Back to the Future: The Return of the Gays

Amoura Teese hosts Beaux's weekly karaoke night — no cover, drink specials running all night, and a room full of people ready to belt out whatever's stuck in their head. Whether you're there to perform or just watch the chaos unfold, it's the kind of Monday reset that actually makes sense.

The Beaux gogo boys bring the heat every Tuesday night — a packed dance floor in various states of undress, drink specials that reward you for showing skin, and a vibe that's unapologetically sexy and fun. Free coat check means you can leave your inhibitions at the door. 9pm–2am.

A Castro happy-hour tradition: pianist and singer Dee Spencer takes over the bar at Beaux with live piano and vocals every Thursday, pulling requests from her extensive songbook and inviting guests to sing along. No cover charge, a Buy One Get One drink special, and a rare chance to actually hear yourself think (or sing) during cocktail hour.

Lesbeaux and Glamarati are throwing a champagne-soaked celebration built for sapphic dancers and burlesque lovers. Global superstar Frankie Fictitious headlines a midnight burlesque show alongside Riley Vice, Eve Wilder, and Trix, while DJ Livv and Mama San keep the dance floor packed all night. Vendors, glitter, and a room full of queer women and femmes ready to have a good time — this is the sapphic nightlife event the city's been waiting for.

The weekly sports fetish dance party that actually delivers — gogo oil wrestling all night, towel boys slinging shots, and a crowd that knows what they came for. DJ AKI spinning while you work it on the dance floor. Two-for-one drinks 9–11pm, no cover charge. Jocks, singlets, sneakers, and short shorts are the dress code that actually matters here.

One year of bringing the Bay Area LGBTQIA+ community together through live music. This anniversary celebration features three pianists and vocalists performing everything from opera and classical to pop, Broadway, jazz, blues, R&B, and country. There's a raffle, ASL interpreters for accessibility, and all proceeds benefit Queer LifeSpace, a San Francisco nonprofit offering affordable, culturally affirming mental health services to LGBTQIA+ people. Suggested donation $11 at the door.
