Walking Tour: Unspeakable Vice

Public Tickets $30, SFHS Members $10

Join this unique tour, which explores the early history of gay and lesbian culture in San Francisco. Find out why North Beach was a vitally important hub for the gay community!

Starting at the San Francisco Historical Society, we’ll zig zag our way by more than a dozen lost queer bars, concluding with a round of drinks at the site an infamous lesbian hook-up spot on Grant. Hear how the “unspeakable vice” of the Victorians found its place and, through the process, gained a voice. 

Starts at 608 Commercial St. and ends at Maggy McGary’s pub at 1353 Grant Ave in North Beach. This exciting new tour includes a FREE drink at Maggy McGary's, included in the tour price.
