For decades, San Francisco has had a versatile gay and lesbian scene, varying from bouncin' nightclubs to rugged leather-and-chain bars to laid-back lounges. The scene has always been flourishing with an assortment of various interests. Check out the Cafe Flore on Market Street before nightfall and find an evening partner. If you're in the mood for a little disco when the evening arrives, there is always the Esta Noche on 16th. Then there is the Mezzanine which features a variety of styles from shirtless to bushy-haired queens dancing about the scene. A popular spot for a lesbian rendezvous is the Lexington Club on 19th St. At any rate, San Francisco's Gay & Lesbian scene caters to a variety of different styles and preferences.
