What People Are Saying About Moby Dick
The Owner
Moby Dick
Owner
For over twenty-five years, Moby Dick has been a fixture in San Francisco's Castro District. A friendly, down-to-earth neighborhood bar with a reputation for a fun and diverse crowd, personable staff, enticing drink specials, and . . . well an awesome 300 gallon saltwater aquarium overlooking the bar- a must see.
Known for a place to meet old and new friends and staring at fish, you can enjoy a few games of pool, some pinball, or trying your luck against Mega Touch Maxx's touchscreen trivia.

The Scene
Assorted regulars, middle-aged (gay) average Joes and the usual pick-me-up-and-take-me-home mob share space in this dark, cramped bi-level room which houses a pool table, pinball machines, TVs blasting videos (think Britney Spears and Madonna) and a gigantic aquarium above the bar. Although crowded, folks here are decidedly more casual than some Castro Street offerings; they're more interested in kicking back and enjoying the incredible drink deals. Local art, at times gay-centric, adorns the walls.
The Draw
This laid-back drinking den has been around for more than 25 years and has its formula down pat. Crowds come back for casual drinks at reasonable prices.

the place was very noisy, dusty people and "guarra"... but at last, the croisants were very good. I don't know why the boss don't call to the order or police...

Simply put, it's the best bar in the City an the only bar for me. The prices can't be beat and the bartenders are too cute.
