This bar is a ghost town full of desperate go-go dancers. Go to Badlands or The Mix for a great night and an even better crowd

Always a hastle to get in and overpriced to even get in the door ($15 at 9:30pm). On top of the expensive enterance fee, the club is constantly dead. This is the line to get in at 11pm. I finally was gonna go in and just get over the expensive enterance fee but, of course in light of making it a hastle to even get into this dodgy nightclub, they randomly only took cash. Dont waste time here, super expensive, sketchy and never a reliable club to depend on to have a good time. Go to Badlands or The Mix instead. The 3rd picture shows how lively The Mix is Vs Beaux.

If you want a touch of WeHo in your clubbing, this is probably the place to do it. I can't think of another bar in the Castro that has undulating go-go boys and a cabaret-singing drag queen. Now I'm not the type that writhes on the dance floor after dark. My love handles get in the way. I don't think I have the mojo to writhe anyway. I'm more of the late afternoon/early evening kind of tippler. During that hour, there was a much easier vibe with a bit older crowd (...that would include me). Dee, the singing drag queen, was here performing eighties favorites on the keyboard with genuine panache. What helped immeasurably was the presence of my favorite bartender in the Castro, Jonathan, whom I met first at the far more mellow Last Call Bar. Frankly all the bartenders at Beaux are friendly and usually quite busy, but Jonathan is a standout, an expert mixologist who always makes everyone feel welcome without going overboard. Tequila Sunrises were $8.50 (photo: https://yelp.to/tFO5OswyP_), and like several bars in the 'hood, they have a 2-4-1 Happy Hour which is hard to resist as Dee segues into a Pointer Sisters medley. DRINKS - 4 stars...potent with the 2-4-1 deal irresistible AMBIANCE - 5 stars...the closest you'll get to WeHo in the Castro SERVICE - 5 stars...it's all about the staff here TOTAL - 5 stars...what's wrong with an undulating go-go boy every now and then?

Beaux continues to be the IT place in S.F. You'll find yourself having an amazing time any day of the week! Drinks and music are a HIT! The performers are talented, and the staff are incredible. They go above and beyond & I am appreciative there's this gem. My favorite club in S.F! Catch me at the next Big Top event and more!

Must visit in the Castro!! I've been to Sunday brunch, Monday karaoke, and throughout the week I always have a good time at beaux. Their bartenders give the best service. On a nice summers day their patio is my fav place ‍ great ambiance amazing ppl

Detox and myself

the best bar to be at, always a great vibe for all genders and vibes, the service is always on point and the drinks are strong and delicious it also features some of the best drag in the bay area and some of the hottest gogo dancers! they also have queens from Rupaul's drag race and host the best viewing parties when the show is on!!

It has a classic San Francisco feel and definitely holds its place as an iconic spot in the city. The vibe is relaxed and very neighborhood-oriented. It feels like a place with a lot of regulars and a strong sense of community, which gives it character and makes it feel authentic rather than polished or trendy. Drinks are straightforward and exactly what you'd expect, nothing fancy, but dependable. One thing to note is that they only accept cash, so be sure to come prepared. Service was fine overall. Friendly enough, but not especially warm or memorable. Everything functioned smoothly, just without much of a standout moment. Twin Peaks Tavern is worth stopping into, especially if you're exploring the area or appreciate places with history and personality. It's not somewhere I'd go out of my way for, but it's a comfortable stop and a good representation of an old-school San Francisco bar.

If this is your first rodeo nobody gay who is worth hooking up with arrives before 10:30. The cover is usually ten bucks but if they say it is only five it is an off night so find another place to go to. Small coat area on the ground floor which can hold a huge number of coats and customary to give the man or woman taking them a buck. Techno music is loud and booming so that you can start dancing right away. Usually two or three go go boys too. Nice bar keeps. Like in all bars some guys have attitude issues but most are easy to get along with. Great porn screens and Roman like frescos on the wall. For the leather crowd mainly. Nights here can be unbeatable or not worth the effort but that happens everywhere, If you look under 40 have your ID's ready emo boys.

He's been a staple of the bar for as long as... I have been able to visit the establishment, which has been for about 16 years now, give or take, and of course the owners are still there; they come in and mix and mingle during the daylight hours typically, but sometimes they will be there at night as well! Tons of fun. Dancers, on box AND around the bar/club. The outside "vape smoking" seating is REALLY nice to have, especially when the bar gets crowded and then REALLY gets hot inside. It doesn't happen ALL the time, but enough... that you may want to step out there from time to time. I have enjoyed every themed night, or event that I've been to here. Coming back again super soon! (See you soon, Carlton!) If you're a local, and you see this and visit Powerhouse regularly, add me! ;) :)
