Part of the Gay San Francisco Guide — bars, events & things to do.

San Francisco, California
Divisadero art bar with the monthly Thick & Tired drag show
Madrone Art Bar is a bar on Divisadero Street in San Francisco that doubles as a gallery, with rotating art exhibitions on its walls, open 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day. On a Sunday in most months it hosts Thick & Tired, a drag show produced with Oasis Arts by Ali Scat and Glamputee: doors at 5 p.m., show at 6 p.m., $10 suggested donation. It's a Gay Friendly art bar rather than a gay bar, and Thick & Tired is the reason to go.
