![]() Since it opened in 1966, the Stud has outlasted the shuttering of at least 159 other San Francisco bars, according to the crowdsourced map " Lost Gay Bars of San Francisco." It is the rare bar that has generated a legacy and reputation far greater than the sum of its parts, which is one reason why its July 3rd announcement that it may soon close, facing a 300 percent spike in rent, was as tragic as it was portentous for the state of the city's nightlife. That makes it all the more remarkable that the Stud, a gay bar in San Francisco's South of Market (SoMa) district, has stuck around for half a century, even as it becomes harder and harder for the city's queer spaces to survive.
