$11 for a strong margarita is a deal

Everyone at the mix does a great job there. Especially the female bartender there she is very good at her jobeasy on the eyes too.....

Strong drinks, good music, I love that there's the outside part in the back. I wish they would rennovate the bathroom stalls though ?

Staff was incredibly rude to my friends and I. Apparently that kind of behavior from bartenders is pretty common at this bar. Don’t go here expecting a safe or good time. Plenty of way better bars around Castro as well to spend your money on.

Michael (apparently the manager or owner) RUDLY told my friend and I to shut up. We were having such a good time and he totally ruined the vibe. The bartender was so nice tho.

The manager, Michael, had the audacity to come over and shush my friend and I while we were having a good time conversing because he wanted to talk on his cell phone behind the bar instead of going into a back room. It ruined the mood and atmosphere of the entire bar.

THEY HAVE A PATIO!! Favorite spot in the Castro, hands down. Very friendly vibes unlike some of the other places, and I’ve always felt right at home, even though I don’t

Great local dive bar!! LGBTQ+ friendly and definitely where most of the Castro locals find themselves for a drink and meeting new people. The patio is definitely a nice place to sit and very fun vibe! A must go when you are in the Castro!!

What a pleasant way to end an emotional day. Stopped in late on Monday night (12-18) after seeing the Jinkx and Dela Holiday Show and the bartender Patrick was a delight. He was prompt and welcoming. Strong cocktails, kind words and his friendly smile meant the world delivering a sense of belonging, and he wasn't even aware of the tragic events of the day. My father passed earlier in the day after fighting with cancer for nearly 2 decades. Thank you Patrick and the Mix for helping to make it a day to remember, always! ❤️??? ??

I remember when this spot was called Uncle Bert's probably around the start of the millennium. It was a more rambunctious and disheveled place. Or maybe it was me who was more rambunctious and disheveled back then. It all blurs together in what's left of my brain. Currently it's more of a standard grade Castro gay bar but with two separate bars. The second one is outside in the back patio where most of the regulars congregate amid the permanent holiday lights. The owners refer to their establishment as "The Neighborhood Bar" on the awning, and it fits as most of the customers know each other and the veteran bartender quite well. I just sidled myself up to the main bar and ordered one of their $7 drinks (photo: It can get a bit loud and somewhat crowded during Happy Hour (no 2-4-1 though), but what I really appreciated was the huge restroom with multiple urinals available. Unfortunately the sink is adjacent to them, so depending on the gender and availability of the person washing up, there could be awkward furtive glances exchanged. Or you could get lucky. Who knows when you're in The Mix? DRINKS - 3 stars...a bit on the weak side but reasonably priced AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...big on rainbows here SERVICE - 4 stars...pleasant and busy TOTAL - 3 stars...what's in The Mix?

Sadly I can't say anything good about this place my husband and I went last night around 9 and I was so excited to go but unfortunately won't be going back the guy at the bar was rude didn't great us and instead of telling us the bar was closed he walked up to us as if he was going to help but puts a sign saying bar closed and walked away with a attitude and started talking to other people.I was so confused of why the attitude.So we just went to Dick bar much better service
