Kitty Tapata's Trivia Wednesdays

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.

An afternoon gathering at Powerhouse celebrating rubber and fetish culture. This themed event brings together the leather and kink community for a fun, unapologetic celebration of one of the scene's favorite materials. Come as you are — or as your rubber self.

Thursday evenings belong to the bears and their admirers at The Stud — cheap drinks, good company, and a room full of people who don't take themselves too seriously. It's the kind of low-key gathering that keeps a community connected.

One of the Castro's rare live-music happy hours — show up to sing a song or just settle in with a drink and let the piano bar do its thing. SERENADE: Unity in Song runs the room from 5-8pm with Buy One Get One specials all night (3-9pm), plus a full craft cocktail menu and non-alcoholic options. No cover, no pressure, just good vibes and live music.

A spiritual gathering for the queer community at The Stud. Come worship, connect, and celebrate together in this sacred space designed for LGBTQ+ folks seeking community and transcendence.

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.
