The Powerhouse's monthly drink special night brings the leather and kink community together on the fourth Saturday for five hours of specials, cruising, and that raw, unapologetic energy the venue is known for. 9pm to 2am—come thirsty.

A Sunday afternoon gathering at Powerhouse where the leather and cruising community comes together. Carne Fresca brings that raw, authentic energy the venue is known for — a chance to connect, cruise, and be part of the scene that keeps San Francisco's leather heritage alive.

The leather community's Sunday ritual at Powerhouse — a free afternoon where the dress code is optional and the vibe is unapologetically authentic. It's the kind of space that makes the leather district what it is: raw, welcoming, and real.

Nerds and geeks get their moment at this cosplay and drag mashup — think comic book realness meets runway energy, all happening in one gloriously geeky show. It's the kind of event where your carefully crafted costume actually gets celebrated, and the drag queens are just as into the fandom as you are.

The second Wednesday open-stage drag show where anyone can perform — first-timers, seasoned queens, or anyone curious about trying drag for the first time. Bring a thumb drive with your track, hit the stage, and feed off the crowd's chaotic, welcoming energy. It's less polished cabaret, more community playground where experimental performances and genuine fun are the whole point.

Every third Saturday, Beatpig brings leather, fashion, and drag together at Powerhouse with the energy the venue deserves. Hosted by Juanita MORE! and DJ Stanley Frank, expect great music, cheap drinks, juicy gogo dancers, bondage demonstrations, and rotating photographers capturing the scene. It's the kind of night that reminds you why Powerhouse is legendary.
