I always avoided the Castro i haven't been in a decade. It just wasn't my thing... Ever since discovering Beaux, I have a different perspective! Such an incredible time at the drag brunches they host! Everyone is so nice like... the customer service is impeccable. Like SO nice!!!!! We even brought a very political person from the orange team.., and he had a BLAST!!! Food? GREAT! The nachos are a hit, the burritos are huge, and the drinks are YUMMY! They KnOW how to make a great Michelada. oh! They even have a huge vegetarian option menu! The venue is just so cute! I feel so comfortable just being there and chilling. Plenty of places to sit, and just so clean. I throughly enjoyed my time there (this is my second time) and it's worth it. Like - Barnes and Nobles comfortable where it makes you go bathroom because it's that comfortable Check out the drag brunches for your birthday, bring your whole crew, and enjoy yourself! Btw - don't forget to bring dollar dollar bills yall! read more

Beaux was amazing! I was visiting from out of town and I love how they have something just about every night from Drag Brunch, to karaoke, to Latin Night, and more! The bartenders were friendly and professional, and drinks were great! read more

I'm not really unhappy with the place. Restrooms were extremely clean and well stocked which is always a big A+ in my book. Drinks were okay, spicy ass Bloody Mary. We came for the drag brunch. I think they need to come up with a better food partner than the Mexican place down the block. read more

Fun Monday karaoke, definitely try it out. Saturday after 9PM is busy and mixed crowd which is AWESOME. Shout out to great Bar keeps: Mathew, SAM, Vinny,and not last or least Treston. read more

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?

Coming from Fresno, visited on a Saturday around noon and just so happened to walk into their brunch drag show the energy was high and just very welcoming with lots of talent and laughs as well! Our bartender just so happen to be the owner Joshua and let me tell you he was great with very cool shooter ideas as well, if you're not sure what to order he'll help you out! Very attentive very helpful just all around a great guy running a great establishment!! Definitely will be visiting again! read more

I just wanted to offer some information since I could not find any in the website: I went to a Rupaul's Drag Race party and there were tickets on sale online. You'd have to pay VIP to get access next to the stage where the host it. I did not pay VIP so there was very limited seating and most of this seating did allow for a view of the stage. Those that wanted to see the entire event had to standup. On that night and for obvious reasons, food services weren't available. read more

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. read 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 read more

Beaux - Brunch - Gay Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

We had an absolute blast here on Valentine's Day! Great crowd, great music, great performers/staff, and great drinks!

I came on a Wednesday that was advertised as a Latino night and why aren't there any Latino bartenders serving me? I waited by the dance floor for a drink but the bartender was so distracted. read more

Went to Beaux for Sunday Drag Brunch. They don't do bottomless but it doesn't seem like many places do in San Francisco. So we ordered a few bottles between the four people at our table. We ordered food which is from Taco Boys next door or near by? Unsure. My tacos were good but our food took awhile...and they forgot our friend's food which took longer. The drag show though! We had a great time, loved the host Ruby Red. She was hysterical. All the ladies looked amazing and were giving it all to their performances. We had a great time. read more

Wanted to find a fun bar and was disappointed on how empty the place was, especially for a Saturday night. Probably because the music was not that great. Maybe it would have been better on a different night. It has a decent dance floor and plenty of seats. read more

Scammers I went with a large group for a friends birthday and they maintained that we ordered 3 extra bottles of champagne and a round of drinks for 12 people. When we said we didn't, they got aggressive and did not do anything to help. Keep tabs of everything you order before they try to scam you. read more

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!! read more

Always a good vibe, and the place to be any day of the week with the variety of parties they have it's great for all vibes and the bartenders are always so attentive and make amazing drinks especially Joshua, Matthew and Sam!!!! read more

I had a really disappointing experience here. My wallet was stolen last night (Saturday) and unfortunately the staff weren't very helpful in addressing the situation. My friend also had their wallet stolen here about a month ago. Security really needs to take pickpocketing more seriously . just want to warn others to be extra careful with personal items if you plan to visit. read more

I past but Market St. and saw the sign for drag brunch at Beaux on the weekends. I didn't know they did this and was excited to check it out, so gathered a group of friends to go one weekend. When we got there, we waited in the line to be sat. Meanwhile, the place was not busy at all, but maybe they were setting things up...who knows. We got in and sat down on a couch that was pretty run down. We ordered drinks and food...funny thing is for being labeled a "brunch", the food was brought in with to-go containers from another venue. And was not the best. So I would just stick to the drinks. As the show commenced, it was just a lot of lip syncing. As they perform, they walk around putting their fake boobs in your face and taking your dollar bills. One girl actually did some dancing and had good stage presence, but other than that it was pretty lack luster. read more

Beaux - Outside - Gay Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been going to the first for almost a decade now, been going since I just turned 21. I don't think I really appreciated it until I traveled to other city's gay bars. It's pretty poppin most nights, and has a wide range of events, from drag race shows, to rupauls drag race watch parties, to club, to brunch. The drinks are really reasonably priced, they even offer seating in most their events. Which I didn't realize how much of a privilege that was given most hetero-bars charge for table service if you want to sit. If you go to Vegas, LA, or even Oakland, they charge so much more for cover, or drinks, that it's surprising given how prime of the location the Beaux is in that they don't charge more. The crowd ranges by year and time, during summers it's quite packed with international tourist to people just outside of the bay, winter it's more locals and a bit empty. Events like pride or Folsom it's insane and you might have to wait a long time, but it's still cheaper than going to an after party event, and even if you wait 1hr, you're always going to be able to get in at a certain point, and honestly beats going home when the night is young. read more

Bartenders were unwelcoming. Immediately went back to hi-tops. It just wasn't the vibe

Came for Sunday drag brunch. I am a queer but straight passing black woman. I'm used to the shade in queer spaces but this place was too much. Even though I was sitting at the bar with my friend - directly in front of the bartender - it took 20 minutes before he even daned to take our order. Took forever for the drinks to "arrive." Insult to injury, they served the gay men who were seated after us immediately. They had drinks in hand and we still hadn't even ordered. The show was great and if it wasn't for the blatant discriminatory treatment, I would recommend the place. Sad that this is happening in the Castro of all places! I'm going to go back randomly and update this review. Everyone has bad days. But you know, when someone shows you who they are.... Management was responsive to a billing issue. read more

Great service and music! A must stop bar/club in the Castro. Always a fun night out at Beaux!

Beaux is my FAVORITE place to go in the Castro! Great music, incredible venue and always the best cocktails! My favorite is the Booty Call! Great spot to go out dancing with your friends on the weekend or stop in for a happy hour drink with Matthew! read more

If I can leave zero I would, I came in here with such a high expectation. Just to find the ONE bartender on duty (Qaday) singing his happy butt off for Kareoke. I tell the barback I'll make it easy just give me a white claw and have him charge me one he's done , but no he says he can't, why is the bartender singing when he has over 25 people in the bar? So what does the "bartender" do after he's done? He helps his 2 friends that got here after my group of 2 and he has a conversation with them as well. VERY POOR SERVICE IF YOU AS ME. read more

I've been to Beaux many many times after this initial review and my experiences with the staff and the bar have been great. I come reguarly for Drag Race viewing parties and drag shows. So, I wanted to revise my initial review here. read more

Best service and experience. Always a great time. They have grown to be family and always like to spend my time here.

Latin night music choice on Wednesday nights needs improvement. The DJ has been playing the same music and it's getting boring. Spice it up!! read more

Amazing experience, drinks and food! Came for brunch but will be back for happy hour!

I came here for their Sunday brunch. It is not bottomless but you can buy bottles. They allow you to order food from a taco place. The food was so so, but the main act was the drag show. The ladies were amazing. They were fun and the music choices were great. I expected nothing less for being in the Castro. read more

We found Beaux randomly after our weekend plans to Tahoe were canceled due to the storm. We decided to have a Sunday Funday. Initially, we wanted to go to 620 Jones, but they were fully booked. We were happy to have been able to get a table at Beaux instead. The food turned out to be from the taqueria, which was a surprise because I was expecting a drag brunch. Nevertheless, it was decent. The show was fantastic, and we all had a great time! The service was excellent, and everyone was friendly. I would definitely come back with more friends. read more

Beaux is fantastic place to dance and grab a cocktail. The music is fantastic and they have atmosphere dancers that really set the tone for the night. I have been on Thursday night which was a blast and a Saturday night that is also a blast. I have been to the other themed nights but one of these days I am sure I will make it. Drinks are well priced and the bartenders are friendly, fast, and efficient. Beaux does get busy so if you don't like waiting in lines then get there early. They also have a coat check and that line can get long as well. read more
