Hashbury is a district of San Fierro, San Andreas in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that is dominated by a counter-culture vibe, boasting such retailers as the Hippy Shopper and Bing's Bongs, and basks in the general euphoria and laid-back sentiment that pervades the neighborhood. Zero's RC Shop is just to the east of Hashbury, in Garcia.
West of the district is Ocean Flats, while to the north is Queens and City Hall. To the south of the district is the Avispa Country Club, and to the east is Garcia.
Influence[]
The district is based on the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco.
The name Hashbury is a double entendre. Hashbury is a play on the name of its real-life counterpart, colloquially known to locals as "the Haight", and the word "hashish", meaning marijuana. Like the Haight, Hashbury's streets provide countless opportunities to spot hippies and other members of the social fringe. Hashbury also supports a "joint" festival with neighboring Garcia, another double entendre referring to both the cooperative nature of the festival and its theme (marijuana).
Businesses[]
Several businesses in Hashbury use the textures of real-life businesses located in Haight-Ashbury:
- Sub Urban and several unnamed stores are based on the Wasteland store at 1660 Haight Street, San Francisco.[1]
- Multiple buildings use the facade of 1644 Haight Street.[2]
- Bing's Bongs, Piece of Peace and a few other, unnamed stores are based on 1400 Haight Street.[3]
- Everything Musty Go! and Hippy Shopper use the storefront found at 1543 Haight Street.[4]
- The arch windows above some of the stores, and some of the store fronts are from 1584 Haight Street,[5]particularly from the now-closed Jaxx clothing store, whose neon sign can still be seen.
Additionally, STW Books is based on 71-73 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, Scotland.[6]

Trivia[]
- Hashbury is one of the few neighborhoods in San Andreas where gay and lesbian couples can be seen on the streets. For example, two people of the same gender can be seen walking down the streets holding hands, or kissing on the sidewalk. This is more common in Central Hashbury, and more commonly seen in some pedestrians.
- The stretch of the park to the east of the neighborhood is meant to resemble the "Panhandle" of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, where hippies used to smoke weed on the grass.
