Wild Side West bar at 424 Cortland Avenue - 2009

About This Item

Semi-famous lesbian bar. In the 1950s-1980s, Bernal Heights became known for a large lesbian resident population. This bar catered to them, though it was open to anybody in the neighborhood. Like many such bars in the city today, both gay and non-gay are comfortable in the same bar. Note the rainbow peace flag on the balcony above. See related slides for the context of the bar.
