I was always under the impression that it was known as a gay bar. A couple of years ago, some friends moved to S.M. Canyon ( they are straight) and fell in love with the place. They love the ambiance, service, steaks, prices and the fact that it is very family-friendly restaurant. Our friend, described The Golden Bull as the quintessential neighborhood dive/steakhouse

It used to be more of a gay hangout in decades past, but times and the neighborhood have both changed. Don used to own the Friendship, the former gay bar just west of the Bull, but it closed as times and the neighborhood have changed.
But the food was always good, drinks always quality, and the value was quite high.
Prime Rib was always a good weekend recommendation.

It was almost always referred to as the "Gay Bull" back in the day...Greg (owner of Stanley's in Sherman Oaks) older brother Jay lived right around the corner at one time.

good thing he moved closer to Mo's in Burbank - the commute today would kill him.
And Greg did not live far there either.

Can't imagine Don has changed the place in that period of time - why, it works.
Same old food, with same old clientele.
