El Rio
A beloved queer Mission institution since the '70s, famous for its huge heated back patio, cheap drinks and zero-pretense energy. Runs themed dance parties (Charli XCX nights, salsa Sundays), live music and house DJs like David Harness, plus fundraisers and community events constantly. Nobody's too cool to dance here, which is exactly why people keep coming back. Cash-friendly bar, get there before the patio fills on party nights.
