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. Tonight: A 4th of July Spectacular with the one and only Raya Light.

6 PM – Midnight
Josh Wood, DJ Steve Travolta and hosts Nick Van Bremen and Erik Bottcher are bringing back this series of summer garden parties, on the roof in the Meat Packing District.

Reserve a cabana ahead if you want to be fancy like that.
