Funny I have been living for some time in SF and never stepped inside the Last Call. Luckily I didnt wait until the last call to give this place a try. I love the fact that its low key, no drama. Great selection of top shelf spirits and many brands which you typically dont get to see in other bars. In addition, very knowledgeable bartenders who know and love their craft. Four thumbs up, oops I see double, two thumbs up.

Who needs Grindr, Scruff, Growlr, etc when you have a bar where everyone is approachable? Jonathan, the bartender, is amazing. He’s cute too.I don’t think they serve food which is why I left that part above.

The cocktails here are top-notch! (A rarity for the Castro.) Make sure to try one of the cocktails off of the menu on the chalkboard at the center of the bar. Sometimes it’s so busy that you can barely find standing room, which can still be fun, but for the peak experience, come at a slow time when there are seats at the bar. My only complaint is that sometimes they’re running one bartender when they should be running two. Overall: a hidden gem.

Fun bar with a great ambiance in the Castro. Its an everybody bar where, no matter who you are, you can have a great time. The bartenders are lovely. The owners are super nice.

Nice bar.Nobody in when we turned up but then it was 15:15 on. Monday afternoon.Harry Potter silent on TV and the Psychedelic Furs playing over the speakers followed by Yazoo.Chilled.

This is my go-to spot in the Castro for a well crafted cocktail, good conversations and fun. I always end up meeting with and talking to so many random people. And the fact that I can order a Paper Plane, Naked and Famous, Aviation, or a Last Word with the bartenders not blinking in confusion is priceless - CJ in particular is the BEST.Bonus points for the content on their TVs where you never know what random movie on DVD will be playing from Death Becomes Her to Rat Race to random horror flicks.

I dropped in to Last Call a few days ago for the first time. Its a small and cozy bar with friendly patrons and a knowledgeable bartender. I was impressed with the collection of whiskey, tequila and gin on the shelves. Had a quick drink and was on my way. Made me wish I had arrived earlier into the evening to try their spicy margarita. Would definitely recommend!

Hands down my favorite bar in the Castro. Friendly and nice bartenders, great music on the jukebox, sports or random movies on the tv’s, dog friendly, nice owners, and usually not packed. Specialty top shelf cocktails, your standard mixed drink menu, and decent draft and bottled beer selection.Recommend for a quick drink during the day, a mid-date stop for some conversation, beginning a night, or as the name suggests, last stop.

The queer bar for everyone. It’s my favorite neighborhood spot on an afternoon, late night and everything in between. The bartenders are friendly and warm, the crowd is a spectrum of young, old, eclectic and everything you come to love about San Francisco. Its always easy to talk to new folks or have a chill night with your date. And I love that It’s got an active juke box that people actually use 👏 all the charm of a dive bar but verrry good cocktails, daily specials, clean floors, up kept and not grimey at all

Love this bar! The staff members are super friendly, they are dog-friendly (YAY!), and the drinks are great. I love that they also have a juke box and fireplace. It feels cozy and comfortable with a diverse mix of patrons. Def a place to stop in for a friendly neighborhood drink- or three 😉

Last Call is a real gem of a neighborhood bar. Their drinks are top notch, reasonably priced, and the jukebox never disappoints.

What a cute place! Pretty small but wasn’t packed at all on a Saturday night. Great chill vibe if you’re just looking to get a great drink and hang without the bumpin music of Castro 😂

Very chill spot within walking distance of the party bars. Definitely fitting of its name! I didnt order anything on my quick visit, but would definitely go back if I wanted something quiet near Castro.

Up until my latest experience, this bar was a 5 star place. I’m by no means a regular, but I have been several times now and have always had a great time. The vibes are chill, welcoming, and their drinks are great. Whenever I have friends in town or the group doesn’t know where we should go, I always suggest Last Call. But this most recent time I went, our experience with the bartender wasn’t the best. My friends and all (all POC) were met with pushback from the bartender regarding our IDs. I’m never upset when someone asks for my ID, but the bartender was saying snarky comments about our IDs being from different states and straight up saying to one of my friends, “this looks fake, but I’ll take it.” We tried chatting to her about how we all met in college, but she brushed us off in an unfriendly way that I’d never experienced before by the bartenders here. I noted that all of us were POC because the encounter led us to a discussion about how 3 of them often get their IDs checked and get rude comments which can often be attributed to Asian infantilisation. It threw a wrench in our night and my perspective of the place — that even a great place has its faults.

Im so happy that someone jumped in to keep this gem of a bar open. Tiny bars are my favorite in SF, and there really arent many of them... This and the Black Horse London Pub are the only 2 that jump to mind, and that has a similar story of a client taking the reins to keep it from closing. Thats heritage!

Its easy for me to walk here. Harder to walk home since its so hilly around the part of Castro. Fun to go and watch people sloppily hit on each other. Not a real dive bar but not super classy either. Somewhere in between, which is just fine with me.

Great place! Very small and private, the staff is very sweet and the atmosphere is great. I feel safe here too since it is LGBTQ+ friendly.

The last gay bar on the 18th street stretch of Castro. Opens up around midnight and closes after... last call. A quiet little dive, this place is no-frills, but after a night out in Castro, you wont notice. Lost my phone in Castro one night, and spent the next day hungover and looking for the bar that called my housemate to say I left it at last call. Turns out I forgot I was actually at Last Call Bar.

Negronis? Top shelf whiskeys? They got the things. The front open greening is a Feng shui plus plus. Drink here.
