Pound Puppy It's not totally fetish-y at this monthly fete at The Eagle, but kind of.
There are puppy-masked go-go dancers and some of the usual SoMa daddies who haunt the patio, as well as a whole crop of other devotees who like this three-year-old affair.
Pound Puppy definitely draws one of the more diverse crowds of all the events at The Eagle, which can be a good thing if you're not averse to non-leather, non-daddies. The Eagle, 12th and Harrison.

GlamCocks Mystopia may have kicked off the Burning Man-does-gay-stuff-in-the-city trend, but GlamCocks raised the bar on the sexiness quotient, attracting an even younger crowd to throw on a costume, or maybe just some body glitter, and come dance their asses off.

Powerhouse SoMa It's been called the most popular gay bar in San Francisco, and Powerhouse is definitely a good place to cruise, with a sweaty shirtless dance floor grinding to For Men.
El Rio Mission Known for having a large and flirtatious patio scene, lesbian-owned El Rio is like a dive bar wearing lipstick. Beaux Castro The polished brass details and leather couches at Beaux may lead you to believe that it's just a spot for a few beers - and it is a good stop for happy hour - but Badlands The Castro The kind of club where you're more likely to check your shirt than your coat, Badlands has been pumping techno onto a wild dance floor for years.
The Stud SoMa A bastion of top-shelf drag, The Stud welcomes gay and straight alike to take in nightly performances and dance up a storm to a roster of high-energy DJs Lookout Castro The wraparound street-view balcony at Lookout--on the corner of 16th and Market Streets--is legendary for its people-watching prowess.

Tubesteak Connection Going strong now for 11 years, Tubesteak is the longest running gay party in town, and it's where hip kids still go late on a drunken Thursday to dance on the tiny Aunt Charlie's dancefloor to DJ Bus Station John's underground disco record collection.
With its dim red lighting and dive-y charm, not to mention music no one has heard since the days of Dancer From the Dance and the Trocadero Transfer , this party is a vivid connection to the dark and sexy disco clubs of the past. Just don't sit there on your phone within Bus Station's line of sight, or he will shame you.
