What's not to love? Cheap cover, with several performers, well thought out space, fans constantly blowing, and a good eclectic crowd. Definitely a must if you are going out in the Castro! read more

This place is great! Drinks and the dancers are all too friendly and a great place to end your day. I've been coming almost every Wednesday for drinks for the past couple of months. Unfortunately today, one of the security guys was EXTREMELY RUDE!!! It's a black older guy (on his 50s maybe) and while we were leaving he screamed at us and my friend asked why was he being rude and he responded with "I can be rude to whoever the fuck i want". This really ruin our night. The only thing I'm asking is to respect us, we are paid customers. I'll change review once i hear something back. read more

They are money hungry. No wonder this place is dead! They add charges to your debit card, tips are automatically added to your bill, and you can't split a bill because they are too cheap to swipe another card. read more

Redeem your check in: $5 for a specialty drink before 9pm! See?! Going to the club early has its perks people! ;) Check with your bartender for their specialty drink, that night it was some incredibly fruity cocktail and all I could think of was "$5 hangovers aren't worth it guuuurl!" So I just got my usual Tanq & Tonic. I can't recall the last time I tried to go to the club. And this ain't even a club, but there's a stripper pole in the middle and a hot gay guy with a six pack is shaking his damn booty, what's a girl to do?! DOLLA DOLLA bills for some sweaty booty thrills y'all! BEST bachelorette party ever! read more

went to drag brunch here and had very high expectations considering it's allegedly the best drag brunch in san francisco. This performance was a total money grab, no dancing, just lip syncing and walking to each table to grab peoples money. been to way better shows don't waste your time here read more

Trashy vibes with alright drinks. Wear whatever you want. You'll probably see some pp. Would come back

A straight woman's gay bar dream come true and all that jazz too. Apparently there's a local gay man's club that meets here weekly (filled in by an elderly gay Phillip who is a fixture here and super friendly). Fantastic jazz trio that normally includes female pianist who is apparently out of town for the Grammy's (also informed of this by Phillip). Let me see if I get this right... if you order hard liquor you get a wooden nickel entitling you to another drink (so basically buy one get one free). Again, thank you Phillip. The musicians gladly handed over some wooden nickels. Very kind. Really a great spot. read more

I went to this club on a Tuesday night. It was the only place in the Castro with a dance scene that night. When we first got there at a little after 10pm it was pretty quiet but by 11/11:30 it had picked up and the floor was poppin! The target audience was gay men. As a queer woman I had a great time and made a few friends! I'd recommend this club if you're looking for a dance scene in the Castro during the week! read more

I waited over an hour for a party of one only to have several people get pulled out of line and get front loaded. I asked they they were taking reservations and they said no. This was horrible service and would not recommend this place due to their favoritism. read more

They are the best club in the world Lauren give us the drinks she gave me drinks that I didn't know existed so thank you beaux best night club ever !!! read more

Do not go here unless you want to get robbed of your phone and wallet and then have management not care to help you out. This was the worst experience I've ever had at any place in SF. Go somewhere else. read more

Last Sunday 01/10/23 I went to Beaux and after I ordered 3 beers and paid with my debit card a bartender offered me to leave my bill open... when I went to get a second round of drinks the bartender told me that I didn't know where my debit card was and I said I wanted it back and he called the security guards who attacked me inside the bar and when I called the police and filed a report for stealing and attacking the establishment... by the surprise of the universe They made charges on my bank account while the police were with me in another bar called Mix (which is owned by the same owners and in Beaux too). The police took a photo of my bank statement and now I'm going to sue them for stealing...fraud and assault...I recommend avoiding this place...many people told me that they are used to doing this to customers... and always sells excessive alcohol until people pass out from the place completely intoxicated... this place must be closed... I will report it to all competent bodies to investigate this place .. DON'T VISIT THIS PLACE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ROBBED. read more

Came here as an out of towner from NYC when I was in SF for work. Just wanted to grab a solo drink maybe meet someone. Ended up having a bunch of kind souls come up to me and invite me over. Hung out with them for 3 hours! Also it was $10 unlimited beer which rocked. Great spot on a Sunday! read more

I was told by my friends that this place is so fun and lively to come to and this drag events are amazing! Usually the people that work their mainly ( security & waiters) are very kind and respectful! But the Manager Joshua Cook is very disrespectful and has no, I mean NO COMMON CURIOSITY, NO RESPECT, NO GOOD MANNERS when it come to speaking with customers at all and you need that whole-heartily work in the restaurant industry! According to him we were at fault when two host communicated with us to be seated in front of a different property! He told us to walk away in a very rude and nasty manner saying to us " You Better walk away if you want to be seated!" We were calm, respectful and wasn't bothering anybody. Just want to shed light on our experience. read more

Music is nice andbut overall experience was ruined by the bartenders and their entitled attitude asked for pineapple cocunut drink, music was loud so i repeated , the bartender respong "sweety i can hear you i just dont know what you want" so i go and ask him "well do you have pineapple juice and rum?"... its not rocket science and its your job to be nice to your partrons, so dont be giving customers attitude after they tell you what they want. Avoid ordered from these workersp read more

Last night my partner I drove to SF to have a good night of fun and dancing. After walking around the Castro Area we decided to go to the night club Beaux. Soon as we walked in, we stepped up to the bar for drinks. I was standing in a clearly designated place to get served where I made eye contact with the bartender who was working in that area of the bar. When he was done waiting on the previous customer, this bartender walked back to the cash register and started counting money, then he started shuffling receipts as he made eye contact with me the second time. After another minute or so, he turned around and went to the opposite end of the bar and began to serve the white customers that was there after we were at the bar. I asked another bartender if I was standing in a place that wasn't a service space, the second bartender confirmed that I was in the right spot. So I asked why did the other bartender leave his post to wait on people at the opposite end of the bar and expressed how this made me feel. The second bartender asked me to look over it because the guy had fallen earlier and hurt his back. But clearly his back wasn't hurting him bad enough for him to stop working because he was busy serving and mixing drinks for other patrons who just happened to be white. This experience put a damper on what was a good night out for me and my partner. At this point, I will never return to Beaux. read more

Lauren from upstairs was a great conversationalist and had amazing energy!!! She made my friends night and that's all I could ask for

Came here for Easter on a whim just looking for a place to have mimosas with my peepz and this place did not disappoint. We bought 3 bottles of champagne and watched the bunny dancers do Their thing. It was seriously the most fun I've had in san Francisco in a while. Will definitely be back i hope on 5 de mayo they dancers will be wearing sombreos! The reason i took a star off is My only issue is the first 2 bottles we got charged $21 when the sign clearly said $15 but when i asked about the price difference he said oh thats just what the computer is ringing up so i was like whatever not gna let it damper the mood but when i bought the 3rd one we were charged correctly so i guess it depends on the bartender who makes up his own prices apparently. Other than that great place to hang with friends. read more

the service is amazing and the Marge are awesome! Lauren was top notch tonight. thank you

Rude, racist, and breaking the rules themselves. So yesterday I went with three friends, we told them two more are joining us soon, so that's five people..... we were seated at table 24, across us was a group of seven people seated already. We were sitting, drinking and eating- the server was holding onto one of our cards... our friends arrived to us, one of the servers tells us it's four people max at a table, which is bs since there was a seven top seated already.... I didn't wanna argue so I immediately responded by saying "we'll close out." Then, after the server walked away the security guard abruptly came over, raised his voice at us, and rudely said "one of us has to disappear" (he didn't say anything at all to the seven top and neither did any of the servers.) I told the security guard we already told a server to close out. As soon as the security guard walked away another server pops out of nowhere in seconds and at this point it doesn't make sense why three staff and bothering us while we already told the first server to close out as soon as he told us it's four people max at a table (while they have a seven top). I was so annoyed I just told him we already requested to close us out, and the security guard was unnecessarily rude to us. That second server responded by saying, "well you guys are doing many things wrong." Moral of the story: seven straight cis white people can get special treatment but when it's a table of diverse ethnicities we face rudeness, unfairness, and we are accused of doing "many things wrong." I don't know if the actual law is four people max at a table, however I do know staff at Beaux choose when and at who to enforce that rule on. We are never going back here. There are lots of other bars. read more

My friends love this place. I've been here maybe 5 times and I've always had a blast. Music is great and prices are adequate. Can get crowded on popular nights but not too crowded where you can't dance. There is a cover charge after a certain time but not too much. My last visit didn't end so well. Even my friends would admit that it was crowded, which in fact it was crowded than usual. And someone swiped my phone. The bouncer and security the next day were nice enough to check if anyone turned anything in. So thank you for double checking. I'll be back for sure read more

Love the bar but loathe the general manager. He bartends the "main bar" downstairs in the corner nearest the exit door. I've witnessed him slap a girls hand as she reached for a straw, scold patrons for not tipping enough, and outright serve anyone else but myself or my friends after waiting for 20+ minutes. In fact, I would tell others near me who were promptly served that I've been waiting for much longer, to which they'd tell the GM to immediately serve me. He would then do so but very rudely. At first I thought this was just a bad day for the guy, but nope. It's happened too many times now on multiple visits to make me assume he just hates his job. I've spoken to multiple staff members about him, and he is well known for being arrogant and rude amongst the staff. I hope the owners really take notice of all the bad reviews on this guy and get him to shape up before you start losing customers over one bad apple. Besides that, the bar has great music, strong drinks and every other bartender here is super nice. read more

10/19/13 We came here for drinks before dinner on Saturday. The place is pretty fancy, more like a loungey type if place with three bars, two on main floor and one up on mezzanine. They have huge lounge chairs with high back by the window and some cushioned seating. Drinks are available well, not sure if they do happy hours on weekends. A whiskey sour and a lemon drop came to total of $12. Beaux doesn't blast music like The Cafe across the street or HiTops does. It's pretty easy going. The crowd is predominantly younger, tight jeans type of guys, with occasional professional-looking silver foxes! They play Top 40. Nice place to chill and hang out with friends. read more

Beaux - 10/19/13. - Gay Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

My little group (some might call it a bubble in these Covid times) frequently comes to Beaux on Wednesday early evenings. The drinks are always good, and reasonably priced. Our server last Wednesday was Samuel, who we have gotten to know over the years, so glad that he is back, he is one of the best! Always friendly, we really enjoy visiting with him... Beaux is definitely one of our favorites in the Castro... read more

I like it. I do. It's mellow, it's dark enough but bright enough. Music is loud enough but not overpowering. The bartenders are sexy but not acting like hookers. Okay, that last one wouldn't bother me to much, but I can't detract points for professionalism, in fairness. I think that it has to define itself yet. There's no restaurant or bar nearby to "feed" clientele in the door, and though we're only talking a couple of hundred feet between bars, it's enough to affect the flow of traffic. I couldn't tell you WHO hangs out here yet. Blackbird is preppy and hipster, 440 is daddy, Edge is leather, Cafe is hip-hop/urban, Hi Tops is jocks and jock wannabes... but Beaux, at least from my first impression, is a little identity-less. I suspect it would get busier if they picked a vibe and ran with it. I liked it, it was quite nice, but as far as the crowd goes, I couldn't shake the impression that everyone there was there just to check it out, and not because they quite felt that they "belonged", as such... read more

As someone who frequents the Castro on a regular basis, Beaux has become my favorite bar in the neighborhood. The staff is warm and friendly (you're pretty amazing, Michael H. -- probably my favorite, along with TC ) and not to mention all are very very attractive. Unlike the other bars in the Castro, Beaux has a list of specialty drinks which are all very yummy -- I've tried all of them. It's fun every night of the week so be sure to swing by and treat yo self to a libation or four...who can beat 2-4-1 happy hour deals?! Pros: Conveniently located Takes credit cards Fun environment Opens at noon on weekends I love it. ;) Cons: It's so fun that the "just one drink" rule is quickly forgotten. read more

I found myself here on a Friday night after dinner with friends. I know I said that my clubbing days are over but this is a bar/lounge so that doesn't count, does it? My days of going to gay bars/clubs have been long gone so I felt a twinge of nostalgia when I walked into Beaux. It was MANimal night. It was nice lounge with comfortable seating and hot go go studs on the stage and in the window. It wasn't too crowded when we went which was great because I was able to walk around the club and check it out - coat room was in the back, next to the bathroom. I was DD so I can't comment on the drinks but they played great music. I've always been an electronica fan and the mix of Britney/Armin van Buuren/Notorious B.I.G was, to me, motivation to get on the small dance floor for a solid 2 hours. That's enough cardio for me for the day, thank you. It confirmed what I've always loved about gay bars/clubs - they have the best dance music! Bartenders were also handsome, polite, shirtless and attentive. The staff from the bouncers to the coat check boy were friendly and I would actually come here again and enjoy dancing with my beaux! read more

Why 5 stars?! Because: 1. I sing there on Tuesdays 2. The drinks are delicious (try the Beauxtox! See what they did there?) 3. The staff is genuinely kind, talented and considerate 4. The sound system is perhaps the best in Castro 5. Awesome lighting, furniture, art & ambiance read more

Went out last night. This place was popping and a lot of fun. Take credit card and tons of guys dancing everywhere. Only down side was it felt like a hot sauna in there. Couldn't breath eventually had to leave outside for fresh air. No AC felt like it was on. read more

This place literally just attracts thieves, my new phone was stolen, my jacket was stolen and my brother credit card was stolen and thousands of dollars was charged to it. I have never had so many issues in a club before; stay away if you value your things. read more

Super great bar, good music and drinks I particularly love the great martinis.super cute bartenders too Simon and Richard always excellent service. read more

The door attendants are extremely rude, unpleasant, and aggressive - particularly the heavy-set white man with longer, dark hair. I was forcefully ushered out shortly after arriving for "attempting to go behind the bar," which never happened. I am still completely unsure of why they chose to kick me out. When I politely asked if I could grab my phone, which I'd left at the bar, they refused and said I'd have to return during the day. I asked if one of the attendants could grab it for me, and they refused. They were quick to become physically aggressive when I'd become fed up and went to grab it myself. Horrible experience. read more

Not what I expected--in a good way. The people who work at establishments really do make a difference. Beaux has a great staff. Everyone that we encountered was down to earth and personable. The place is clean and aesthetically current too. Kylie Minogue and Madonna's "Hang Up" played overhead as the dancers switched places. The patrons were mellow and well-behaved. There is a lot of security. A lot. read more

Probably the best night club option in the Castro right now. For whatever reason, the crown for the "hottest, most popular weekend dance party" tends to rotate through various spots throughout the Castro. Right now, it's Beaux. Expect long lines on Fridays and Saturdays and a cover Thursday-Sunday. The go-go dancers are usually of exceptional high quality and the music is fun and catchy to do your own dancing. Bonus points for being one of only a couple places that accept credit card. read more

Where trigger and jet use to be a fancy venue that never seems to last long, im convinced this place is cursed. lets see how long beaux lasts. read more

Loved the place. Small by fun. We went Tuesday night which wasn't very busy but still lots of fun. We also went again on Wednesday which was a blast. Very busy and lots of fun. Gogo dancers were lots of fun too. I took away one star because the drinks were for sure water downed. I'm a light egg and could tell the alcohol was water downed. On the plus side the were very inexpensive and I was able to drink much more which was kinda fun. I would for sure go back either way. read more

Great dance music and wonderful people!! Met some of the greatest people and had a WONDERFUL time.
