Start your week with live showtunes and singalongs at The Edge — a Castro institution where regulars gather to belt out Broadway favorites and feel genuinely at home. It's the kind of Monday night that reminds you why this neighborhood bar has been a community anchor for over three decades.

Monday nights at Beaux belong to Amoura Teese and the people who show up to belt out whatever's stuck in their head. No cover, drink specials all night, and a room that actually knows how to have fun with karaoke — this is the kind of weekly ritual that keeps a neighborhood sane.

Gather at The Edge for a DRAGula viewing party — the kind of afternoon where the Castro's best crowd shows up to watch drag's darkest, campiest competition unfold on screen. Expect commentary, reactions, and the kind of energy that only happens when you're watching with people who actually get it.

A Tuesday evening of live music and community at The Stud, San Francisco's historic worker-owned cooperative nightclub. Urban Harmonies brings together local performers and queer audiences for an intimate night of sound and connection in one of the city's most iconic venues.

Joseph Osmundson, author of the award-finalist VIROLOGY, reads from his genre-bending memoir about queer family-making, scientific ethics, and building kinship beyond biology. When a lesbian couple he'd known since college asked him to be their bio-dad and co-parent, Joe thought he'd found his path to parenthood—until questions of race, whiteness, and belonging reshaped everything. An intimate evening exploring grief, caregiving, and what it means to make family in the 21st century.

Weekly trivia at Hi Tops means free-to-play rounds, actual cash prizes, and a room full of people who take their team names way too seriously. It's the kind of Tuesday night that gives you a reason to show up, grab a drink, and remember why your crew is unbeatable.
