Beards & Booze

Monday nights at Lone Star belong to knitters and crocheters who actually show up to make something with their hands and hang out with people who get it. Beginner or experienced, bring your needles and join a room full of creative folks doing their thing — no judgment, just good company and the kind of vibe that makes a weeknight feel like it matters.

Monday nights at Powerhouse belong to Glamamore and crew—a drag party that actually delivers on the promise of fresh beats, live performance, and a room that knows how to have a good time. It's the kind of night that keeps people coming back.

Monday nights at Beaux belong to Amoura Teese and the regulars who show up to belt out their favorites. Free entry, drink specials all night, and a crowd that actually knows how to have fun — whether you're taking the mic or just cheering from the bar. No judgment, just good vibes and better songs.

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.
