About
The Black Cat Bar or Black Cat Café was a bar in San Francisco, California. It originally opened in 1906 and closed in 1921. The Black Cat re-opened in 1933 and operated for another 30 years. During its second run of operation, it was a hangout for Beats and bohemians but over time began attracting more and more of a gay clientele, and becoming a flashpoint for what was then known as the homophile movement, a precursor to the gay liberation movement that gained momentum in the 1960s.

Tips
“Really great wee bar. Really nice, relaxed place and super friendly, very honest staff. I (stupidly!) handed over 500 baht thinking it was a 100 note!” — Brian Powrie, Google
