Tricyclist

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

7:00 PM

Fabulosa Books

It's San Francisco in the early aughts, and Howie Song is floundering. His failed projects—as a professional ballet dancer, as a boyfriend, as a friend—have left him forever the "third wheel." But maybe he likes it that way? Leaping wildly between lovers, centuries, and an ever-changing cultural landscape, Howie might just feel most himself in the fracture. Delicious, poetic, and delightfully pornographic, Tricyclist is an ode to the "abnormal angles" of people and art.

Locker Room Thursdays

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

9:00 PM

Beaux

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.

Sports Bar

Gym Class

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

10:00 PM

Hi Tops San Francisco

Thursday nights at Hi Tops are for the jocks, the gym regulars, and everyone who appreciates them. Expect free shots, a packed crowd that knows how to have a good time, and the kind of low-key sports bar energy that turns a weeknight into a weekend. No pretense—just hunky guys, good drinks, and better company.

Happy Hour

Beards & Booze

Friday, November 6th, 2026

5:00 PM

The Edge

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). Rotating weekly specials keep it fresh — beard oil rub-downs, t-shirt exchanges, best beard contests, and more. A low-key, inclusive kickoff to the weekend that keeps this neighborhood hangout packed with friends old and new.
