The Stud Bar

The Stud Bar opened in 1966- 3 years before the Stonewall Riots in New York. Historically a bar where Everyone Is Welcome- The Stud was the first gay bar in SF to play punk music, it hosted Trannyshack for many years and most recently made history when it was saved from eviction by a worker-owner cooperative. It is now the first worker-owned queer bar, and queer venue in the United States.
