Pecs Bar

Popped in here a couple of weeks ago for a drink and ended up coming back two more times while in town. Thank you Jasper for being for being an excellent host and bartender. We’ll be back!

Food is on the bottom level from a separate family owned kitchen. I had the burger. It was juicy and incredibly tasty. Drinks were on point, not to strong. Atmosphere was great! Incredible out door areas. Super friendly staff!

My favorite not so dive dive bar in SD. Pecs is a very welcoming, friendly, burly beary gay bar in North Park. It's got great music, two bars, two patios, several restrooms and good eats when available. The staff is great, even the security guy is nice. Parking can leave much to be desired, but it's always worth stopping in. A Lyft or even Uber can do wonders as well as traveling with a group. Saturdays and Sundays seem to be the busiest, though the outside areas close by 10pm, being on the cusp of a residential area. Check them out on Facebook and Instagram as well as their website, though the website needs a smidge of updating. Leather bar-esque. All are welcome!

I asked the bartender for a Manhattan and he didn’t know how to make one. I mean…I know this isn’t a craft cocktail bar, but FFS hire bartenders who know how to make basic drinks. FWIW the bartender was nice enough (if unqualified) and the bar itself has good vibes. So just get a beer or a drink with no more than two ingredients, I guess?

Great bar with great vibes, friendly staff & locals. As far as other reviews go, I had no hesitation in going & had a very good time. Go with a “gracious guest” attitude and you will find that you will be welcomed warmly. Locals I know highly recommend this bar & they are not wrong. Best bar I’ve been to in a long time. Cheers!
