Wild Side West: A Hidden Gem in Bernal Heights for Dive Bar Enthusiasts

Lovely lesbian and everyone bar! Had a delightful time catching a drink and watching a few old movies. They do play sports when a good game is on! Plus they have a pool table and a neat outside chill spot! If you're in the area, stop in!

I've lived in the neighborhood for years and this was my first time visiting. Now it's my favorite new bar! The outdoor garden seating is probably the best I've hung out in the whole city. They've created little seating areas for people to group themselves in so there's nice separation from one another. Great drink selections and you're supporting a local business owner. Super supportive of the LGBTQIA community which is great for any establishment.

Had a fantastic time! Good drinks, great conversation, best lgbtq+ bar we visited on our trip! Bartender Cheryl was fantastic. Waltz through the back gardens, enjoy the ambiance, would visit again!

Honestly, my favorite SF bar so far. Pros: Cozy, laid back atmosphere, amazing outdoor sitting are - an actual little garden. Decent choice of beers. Cons: usually one bartender, so if the place is crowded, the service will be very slow.

Wonderful clean dive with lovely friendly bartenders and locals. I went when it was fairly empty, which made conversation easier, but folks went out of their way to be welcoming. Crowd skews older , which likely added to the chill vibes, but meant it didn’t feel like a pickup place (for better or worse).

Great stop when we are on Cortland. The bartender was nice. There were TVs playing the warriors game. During half time, we went to the back patio that also has a set of stairs leading to a garden. The garden is divided into more intimate sections with an eclectic collection of benches and tables.

A San Francisco legacy business; old school lgbt hangout with plenty of TVs to watch Niners and Warriors games. The decor is full of beautiful nostalgia; one of the TVs is dedicated to either Xena or some hilarious b-movie with Bigfoot. Excellent drinks (amazing margaritas and whiskey sours) and top class service. Love this place; A+++

Fun, cute place! Classic dive bar vibes inside and a huge outdoor garden area with lots of little nooks with seating for different size groups that create some privacy. Beautiful space to hang out.
