by Andrew Christian C. on Holy Babylon. This is the youngest-gayest-twinkyest-most oiled up club on the Castro. Since its reopening its a total cliche of the gay scene in SF which makes for some fun night and hilarious people watching. The drinks are over prices and the crowds are large. A must go for the Castro explorer.
by Amit S. on It was difficult deciding between a 3-star rating and a 4-star rating. It's a really good concept in that its different, fresh and a great way to give folks a chance to see the Academy in a different light, as well as have a place to hang out and just chill, listen to good music, eat, drink and relax. The GOOD, AWESOME, ROCK ON: 1. The Academy is beautiful inside during the night and you see it in a completely different light when compared to seeing it during the day 2. The Living Garden is the winner with the telescopes set up on the roof top. Got to see Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Venus... the last being my date... yuk! yuk! He's going to laugh when he reads this. The view on a clear night (it's the Inner Sunset folks, FOG is a way of life for us peeps who reside here) is spectacular 3. The Rain Forest always takes my breath away (its the humidity every time.. kidding!) with the multi-tiered levels, the pond below and all the greenery 4. I finally got to see the Penguins! What is it about them that makes even the most masculine and hardcore guys go "awww... so schweet!" 5. Overall energy was very good. The crowd was a great mix of eclectic, creative, nicely dressed, yuppy albeit a bit drunk and tipsy folks. But it was good fun to people watch. Noticed many couples, singles but mostly groups of friends which was great! 6. The bartenders were personable and friendly which was good to see since it was towards the end of the night and I'm sure they were tired. Kudos to the bartenders and the guides all through the Academy 7. Good music from the 80s and 90s that I was so pepped up to hear, but which also made me suddenly realize (both thankfully and fearfully)... I was Gen X... and now there's Gen Y, Z and beyond... whew! The NOT SO GOOD BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY: 1. Cocktails starting at $7 and going all the way to $15 without a tip made me think I was in the Castro on New Year's Eve wondering if there was a lap dance from a go-go boy to follow. But I've been part of events where the bar and bartenders are expensive, so its understandable 2. The signs (and boy! there were many) that said "No Food and Beverages Beyond This Point" makes perfect sense and good thinking on part of the Academy, but it did mean you either waited for 15 mins as you sipped your drink or took it down in one gulp to get to see the exhibhit (hence my comment on the "albeit drunk and tipsy) 3. Definitely a very crowded affair (and I thought my visit on New Year's Day was crowded). So if you get overwhelmed by large crowds, be wary its does get crowded... its a party, folks! 4. Overall execution was a bit poor The TIPS TO SAVE YOUR LIFE: 1. Yes, do buy your tickets online. You'll be thankful you did. 2. Last entry in is at 9PM and they start closing up at 930PM 3. Last entry into the Rain Forest is 8PM 4. They have a free coat check so please check in your bulky coat and that huge briefcase, or tote bag or messenger bag because it does get crowded 5. Bring cash ($40 or so) for you will need that for buying drinks (not sure about food) 6. Take a break and just sit down and relax and look at the fishes and you then really get the idea of a bigger picture and the world out there 7. Come early if you want to get into the Moss Room or the Planetarium 8. Good place to bring your date, friends or want to get away from the kids for the night and just chill All in all, I gave this a 4-star because this is still relatively new and I'm sure they're working out the kinks with each event that passes. At the end of the day, a lot of the restrictions and time closures are there for the benefit of the occupants and that makes perfect sense and I applaud the Academy for observing it so strictly.
