San Francisco's North Beach and the Tenderloin Carry the Adult Scene

San Francisco's North Beach and the Tenderloin Carry the Adult Scene

North Beach along Broadway has been San Francisco's adult-entertainment strip since the '60s — the Condor Club (where Carol Doda famously introduced topless dancing in 1964), Hustler Club SF, and a cluster of other clubs run along Broadway between Columbus and Kearny. The historic signage along the block is part of San Francisco's cultural record.

California law separates topless-with-alcohol from full-nude juice-bar. SF's North Beach strip runs both formats side-by-side. The Tenderloin has additional adult-oriented venues in a rougher neighborhood context.

Uber in, Uber out. Broadway itself is safe; the Tenderloin side-streets are not. Stick to the main strip.
