Mia Starr @ Big Top Saturdays

The Castro's hottest midweek underwear party at Beaux. Every Tuesday from 9pm to 2am, gogo boys set the tone on a dark, packed dance floor. Enjoy free coat check and drink specials if you're down to your underwear—no judgment, no pretense, just a reliably hot Tuesday night reset for the neighborhood.

Pan Dulce is the Bay Area's most reliably packed Latin humpday — eight go-go dancers, rotating drag celebrities, and a crowd that knows how to move. This week, Elektra Vandergeld (fresh off RuPaul's Drag Race Mexico) headlines as Pan Dulce kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month. DJ Jaffeth keeps the energy high all night. Free before 10pm.

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.

Thursday nights belong to the jocks and fetish enthusiasts — gogo oil wrestling all night, towel boys slinging shots, and DJ AKI spinning sports fetish visuals that keep the energy exactly where it should be. Two-for-one drinks from 9 to 11pm, no cover charge, and a crowd that knows what they came for. Happens every Thursday except the 4th.

Crystal Methyd from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 11 headlining BEAUXTORIOUS, Beaux's wildest Friday night. Drag shows hosted by SF icon Hera Wynn, go-go dancers, VJ Aki spinning pop and hip-hop videos, and a meet-and-greet with Crystal before the show. Dance all night in Castro's most reliably packed party.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons at Beaux belong to Goddess — a rotating lineup of Bay Area drag talent, flowing champagne and mimosas, espresso martinis, and a full taqueria brunch from Taco Boys. It's the kind of drag brunch where the drinks are strong, the performers are fierce, and the whole room is there to have an unhinged good time.
