Round three of the city's hottest Middle Eastern x Latin night is back with a twist — masks included with every ticket, mystery vibes all night.

Dragging Celebrity Autobiographies

Some of San Francisco's best drag queens tackle the campiest celebrity memoirs you've ever heard of — think dramatic readings, hilarious commentary, and the kind of evening that reminds you why this city's drag scene is unmatched. Part of Litquake, this is the kind of show that sells out, so grab tickets while they're there.

DJ AKI (with occasional guest sets from DJ Juanita More!) keeps the energy high with sports fetish visuals and beats.

UP Underwear Party

Thursday, October 8th, 2026

9:00 PM

Powerhouse

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.

No pretense—just hunky guys, good drinks, and better company.
