$1 Oyster Happy Hour on the Waterfront, Mon./Thurs.

Courting Bill W.- Two-4-One Fun at the Midnight Sun

Among the Castro bars, the Midnight Sun earns marks for consistency.  Atmospherically, it can best be described as a giant television.  There is never any natural daylight inside, as that there aren’t any windows, and it boasts no less than five television sets with either a constant rotation of gay
