The best spot on a sunny day
I fell in love with this bar back when it was Metro, but Lookout has upheld the scene pretty well. Good dance / pop music, great place to hang out with your friends and run into people. The balcony is great for people watching, especially on holidays (Halloween, Bay 2 Breakers, Castro Street Fair, etc).
Has potential
We were there on a Sunday night and the place was rather dead, which was too bad, because they have a nice outside deck with a view of the Castro.
Best views in the Castro (both of city life and eye candy). Nights in the Castro or after-Brunch cocktails always seem to begin at the Lookout for me and my peeps. Great atmosphere, booze, and views.
Lookout is always a good time!
Saturdays are social club and that always draws a crowd. Brain Farts Trivia hosted by Pollo del mar is always fun and entertaining.
Good for socializing.
I had mixed feelings after entering. There was plenty of music in the small bar and thr lights were going like it was expected that you were on acid. I found nothing more than people standing round in groups trying to have a conversation with friends over the music. No one was dancing (and there frankly was no room to try) i found myself eacaping to the patio for some fresh air as it was hot and muggy inside due to the large stagnent crowd. The drinks were strong and fairly priced. I felt the focus of this "club" needs to be re-thought. For a friday night there should have been a party, not a gathering. All in all i felt the lookout (with some focus) would be a place worth visiting again.
