Angels Drag & Dance

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.

A legendary Tenderloin drag institution since the '80s: the Hot Boxxx Girls bring a rotating cast of seasoned drag performers to Aunt Charlie's Lounge every Friday night. Hosted by the incomparable Gina La Divina, "The $65,000 Silicone Wonder," with DJ Vicki Marlane spinning the soundtrack starting at 10pm. Expect underground glamour, cheap drinks, and the kind of unpolished, authentic drag show that has made this bar a beloved San Francisco queer nightlife landmark for decades. Just a $5 cover gets you in the door.
