Toad Hall Bar is a gay bar located at 4146 18th Street in San Francisco's Castro District, in the U.S. state of California.[1][2]
History
[edit]The site at 4146 18th Street formerly housed The Pendulum.[3][4] Toad Hall's facade was restored in 2008, for the filming of Milk.[5]
The original Toad Hall bar was located at 482 Castro Street (now Walgreens) and was opened from 1971 until c. 1979.[6] The name Toad Hall was derived from the fictional home of Mr. Toad, a character in the 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.[6]
