Outdoor Exploratorium Fort Mason : Daily
Did you know that when the Golden Gate Bridge gets hot, it sits low in the saddle? Course you didn’t: You don’t have a Bridge Thermometer, which looks like one of those scenic coin-op binoculars crossed with a first-person shooter. Peer into it (no coin needed!) and it shows the... More >>

The Business: A Comedy Show Dark Room Theater : 8:00 p.m. every Wed.
Four comedians anchor the weekly stand-up show The Business, and they’re all extremely smart and funny. Alex Koll has dramatic hair on his face and head, Sean Keane is bringin’ self-deprecation back, and Chris Garcia is mean and angry, yet somehow also gentle. But we bet they all hate... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Comedy, Arts

Hot Pocket Pier 23 Cafe : 4:00 p.m. third Sun. of every month
San Francisco quintet Hot Pocket, an offshoot of the 10-piece hip-hop and Latin funk outfit Bayonics, has built a solid following by filling bars across the city several times a week with its enormous repertoire of soul, funk, and hip-hop covers. We spoke briefly to lead vocalist and San... More >>
Embarcadero	Nightlife, Music

Vogue and Tone Dance Mission Theater : 8:00 p.m. every Tue.
Local dancer Jocquese Whitfield, aka JoQ, is the giant brain behind the new Vogue and Tone class (and a similar course at ODC). Why now, so many years after Paris Is Burning, and the Madonna song? Who cares? The class combines strenuous exercise with runway- and queen-inspired style; it’s... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Dance - Participatory

Joe Goldmark & The Seducers The Riptide : 7:00 p.m. second Sun. of every month
The Riptide's signature brick fireplace was veiled behind red velvet curtains on a recent Sunday night, but the Outer Sunset dive still carried the strong scent of burning embers from the night before. Most days the Taraval Street bar is the stamping ground for surfers, punks, and working-class... More >>
Parkside/ Forest Hill	Music, Free Events

Historical Tours of Cypress Lawn Cypress Lawn : 1:30 p.m. third Sat. of every month
When the Laurel Hill Cemetery fell into disrepair in the late nineteenth century, a new resting place had to be found for the roughly 35,000 people buried there. A new, larger, cemetery was constructed in what is today Colma (the city whose motto is "it's good to be alive in Colma," due to the... More >>
Daly City	Tours

"The Bump" John Colins : 10:00 p.m. third Sat. of every month
While many students work their way through college serving coffee or giving lap dances, Julio Galvez, aka The Whooligan, spent his years rubbing shoulders with Ghostface Killah and hosting hip-hop appearances at S.F's Amoeba Music. Already a budding DJ and producer, he found his push to fame... More >>

"That '80s Show" Madrone Art Bar : 9:00 p.m. third Fri. of every month
If the 20th Century is far too futuristic for you already, settle back into the '80s, and all its hip-hop glory, at That '80s Show. Bomb Hip-Hop DJs Dave Paul and Jeff Harris spin from the golden era of beats and emcees, or, as they put it, "Cabbage Patch Kids, Rubik's Cube, Live Aid,... More >>
Haight/ Fillmore	Music

"The Booty Bassment" The Knockout : 10:00 p.m. third Sat. of every month
Thank whatever cosmic entity you like that Booty Bassment is still going strong in San Francisco. While other mix masters may act like they'll bring some of your favorite guilty pleasure club bangers to their parties, only to wimp out when comes down to it, Bassment's resident DJs, Ryan Poulsen...

Mission/ Bernal Heights	Music

"Saturday Night Soul Party" Elbo Room : 10:00 p.m. third Sat. of every month
The current surge of early-reggae and R&B club nights in town shows that the '60s are finally back in an authentic, non-Boomer-centric way. For the last few years, the twice-monthly Saturday Night Soul Party has maintained a spot on the top of the heap. DJs Phengren, Paul Paul, and Pink Panzer... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Nightlife, Music

"Loose Joints" Make-Out Room : 10:00 p.m. every Fri.
Since 2007, the DJ trio of Tom Thump, Damon Bell, and DJ Centipede has offered up Loose Joints, the most ass-shakingest weekly survey of African-rooted pop in the city. Step into the Make-Out Room, order a couple of drinks, admire the sparkly ceiling decor, and listen before you dance. Along... More >>
Mission/ Bernal Heights	Music

"Radical Vinyl: Gay/Not Gay" El Rio : 9:00 p.m. every Mon.
No other sexually ambiguous club night wears its Kierkegaardian handle quite as well as Gay/Not Gay. Guests walking into El Rio on a Monday evening immediately succumb to a meltdown of libidinal uncertainty and psychological ambiguity. Fortunately, DJs Mrs. Robinson and Jenny Hoyston spin a...

"Peaches" Skylark Bar : 10:00 p.m. every Thu.
Ever since she was a child, Bay Area DJ ThatGirl has been interested in street art and its connection to the hip-hop movement. However, it wasn't until she attended a rave in 1997 that she discovered her desire to channel this creativity into music, most notably turntablism. She soon purchased... More >>

Ferry Plaza Saturday Farmers' Market Ferry Building : 10:00 a.m. every Sat.
Tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeño. Three examples of things that are nearly impossible to grow in this city -- even in the Mission sun. But fear not, you don't have to cut them out of your diet or resort to a supermarket. Every Saturday morning, growers from around the Bay Area and... More >>

Harvey's Funny Tuesdays Harvey's : 9:00 p.m. every Tue.
Comedy shows in bars can be an odd mix, especially when a birthday or bachelorette party means lots of stiff drinks and dildos strapped to the heads of the women tearing it up in their final hours before marriage. These giggling “dickheads” can be a comedian’s worst nightmare, as... More >>

"2 Men Will Move You" Amnesia : 9:00 p.m. second Sat. of every month
In a period of time seemingly dominated by guests from out of town, it's comforting to know that there are still local alternatives. 2 Men Will Move You is a party put together by long-time fixtures on the San Francisco nightlife scene Primo Pitino (of Oldies Night fame) and Jordan Heyser....

Mortified DNA Lounge : 7:30 p.m. second Fri. of every month
Crack the lid of your inner geek and prepare to cringe-laugh with Mortified, the storytelling series that brings teen angst to light in the form of comic storytelling from journals, poems, notebooks, letters, lyrics, photos, home movies, schoolwork, and other pubescent artifacts, performed by...

Fauxgirls! Infusion Lounge : 7:00 p.m. third Thu. of every month
As far as we can tell, San Francisco's first drag bar was a happy accident — unofficial history holds that Joe Finocchio established his eventually world-famous "female impersonator" spot in 1936 after hearing a customer in his father's bar imitate Sophie Tucker, known for her risque... More >>

Poetry at the 33 3300 Club : 7:00 p.m. last Tue. of every month
Most of what we know about Poetry at the 33 is that Kim Addonizio either used to hang out there or still does. That may sound like it isn't very much to go on, but Addonizio is one of the city's most underrated talents. She's a fucking genius, if you want to know the truth. If there's any... More >>

"Dub Mission" Elbo Room : 9:00 p.m. every Sun.
DJ Sep Ghadishah has put on the Sunday night Dub Mission party at the Elbo Room for more than 15 years. As local club nights go, that's kind of insane; most survive for only a fraction of that time. But through consistent bookings, DJ Sep has managed not only to keep Dub Mission alive, but to... More >>

"High Fantasy" Aunt Charlie's Lounge : 10:00 p.m. every Tue.
Weekends are for amateurs — the really good stuff happens during the week. Well, that might be a little hyperbolic, but it's certainly true in the case of High Fantasy. Going on for over two years now, the weekly Tuesday night party at Aunt Charlie's is your midweek destination for a dose... More >>

Exploratorium After Dark Exploratorium : 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. first Thu. of every month
It’s been a while since adults were given dominion over the Exploratorium, and we’ve really missed it. “Home” is an apposite theme for the return of the museum’s After Dark, where science, music, and cocktails converge. It begins with behind-the-scenes tours of the... More >>

"Love Will Fix It" The Hot Spot : 10:00 p.m. second Sat. of every month
"It's no secret anymore! I've always been a little black girl trapped in the body of a big white bear — and now I'm letting her out!" says local disco DJ Bus Station John. Perhaps best known for his seamy, disco-driven Tubesteak Connection bathhouse revival parties, the past year has seen... More >>

"The Dip" John Colins : 10:00 p.m. third Fri. of every month
According to San Francisco-based hip-hop DJ Ryan Nolan, aka Ry Toast, her two professions of DJing and yoga instructor really aren't that different. Both involve a sweaty crowd whose mood and enjoyment are dependent upon the skillful decision-making of the professional at the front of the room.... More >>
Union Square/ Financial District	Nightlife, Music

Daytime Realness El Rio : 3:00 p.m. third Sun. of every month
We always think about drag performers when we hear Gillian Welch's song "Barroom Girls." Especially the part that goes, "She tosses and turns because the sun is unkind." Because holy shit, when you're not sure if your tuck is tight enough, or whether your beard's growing through your... More >>
