Frequently asked questions

Where should I look for theatre and music in San Francisco?

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.

How do I find something in San Francisco without ending up across the Bay?

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.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

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.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

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.
