Friday

M4M Fridays @ SF Underground
424 Haight Street
10PM – 2AM

Get off the internet and back to the bars… Joshua J and Frankie Sharp are launching this new party at the site of the now (mercifully) dead Drunk n Horny, featuring DJs Chelsea Starr, Goldblooded, Juanita More! and Kidd Sysko. There’ll be go-go boys, $4 Svedka drinks, and that smokey patio out back with the tiny alley the boys piss in when the bathroom lines get too long.

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 has a ceiling
covered in colored in those multicolored Mexican paper flags. Tonight: All Virgos Are Mad

LuckyPiereRounded.jpgLucky Pierre @ The Stud
9th & Harrison
10PM – 3AM
This
monthly party hosted by Miss Trannyshack 2006 Coco Canal–with co-host
and strip poker dealer Artemis Chase manning the game room–has some
good music (DJ Donimo), an alterna-but-cute crowd and some even cuter
go-go boys for your glowering pleasure.   $5 before 11PM, $7 after …read more

Saturday

BearracudaTH.jpg

Bearracuda @ Deco
510 Larkin Street
10PM

If that summer diet never really worked out, this is the event for you!
Bearracuda’s “Underbear Party” leaves yards and yards and yards of
fabric in the coat check, and gets the hirsute sweatin to the beat.

HotMessSFsmallthumbroundup.jpgHot Mess @ The Stud
9th & Harrison

10PM – 4AM

The sloppiest kids in town are
colonizing the Stud for this Saturday night party (not to be confused with the party of the same name in NYC), featuring drink
specials for exhibitionists, live whip cream wrestling and Frat House
DJ Kidd Sysko. …read more

TransAmTHUMBsm.jpg

Trans Am @ Club 8
1151 Folsom Street
10PM – 2AM

When you’re as tired of hearing Janet remixes as we are, you might
want to head to this monthly party at Club 8, where the music and the boys tend
more to the punk and rock end of the spectrum. …read more

SocialClubRounded.jpgSocial Club @ The Lookout
16th & Noe (at Market)

9PM

Let’s
just say 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 too down-low about it. DJs Lee
Decker and Luke Fry will be spinning, and the go-go boys might be wearing ties with little else.

398 12th Street
Every Sunday, 3PM on

It’s all the beer you can drink for $10 and always benefits a good, gay cause.  Whatever you
do, for god’s sake, don’t go in there wearing flip-flops….read more

Friday

SpankTH.jpg

Spank Loft Party @ Private residence
385 Broadway #2F
10PM

We told you about the zine, now experience one of their parties if you haven’t already. It’s easily going to be hottest party all month: Cazwell’s performing, so are the Pixie Harlots, and the music by DJs Will and Seanb will be rad. The flashbulbs will keep flashing all night to capture the sleazy antics of these new-new gays. Get your invite here.

EasternBloc.jpg


Bloc Party
@ Easternbloc
505 East 6th Street

This
is one of our favorite gay bars in New York: DJ Gabe gives good pop, 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

523 9th Ave
10PM – 4AM
Marc
Berkley’s come uptown with everyone else and hosts this weekly party
featuring Ginelle Gordon singing her ass off and a bunch of hotties
boozing it up and schmooze-talking their way into Sunday. Anyway, we
always like a bar with a nice bathroom and multiple levels. We don’t
like standing still …read more

CockFightRounded.jpgCock Fight @ The Cock
29 2nd Avenue
10PM – 4AM

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

221 N. 9th Street (Williamsburg)
10PM – 4AM

Brooklyn: it’s where half the under-thirty gays live now anyway. DJ
Emjay spins deep house, etcetera for the Manhatts party monsters and
Billyburg homos alike. …read more

40 Avenue C (3rd St)
10PM

A band of marvelous and revolutionary homos
are livening up the East Village tonight with an actual party that
promises to be actual fun. Hosts include Justin Bond, Michael Formika
Jones, Cazwell, Amanda Lepore, Michael T, Miss Guy and Philippe Blonde,
with DJ Adam and guests Tekshur, Van Scott and Kingdom. $5-$10.

BigTimeRitzth.jpgThe Big Time @ The Ritz
369 W 46th Street

We
think the name of DJ JonJon Battles new party at The Ritz is probably
meant ironically, or it’s a reference to the Peter Gabriel song.
Anyway, try to stay clear of that narrow-ass corridor and enjoy the
electro-pop goodness while sipping that low-carb vodka soda.

Sunday

GardenOfOnoTH.jpgGarden of Ono @ Hotel Gansevoort
18 9th Avenue
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. Last year Michael Musto gushed it
was “a big oh-yes,” and though everyone in New York tires of things
really quickly, Cuckoo Club still hasn’t died so maybe this more mellow
alternative won’t either. Reserve a cabana ahead if you want to be
fancy like that.

349 W 46th Street
4PM
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.

Friday

StallionTH.jpgStallion @ Fubar
7994 Santa Monica Blvd.
9PM

Yes, this bar is trashy and wild. But it’s still technically located in
West Hollywood, and the handful of snobby, watchful, pretty-people
scenesters who come here prevent anyone from truly letting go. So the
sleaze at Fubar is more of a piece of furniture in the corner than an
all-encompassing vibe. 
Still, now that Hot Dog is woefully defunct, this is the best place to go for a dirty night west of Fairfax.  …read more

SwallowAtMJs.jpgSwallow @ MJ’s
2810 Hyperion Ave
10PM

Speaking
of Hot Dog… this party comes via the loins of Mario Diaz, creator of
Hot Dog and Big Fat Dick, and features DJ Barbeau. From Gay Bar Culture: “While the music is sometimes so gay here we feel like hate-criming
ourselves, on many nights the music is just lovely, and the crowd and
the DJ hold hands and throb together until closing.” …read more

Saturday

AkbarTH.jpgFree Dance Night @ Akbar
4356 W Sunset Blvd
10PM – 2AM

From Gay Bar Culture: “On the weekends the boys elbow
the pushy lezbots aside and take to the
dance floor, which is arguably the most reckless, least judgmental
dance floor in L.A. (It’s also about the least cruisy.)” …read more

CherryPopTH.jpg

Cherry Pop @ UltraSuede
661 N. Robertson
9PM – 2AM

It’s the bastard child of Popular and an ancient party called your grandpa might have gone to called Cherry, held at the same space. And it’s a Tom Whitman event, so expect the usual WeHo cornucopia of trainers who are really models, retail queens who are really aspiring set dressers and former models who are now graphic designers all dancing to Rihanna and drinking Ketel sodas, splash of cran.
