I specifically went here to check out what i thought was a Goth clothing store but realized, it was yet another vintage clothing store. I felt rather uncomfortable in this area. Lots of loitering hippies (as expected i guess) openly dealing their goods while invading everyone's space. I also thought most stores were surprisingly expensive. I was happy to find a HUGE record store but, wasn't impressed with what they had. Glad i visited because of the history but, i would recommend to stay clear if visiting.

My 19 year old son and I spent a fun afternoon walking down Haight Street checking out all the stores. Saw lots of store owners standing outside talking to what seemed to be local folks. Very relaxed atmosphere and it was a lot of fun seeing all the colorful murals on every block. I definitely recommend visiting this neighborhood if you can fit it in your schedule.

Take a step back into the flower child era right here, and don't miss walking this cool and notable neighborhood. Haight-Ashbury was on our touristy list of places to visit (I had been here years prior) and walk and it did not disappoint with it's shops, murals, significant homes (Hendrix, Joplin, Grateful Dead), and places to stop for eats/drinks. You do feel like you have taken a step back into a time that was more revolutionary, yet simpler than today and it was refreshing. Easy walk, free and you can get a great cup of coffee. There is a T-shirt store on the corner (Love on Haight) that is quirky and sells some artist made tie-dye shirts/clothes that are exceptional (and a bit pricey, but hey you are touristing). The mural on the store alone is worth seeing.

If you’re a sixties fan you will want to go here. We were lucky enough to be there when they had their annual street fest. It was like a step back in time. If you remember Woodstock in the sixties and a lot of group singers this was the place.

Visited Haight Ashbury on a rainy morning and ended up spending the day wandering around the shops and trying out a few pubs. It’s been said in many other reviews but the area really does have a great, relaxed vibe. We were made to feel welcome by all of the locals and it’s probably the area we’d want to revisit first on a return trip. Side note – we loved our time here so much we named our cat ‘Ashbury’. If that’s not an endorsement of the area I don’t know what is!
