Thirsty Thursday

A full day of programming bringing together activists, leaders, and visionaries committed to LGBTQ+ rights and social justice. Power lunch and evening reception included. This is the gathering for people who refuse to look away—where real conversations happen and movements get built.

Pianist and singer Dee Spencer takes the keys every Thursday from 4-8pm for one of the Castro's few live music happy hours. Request a song from her extensive library, grab a Buy One Get One drink special, and soak in the neighborhood vibe—no cover charge.

Pride Weekend kicks off with live music at the Eagle — four bands in one night, $15 at the door, 21+. This is the kind of packed Thursday that reminds you why the leather bar is the heart of the neighborhood during Pride.

Powerhouse's weekly Thursday night draws the leather and cruise crowd for an authentic evening in one of San Francisco's most storied gay bars. This is where the leather district's community gathers — no pretense, just the real thing.

San Francisco's longest-running underwear party keeps Thursday nights packed with a crowd that knows how to have a good time. Cheap drinks, free coat check, go-go dancers, and a vibe built for cruising and dancing — this is the real deal, hosted by Mark Weston, Cougar, and Spencer Adam Carlton with support from the leather and kink community's favorite sponsors.

LESBEAUX is the sapphic dance party that actually delivers — rotating DJs, go-go dancers, drag performances, and local vendors setting up shop (think tooth gems, embroidery, caricatures). It's the kind of night where the dance floor is packed with people who showed up for each other. Happens on the 4th Thursday of every month. 21+.
