Updated Sep 9, 2009

San Jose Renegades - Smoking in the back patio (covered most months by a tent)
Tinker's Damn - Smoking in the back patio (partially covered)
Hunters - Smoking out front or out on the back patio (with a view of the super tall condo tower!)
Macs Club - Smoking in the tiny, uncomfy back patio
Monterey

No more gay bars. Sad.

Castroville

Franco's Norma Jean - No smoking

Sacramento The Bolt - Smoking in the enormous yard out back. Usually a fire going.
The Depot - Smoking past the sliding doors in the back (a huge improvement).
Mercantile - Smoking on the patio (not sure about this after the major remodel)
Faces - Smoking on the patio (covered).
Santa Cruz

Blue Lagoon - No smoking.

Dakota - No smoking, and such a shame. I used to go here ONLY because the owners used to stroll around smoking.
San Francisco

Castro Street

440 - No smoking.
Harvey's - No smoking.
Midnight Sun - No smoking.
Moby Dick - No smoking.
Pilsner Inn - (from a reader) Back patio that gets downright scorching with guys in their late twenties to those kissing forty. Plus the fact that they have good beer on tap, makes this a good place for a conversation while keeeping one eye out for "him."

South of Market

The Eagle - No smoking. Smoking on back patio (covered)
Lone Star - Smoking on back patio (covered by a tent in wet weather)

Powerhouse - Smoking on back patio (covered). Very smoky, like an airport smoking lounge except with men touching each other.

Hole in the Wall - No smoking...which is strange if you know the bar.

Chaps 2 - No smoking. Go out front.

Polk Street

'N Touch - No smoking.
Modesto

Brave Bull - No smoking. Patio out back.

Mustang Club - No smoking.
San Diego

Pecs - No smoking, but GREAT bartenders

Flicks - No smoking.
Wolfs - Smoking in backroom.
Shooterz - No smoking.
Eagle - No smoking.
Brass Rail - No smoking.
Kickers - No smoking.
Alibi - Smoking tolerated (not a gay bar per se)
Long Beach

The Crest - No smoking unless it's last call. Small patio out back.

Pistons - No smoking. Huge covered patio out back.
Los Angeles Club Buddha - No smoking.
Cuffs (CLOSED?) - Smoking ignored due to ongoing sex orgy

Faultline - Smoking on patio
