Lesbian dance club san francisco
San Francisco, CA Open from 2PM - 2AM. Opened in by out and proud lesbians, Pat Ramseyer and Nancy White, every night is a blend of lesbians, locals, eclectic art and neighborhood sports bar. On any given night you may find a local fundraising event, a friendly game of pool or a low-key crowd hanging out in the magical backyard garden.
Sports fans will appreciate the 2 flat screens on game day and music lovers will enjoy the net-connected jukebox's wide selection of songs. The bar has two outdoor spaces, the patio on the ground level and the sculpture-filled beer garden downstairs. At that time, being out and running a lesbian bar was still a radical act, and a few neighbors at first protested by leaving broken toilets and dumping other household objects in front of the bar.
Pat and Nancy took these items and turned them into art, decorating the beer garden downstairs and defiantly refusing to back down. Bernal Heights has become an amazingly welcoming, diverse neighborhood that embraces the bar and its GLBT pride.

Likewise, the bar owner and staff are actively engaged in the community. The Wild Side West has continued to build up its signature art-covered walls, ceiling, and outdoor sculpture garden. The art pieces have changed and grown organically over the years, and you will always see something new or different around.
Sadly, Pat and Nancy have both passed away, but the Wild Side West continues to be lesbian-owned and committed to continuing their legacy and spirit.
