly while being laid back and hopping at the same time. There are great shows from local artists and performers most nights of the week, and a well stocked pool table for lazy nights with good beer. Shame on you for not giving this amazing business more of your well deserved attention.

I always have a blast when I go. The first time I went they had furry night. Everyone in animal costumes. It was amazing. Nice and dark inside. Cozy corners. 1 closed toilet and a trough for the men's room. Beer prices are avg, drinks r a bit pricey. Nice dance floor. Nice place

Saw my friends perform here for fourth of July drag show. It's always packed wall to wall. Door person was sweet, bartender was friendly. I live for the day when I can perform on stage at the stud!! Love this place ❤️
