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.
