The Rickshaw Stop

Dancing · San Francisco, CA

About

If you're looking for a queer-friendly dance party in San Francisco, the Rickshaw Stop is worth checking out. It's the regular home of Cockblock (an all-girl party with their best guy friends) and Blow Up SF, both drawing large crowds of queer men and women. The venue itself is a quirky arts space that hosts live music from mainstream alternative artists.

The crowd skews younger and rowdier. There's a smoking area if that's your thing. Keep an eye on their website since the event calendar changes frequently.
