October 31 at 9pm +15
Rick & Roxy's · Cow Hollow
Saturday nights here have a split personality in the best way. Roxy's side brings disco balls, go-go cages, and dance floor energy, while Rick's keeps it low-key with darts, games, and classic cocktails.
October 29 at 10pm +59
Birba · Hayes Valley • $$
Sidle up to Birba's front parklet for Cheeky Hour, where tiny spritzes and itty-bitty aperitivo snacks make afternoon drinking feel downright adorable. A breezy, low-stakes way to ease into the evening.
November 5 at 8pm +5
The House Of Shields · Transbay • $
Step into a time capsule where Sam Spade could be nursing a drink in the corner. House of Shields pairs 1906-era charm with bartenders who actually geek out on their craft.
November 5 at 4:30pm +7
The Jay, Autograph Collection · Financial District
Learn mahjong while sipping martinis named after the game's iconic moves. The Jay Hotel's biweekly happy hour pairs open-play tables with instructors and a "Pong" or "Chow" cocktail menu, all overlooking the Embarcadero.
November 20 at 1am +7
Churchill Cocktail Bar · Duboce Triangle • Free
Hang Loose is a monthly tropical vinyl happy hour where DJ Tanner spins city pop, rare grooves, and sunset funk. No cover, just mellow post-work drinks and the kind of crate-digging vibes that make Thursday feel like vacation.
Left Door · Union Street • $$
Slip through an unmarked door for velvet seating, expert martinis, and caviar service in this dimly lit speakeasy. The vibe is posh without pretension, perfect for date night or boozy Sunday brunch with a live DJ.

New Conservatory Theatre Center is worth checking for intimate productions and queer stories. For an evening built around dancing, look at the programme at Madrone Art Bar. Pick the production or music first; the room is only half the decision.
Tell me whether you mean San Francisco itself or the wider Bay Area. Add your neighbourhood, transport, and how long you’re willing to spend getting there. A good event needs to fit the journey home, too.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
