Oasis

Best Shows In SF: from drag, burlesque to everything in between. Oasis is a safe welcoming place for all. Baloney, a fav we first saw at Outside Lands! Loved this place ever since!

Classic spot for drag shows. Bathroom is large and, despite the long lines, moves pretty quickly. Has a coat check and two bars. The hidden gem is definitely the rooftop — and they livestream the main stage so you won’t miss any performances! 😂 It’s a bit rough around the edges, but that’s part of what makes it so fun. Nothing like a classic grungy SOMA drag club!

If you are visiting the 11th Street & Folsom area for a late night party vibe, then Oasis should be on the list. The crowd is always livelier than most and the drag & costumes are Vegas quality. Friday and Saturday are great times to visit.

What a terrible venue! The stage is small and the ceilings are low... On top of that, add a mass packed crowd. I couldn't see a darn thing! Hardly any air-conditioning in the standing room. Go outside to the main bar and the video quality of their TV feeds us awful. If you go to the roof, it's nice and airy until you encounter cigarette smokers.

It's sad there aren't any other spaces for queer youth to enjoy the bubbly drag scene now that Oasis is closing but the truth is this space was never a paradise. This year the security obviously hated their jobs. They let folks injure themselves but once outside the door they're "not our problem" they said. The bartenders are always outright abusive to customers and other staff and there have been many racist incidents that don't make headlines. It's nice that they had one night a month for BIPOC drag but it was VERY obvious the events were the only spaces "for us" and we Black folks were "tolerated customers" on every other night. Staff I spoke to told me they didn't get benefits or breaks but hey- capitalism is king so I'm not surprised. White-centered queer spaces are usually like that. Maybe if they ran this place more like an inclusive community and less like a piggy bank they'd have more loyal clientele that would have saved them from losing their business.

The Oasis is so much fun! Everyone who works there is very friendly and gracious. Cocktails are creatively mixed and served elegantly. They have some of the...

I have been to Oasis many times and was thrilled that it had been saved and able to stay open. Which is what makes this such a hard review to write. The...
