This bar right on the corner of Castro and Market has been around forever. It's significant because—to my knowledge—it was the world's first gay bar with full see-through windows, telling everyone, “We’re gay and we’re not afraid to be seen." It's a lounge with comfy sofas and a long bench where you can actually talk. Go in the afternoon on a sunny day and try for a window seat so you can watch the world go by.

Affectionately referred to as the "glass coffin", Twin Peaks is a must for any visitor to San Francisco. Located at the corner of Market and Castro St (Southeast corner across from the Chevron Station), it was the first bar to feature windows so patrons could see in and out. Google "Twin Peaks Tavern" and read about its history on Wikipedia.

The first gay bar in the US to have windows, putting it's patrons on display. This bar has a long history in the Castro and is featured on many tours. They also pour great drinks. Typically an older crowd and better suited toward having a nice cocktail and a good conversation.

Twin Peaks was the first openly gay bar in San Francisco. They literally tore the cardboard off the windows so people could see in and out, at great risk. We often stop in to this distinguished bar for a martini before heading downtown on the train to catch a show.

A little piece of history. "Twin Peaks Tavern, which first opened in 1935 but was purchased by Cunha and Forster in 1971, is believed to be the first gay bar in the nation to feature full-length, open plate glass windows that let its patrons look out, and more importantly, the public look in. The lesbian friends, known to most regulars as "the girls," opened the bar to the world at a time when many gays still feared losing their jobs or being socially ostracized if their sexual orientation was revealed. It has now survived for 40 years as one of the Castro district's most memorable and welcoming establishments." - SF Chronicle
