Beaux

"Beaux isn’t the kind of place you plan on going to—it’s where you end up. This is a queer bar in the Castro where the music never stops pumping, the drinks never stop flowing, and the drag shows go late. Pops of blue light are everywhere, creating an overstimulating (in a fun way), and electrifying environment that might just inspire you to jump on a table and take that shirt off. A perfect recipe for a memorable night with memorable people." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, lani conway

"Down south at UCLA, there are plaques on the ground that read “All roads lead to Westwood.” How pretentious. Everyone knows all roads lead to Beaux. Beaux is a queer bar in the Castro where the music never stops pumping, the drinks never stop flowing, and the drag shows go late. A perfect recipe for a memorable night with some memorable people. " - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1

"We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: every night in the Castro should always end at Beaux. At this queer bar, the music never stops pumping, the drinks never stop flowing, and the drag shows go late. It's an overstimulating mess of blue, purple, and pink lights, and Top 40 hits. If that sounds like your ideal dance party then shimmy your way over here immediately. " - ricky rodriguez

"Beaux, the Castro dance bar where locals are likely to end up after some weeknight boozing, will be keeping the Pink Saturday (RIP) tradition alive with a special party on June 23 featuring Rupaul’s Drag Race winner Sharon Needles. It’s a day party hosted by regular Beaux hostess Au Jus, go-go dancers and all,. The fun kicks off at 4 p.m., with a special meet-and-greet at 5. The show is early (6:30 p.m.), and things will then transition into a dance party Saturday night, The party will rage on after the parade festivities on Sunday, as well — trust." - Jay C. Barmann
