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.

Latin Leather Night returns to Powerhouse — the leather district's hottest night for those who know where to find it. Expect a room full of leather, attitude, and the kind of energy that only happens when the right crowd gathers in the right place. Travieso is back, and it's exactly what you've been waiting for.

Every first Saturday, Juanita MORE! and Glamamore transform one lucky audience member into a drag queen right before your eyes—tuck, tape, shape, glue, staple, the whole sacred ritual. Then they push this brand-new baby queen onto the stage for their first-ever live lip-sync performance, magic mascara wand and all. It's part makeover, part initiation, entirely unforgettable. All proceeds benefit the Roses Program, which creates space built by and for trans girls of color.

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.

The first Sunday of every month belongs to Florence Frightengale's anything-goes drag show — performers roll up with whatever they want to do, no theme, no rules (mostly). It's the kind of night where you never know what's walking out on that stage, which is exactly the point. Free, hosted by someone who knows how to keep the energy moving, and reliably the most unpredictable drag you'll catch in the city.

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.
