Emo Night

Tuesday nights at Hi Tops belong to the regulars who show up for free trivia, cheap drinks, and the questionable team names they've been workshopping since last week. Cash prizes sweeten the deal—$100 for first place, $50 for second, and a round of shots for the best team name. Unpretentious and reliably fun, exactly what a neighborhood bar should do well.

Beaux's weekly underwear party hits every Tuesday from 9pm-2am with the gogo boys, free clothing check, drink specials for those in their underwear, and a dark dance floor built for getting down. No judgment, no pretense—just a reliably hot midweek reset for the Castro crowd.

Wednesday nights belong to the women, gays, and theys ready to test new material and support each other's comedy. Hysteria is where the Bay Area's queer comedians come to hone their craft in front of a room that actually gets the jokes — no pretense, just funny people doing funny things.

The Edge's weekly celebration of showtunes, Broadway, and all the songs that make you feel something — a room full of people who know every word and aren't shy about singing them. Stiff cocktails, a piano bar vibe, and the kind of midweek energy that reminds you why live music nights are worth showing up for.

Miss Kitty brings the irreverent humor and weird-but-true trivia to Wild Side West every Wednesday night at 8pm. It's half trivia contest, half comedy show — expect to think, laugh, and wonder for days. Win booze and bragging rights while hanging out in one of San Francisco's most beloved lesbian bars. Free entry.

The Bay Area's favorite Latin humpday fiesta is back every Wednesday at Beaux. Eight Trophy Boy go-go dancers, drag celebrities, DJ Jaffeth spinning, and a packed dance floor of 400+ people ready to party. Free before 10:30pm—no reason not to show up.
