I travel to San Francisco every year and I "never leave home without Betty & Pansy"! They get down to the nitty gritty and give you a feel of what each venue is like and the customers who frequent it. The "Review" is indispensible for any gay or lesbian going to the city by the bay.

Betty and Pansy have written the best, most helpful guide to SF for tourists, people who have moved here and long-time residents alike. It contains reviews of every gay and lesbian bar in town (there are over 70!) as well as bookstores, cruising spots clubs, etc. B&P have been there so you can know in advance whether its worth the trip! The book is written in a witty, irreverent style that, in addition to being incredibly helpful, makes it a scream to read. If you buy no other travel guide for your trip to SF, get B&P! They rule!

As a former resident of SF, I thought it captured the mood of the city and I liked the sassy writing style.

This was an excellent and very comprehensive review of everything (and I mean everything) about the gay scene in San Francisco. Unfortunately, it was written in 1996 and is now quite out of date and needs revision.

The chapters on the bars and sex clubs are good as are the chapters on restaurants and places to stay but call ahead - many of the places mentioned have closed.

Still worth buying - just be a little cautious before getting yourself into a compromising position.

Betty and Pansy told it ALL! Everything was true! They saved me so much time in finding out the places I really wanted to be and sites I wanted to see. I only wish I had known of their review of New York before I went!

How could I not LOVE IT!!! I will proudly tell you that I am the "Naomi" named in the book and that every story about every place mentioned is absolutely true!! I even know who the others are that are nicknamed in the various chapters...so watch it. Betty goes to great lengths to bring you the real flavor and spin in the City. Her reviews are brutally honest and they set a high mark for those wishing to make a good impression. This book is must for all those coming to the City. I have even seen one queen reading her copy at the table in Zuni (the restaurant) and grilling the poor waiter/actor/model about all those mentioned in the review!! Grab a Copy Today.
