Bear or not, the Lone Bone (er . . .Star) is the best in SF. Great guys, fabulous bartenders (Bobby is the nicest guy around, Louie should be a stand-up comic, and Jimmy is a sweetheart), and wonderful music (how many bars do you know play Donovan's "Sunshine Superman"?). Sunday beer bust (4-8) is a must, but Saturday's beer bust (3-7) ain't bad either. Another "don't miss" is Bobby's Xmas Toys for Tots night. It'll warm your heart to see 240-pound bears bring in Barbie dolls for poor kids. The only bummer is when the rainy season comes and they have to put that damn awning up over the patio.
Mecca for bears, worldwide -- with good reason! A woofy, easy-going crowd, top bartenders, fun eclectic music and a great patio! Don't miss beer busts Sat 3-7 & Sun 4-8.
I love this place! It's one of the few places around where most of the fellas have a smile on their face. That speaks volumes. I've been coming up there from the south bay for a few years, and enjoy the Lone Star experience every time. Some friends of mine from LA have gotten turned on to this bar as well. I find it great to hang any day of the week as they have MNF, South Park, and Thursday's beer bust with occasional pj/boxer bash. On the weekend, the beer busts on a warm sunny day should never be missed! Thanks so my to Gerry and the staff for providing such a gay haven!
