Friday
155 Fell Street
9PM
The party that just won’t die is back again, resurrecting itself just in time for a Pre-Bastille Day bash. Swing to the sounds of Parisian Pop, where a boat-necked shirt and fancy beret, or just do what we do and give everyone attitude and tell them to fuck off with a cigarette in your mouth and a glass of Stella Artois. Vive l’alcool!

The Rod @ Deco Lounge
510 Larkin Street
10PM
DJ
Bus Station John spins his vintage underground best for the hip kids.
The wet jockstrap contest at midnight isn’t aging terribly gracefully,
but it’s still a decent diversion after one’s eighth vodka tonic…more

Charlie Horse @ The Cinch
1723 Polk Street (bet. Clay & Washington)
10 PM, show at midnight
It’s
a hike if you don’t live in the Russian Hill/Nob Hill/’Loin vicinity,
but it beat out Trannyshack last year for best drag show, and it’s at a
bar that is sort of country-western themed but also has a ceiling
covered in colored in those multicolored Mexican paper flags.

Saturday
198 Church Street
9PM – 2AM
DJ’s Richie Panic and Jeffrey Paradise spin their
eclectic-electro-punk-dancey best at this weekly hipster haven where
you’re just as likely to make out with a gay boy wearing a kaffiyeh as
you are to get elbowed by a baby-dyke with lipstick smeared all over
her face. …read more

Midnight Mass – Barbarella @ Bridge Theater
3010 Geary Street
Midnight til the show ends (think 3 AM)
For the newly created pre-show on this one, Peaches Christ has assembled some fat, hairy drag divas to put together the ensemble performance of the year. Lady Bear Stars as Bear-barella, and will have you pissing yourself before the movie even begins! Get ready for some fat attitude to go with your large corn. Tix.
9PM
Let’s
just say that there are a lot of polo shirts and
while we’re totally cool with that and lots of pretty boys were wearing
them, it can be a little unnerving. Their tagline, oddly, is “Upscale,
Downlow,” even though there’s nothing really down-low about it. Oh, and
Siegfried was there last week. Nuff said…. $3 at the door.

Friday
Bloc Party @ Easternbloc
505 East 6th Street

is one of our favorite gay bars in New York: the music’s good, the boys
are hip, the bartenders are cute and it’s the kind of come-as-you-are,
non-BnT booze fest Manhattan needs more of. …read more

We love The Cock, except when they spray that
glow in the dark shit on everyone. The East Village was ahead of the
curve in bringing the dirtiness back to gay life in the late 90s …read more

Rendezvous @ The Ritz349 W 46th Street

It
may not be as scene-y as the Garden of Ono fete downtown, but DJ Lina
(and sometimes Adam Joseph) and the boys of Hells Kitchen rock out at this summer Sunday mixer with
two outdoor patio decks and happy hour prices until 7PM. ... more.
