​For that immediate post-work Cinco de Mayo crush, hit up Pisco Latin Lounge, which is within stalking distance of both Hayes Valley and the Castro. It's gay-friendly, and tends to attract stylish, non-age-specific types of all genders. There's generally a welcoming vibe for anyone who chooses to drape themselves on the low, sexy sofas in back, or saddle up to the bar seats. If you're, say, a mid-to-late 30s lady or gent who likes to doll up a little, you'll do fine here. Tomorrow's Cinco de Mayo happy hour deal is loooong, including $5 tequila sours and margaritas from 5 p.m. to midnight. Small Latin bites (we don't mean your date's neck) from chef-owner James Schenk will also be available.
