Beards & Booze

The Castro's Friday happy hour for bearded folks and the people who love them at The Edge. VJ Joel spins music videos by request while you enjoy 2-for-1 drinks from 5-7pm (plus drink tokens usable anytime).

A low-key, inclusive kickoff to the weekend that keeps this neighborhood hangout packed with friends old and new.

Dirty Musical Sundays

Sunday, October 4th, 2026

Monday, October 5th, 2026

Sunday nights at The Edge belong to the showtunes crowd. VJ Derek Thomas hosts a raunchy, irreverent celebration of musical theater — funny, sexy video clips from the Broadway canon, dirty trivia and dares for free drinks, and 2-for-1 specials all night. It's piano-bar energy meets video-bar fun, with a room full of people who know every lyric. A beloved Castro institution that makes you want to stick around past dinner.

Musical Mondays

Wednesday, October 7th, 2026

Start your week at The Edge in the Castro with live showtunes and piano bar energy. Musical Mondays brings Broadway magic to San Francisco through a partnership with BroadwaySF — expect cast members from touring and local productions (past guests include performers from Book of Mormon, Les Misérables, and Lion King, plus American Idol finalist LaToya London), alongside local talent and special guests. Sing along to the classics with a room full of people who know every word, and enjoy 2-for-1 cocktails and chips all night starting at 7pm with no cover charge. It's the kind of Monday night that actually makes you want to show up.

Musical Wednesdays

The Edge's weekly celebration of showtunes, Broadway, and all the songs that make you feel something. Host Matthew McCoy spins classic musical moments and runs the Broadway Musical Trivia Challenge, with entries toward monthly show ticket drawings. Two-for-one cocktails, no cover charge, and a piano bar crowd that knows every word — it's the midweek escape that makes live music nights worth showing up for.

Dee's Keys Piano Bar

SF Congressional Debate Viewing Party

4:00 PM

A Castro happy-hour tradition: pianist and singer Dee Spencer takes over the bar at Beaux with live piano and vocals every Thursday, pulling requests from her extensive songbook and inviting guests to sing along. No cover charge, a Buy One Get One drink special, and a rare chance to actually hear yourself think (or sing) during cocktail hour.

Dee's Keys Piano Bar is cutting happy hour short to host a live viewing of the San Francisco congressional debate — the critical matchup between City Supervisor Connie Chan and State Senator Scott Wiener as they lay out their visions for the city's future just before ballots arrive for the November election. The debate airs 7:30–9pm with full sound, exploring affordability, tech, immigration, and San Francisco's role in national politics. First 10 people through the door get a free drink, and there's no cover charge.

Thirsty Thursday

DJ Lu keeps the energy high every Thursday at Badlands Castro. Grab BOGO cocktails until 8:30 PM, then stick around for the main event kicking off at 9 PM sharp. No cover all night means strong drinks, great music, and a packed dance floor without the price tag.

UP Underwear Party

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.

Locker Room Thursdays

San Francisco's sweatiest sports fetish dance party, every Thursday night at Beaux. Expect gogo oil wrestling all night long, towel boys slinging shots, and a packed dance floor of jocks in singlets, sneakers, and short shorts. DJ AKI (with occasional guest sets from DJ Juanita More!) keeps the energy high with sports fetish visuals and beats. Two-for-one drinks from 9–11pm and no cover charge all night — the post-gym reset the Castro has been waiting for. Happens every Thursday except the 4th.
