Gay San Francisco - Polk Street area
An Sibin (R Bar?)
1176 Sutter Street
415-929-1992
Hours: 6 pm - 2 am every day.
I have searched high and low for more information regarding this bar/club, but to no avail. This is indeed the spot where An Sibin once resided, but there is a bar called R Bar there now. I tried locating information regarding the new bar, but it is not listed anywhere, and there has been no review of this place yet. If anyone has info regarding R Bar, I sure would love to know what it is all about, to share!
