Oasis

Situated in SoMa/Folsom, OASIS is a well-known gay bar that often hosts themed nights and drag shows. However, the Black Friday/Thanksgiving weekend experience was a mixed bag. Ambience: Friendly vibes with a slightly more relaxed energy. Not overly crowded, but still engaging. Decor: Retro-chic with a versatile performance space that caters to diverse themes. Check out their Rooftop alfresco seating especially during warmer months. Crowd: Welcoming and inclusive, though the numbers were low for a holiday weekend. Drinks: Specialty cocktails are a standout, and the drinks pack a punch. Entertainment: The drag performance leaned heavily on 50s and 60s music, which might not appeal to everyone. The real stars of the night were the go-go boys, who brought dynamic dance moves and acrobatics that wowed the audience. Music: Themed music tied to the drag performance; nostalgic but may not suit modern tastes. Pro Tips: Be prepared for the $30 cover charge (drinks not included). Grab a strong cocktail and find a good spot to enjoy the go-go boys. Overall: OASIS SF offers a mix of performances and cocktails, though the experience may depend on the theme of the night. Worth visiting for the go-go dancers and friendly atmosphere, but the steep cover charge could be a downside.

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.

Oasis is home to some of SF's best entertainers. Especially love Drunk Drag. I'm glad that it was saved from "redevelopment"

Absolutely the best Drag and Queer theatre in the bay area. A tragic loss for the gay community and San Francisco! Why aren't some rich old gays buying...

What a great spot! I went for the first time recently to enjoy the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" drag show. The show's writing and characters were well written...
