High Tea

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.

Dee's Keys Piano Bar is cutting happy hour short to host a live viewing of the San Francisco congressional debate — the critical matchup between City Supervisor Connie Chan and State Senator Scott Wiener as they lay out their visions for the city's future just before ballots arrive for the November election. The debate airs 7:30–9pm with full sound, exploring affordability, tech, immigration, and San Francisco's role in national politics. First 10 people through the door get a free drink, and there's no cover charge.

San Francisco's sweatiest sports fetish dance party, every Thursday night at Beaux. Expect gogo oil wrestling all night long, towel boys slinging shots, and a packed dance floor of jocks in singlets, sneakers, and short shorts. DJ AKI (with occasional guest sets from DJ Juanita More!) keeps the energy high with sports fetish visuals and beats. Two-for-one drinks from 9–11pm and no cover charge all night — the post-gym reset the Castro has been waiting for. Happens every Thursday except the 4th.

Six go-go studs, four resident VJs spinning pop dance remixes, and a packed dance floor hosted by Hera Wynn — this is the Castro's hottest pop dance party. Beauxtorious brings the energy every Friday night with video mixes that'll keep you moving and a room full of people who showed up for exactly this.

Saturday and Sunday drag brunch at Beaux featuring rotating Bay Area drag performers, bottomless champagne, craft mimosas, espresso martinis, and bloody marys alongside spirit-free mocktails. Taco Boys provides the food. Shows run at 12:30pm and 2:30pm.

The BOOMBOOM crew brings the heat with a Pablo Vittar-themed night built for heavy dancing and floor stomping. If you know the lyrics, you'll know the vibe — expect Brazilian beats, a packed dance floor, and a crowd ready to move all night.
