Lick It

A weekly leather bar tradition at Powerhouse — free, shirtless Sunday afternoons filled with raw, unapologetic energy. Regulars and first-timers alike gather to cruise, connect, and soak in the authentic vibe that's defined this stretch of Folsom for decades. No dress code required, just good vibes and San Francisco's legendary leather heritage on full display.

Cocktailgate 2.0 is the drag show that refuses to die — one of the Bay Area's longest-running nights built on beautiful chaos and unhinged art. Hosted by Suppositori Spelling and Florence Frightengale, it's a masterclass in what happens when you show up with minutes of rehearsal and maximum commitment. Expect the unexpected, laugh at things you shouldn't, and witness drag that actually takes risks.

Monday nights at Powerhouse belong to Glamamore and crew—a rotating cast of drag performers, fresh beats, and live crafting energy that turns the dance floor into something between a show and a party. Expect performance and play to blur together in the leather district's most unapologetic nightclub, with the energy building as the night goes on.

San Francisco's longest-running underwear party keeps Thursday nights at Powerhouse exactly as they should be — minimal clothes, maximum cruising, and a dance floor that doesn't quit. Underwear drink specials, free coat check, and rotating go-go dancers set the mood, while a crew of longtime hosts keeps the energy up all night. Raw, unapologetic, and true to the leather district's roots — this is the real deal for anyone looking to dance, cruise, and connect.

Stank is San Francisco's infamous Ripe Pit night. Every 4th Friday the pit pigs, pups, and perverts converge on Powerhouse for a music forward night to take in the heady aromas, deep sounds, and experience the Pit Crew.

A Sunday afternoon gathering at Powerhouse where the leather and cruise community comes together. This is the kind of event that celebrates the venue's authentic, unapologetic spirit — a space to connect, cruise, and be yourself in one of San Francisco's most storied leather destinations.
