Legendary Friday and Saturday night drag show at Aunt Charlie's Lounge, hosted by the iconic Gina La Divina—the $65,000 Silicone Wonder. A rotating cast of seasoned performers including Vicki Marlane, Daffney Deluxe, Bobby Ashton, and Aurora Stiles deliver the kind of drag that's been drawing crowds to this Tenderloin institution for decades. Just five bucks to get in, and you're part of San Francisco queer nightlife history.

Thursday nights at Aunt Charlie's belong to Bus Station John and his vinyl collection of rare bathhouse classics, early New York downtown electro, and disco tracks most people didn't even know existed. He's a purist who won't spin anything you can buy, which means you're getting a night of retro-homo grooves that somehow feel both deeply nostalgic and completely fresh. The kind of underground Thursday that reminds you why this place has been a cornerstone of queer nightlife since the 1980s.

Freshie takes the stage at Aunt Charlie's for a night of drag that's as bold and unapologetic as the name suggests. This is the kind of show that reminds you why this legendary Tenderloin dive bar has been a queer institution for decades — low cover, high energy, and performers who actually know how to work a room. Thursday nights at Aunt Charlie's are where real drag happens.
