The Mint a San Francisco Bar of Dreams
The Mint SF Bar, has been an SF Karaoke hotspot for three decades and still going strong!

A San Francisco BAR with history
The Mint SF bar got its name from the Federal Mint (which prints money down the street). The Mint once was a fine dining restaurant that served Steak and Lobster. In the 90s it was taken over and converted into a karaoke bar much as you see it today. The Mint has hosted many LGBT events and competitions over the years and remains “an everyone’s welcome” safe, supportive establishment.
As an establishment, we are happy to serve the Bay Area as San Francisco’s best SF karaoke Lounge for over thirty years.
A San Francisco bar that welcomes everyone!
The Mint SF bar has been a long-time supporter of LGBTQIA+ rights and even was once a gay bar. The Mint continues the tradition of a gay-friendly destination that welcomes all individuals LGBTQIA+ or not to sing their hearts out from all over the globe. Celebrate Pride Month with us every year and wear your Pride colors to show your support!
