Another venerable Castro club (not as old as Herman Melville, don't worry), Moby Dick is known for its 2 for 1 frozen margaritas. With a deal like that, even Ahab could forget about his white whale to drink, laugh and dance the night away at this San Francisco institution. Moby Dick is a as venerated and renowned in the gay community as the Castro itself, so there's not much to say about this infamous bar that's not already been said. We'll say this, though: even with all the newer clubs popping up all over town, Moby Dick still holds its own and is well worth a visit.
