The Cinch

The Cinch has a grand and gay history in San Francisco. Although the Castro is known as the gay epicenter in San Francisco, back in the 60's and 70's, it was Polk Street. And although Polk Street used to have many gay clubs and bars, The Cinch is the last one standing in that area, which makes it the second oldest gay bar in all of San Francisco. With a lively and fun staff and daily specials, like the Wednesday "Trailer Trash Special" ($5 PBR with a shot of well whiskey, free pool and free popcorn), it's a "cinch" that this bar will survive for many, many more years.
