User Reviews for Twin Peaks Tavern

4 Star Rating: Recommended

07/29/2007 Posted by johndo

The vast expanse of glass at a prime location at Market and Castro provides incredible views of the comings and goings in the Castro. Also a great place to meet friends if you want to be able to hold a conversation with them - the din in the bar is never overwhelming. Drinks are good, but not an incredible value. Staff is friendly and welcoming - sometimes even hot. Great jukebox allowing you to play whatever music appeals to you. As with most SF bars, it isn't terribly large, so it doesn't take a huge amount of people to make the bar uncomfortably full. The upstairs is a nice place to get away from some of the crowd, but it can be very warm up there and difficult to get back through the bar to leave.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Glass Coffin, a.k.a. Twin Peaks, attracts a much older crowd and their younger admirers. It's well-lit, with a quiet, likeable atmosphere. The drinks are a little on the smallish side, but the potables are provided by a friendly (and sometimes hot) bartender. With lots of tables and chairs, it's not a standing-room-only type of bar, and it has an upstairs area for more secluded talks with a friend. Not much of a place to go alone, but the regulars and friendly patrons have a way of making you feel decent in an area known for pickup bars.

Pros: Quiet, pleasant ambiance, well-lit

Cons: It's definitely more of a senior crowd, but that's it's schtick.
