OASIS — Restaurant in San Francisco

I had the opportunity to visit Oasis and had an unbelievable time. The place was packed. To my surprise, we got there just in time before the Drag show started. We had two numbers by local queens. One of the queens being Heroine whose bday was May 5th. I was having a great time enjoying the show when by complete happenstance I found myself face to face with Awhora and Crystal Versace from Rupauls drag Uk. I was over the moon! Awhora was super nice and kind. I shared with her that I was there to celebrate an award for work and having her, and Crystal there made my night even better. She replied by saying: “ enjoy your celebratory night! You are here supporting our community. Enjoy yourself! “ I was convinced my night could not get any better! And then, the host announced La Morra Lisa from La Mas Draga season 4. I was so surprised and so overwhelmed I got tears in my eyes. I turned to Awhora and said “ I cannot believe my luck” to which she replied “believe it. This is real. “ To top it all off, Papercut aka PAPELITO took the stage with more energy than a Hurricane. She delivered an incredible high energy performance that made me cry like a baby! What an incredible night! Thank you Awhora for being an absolute enchanting dream! You made my night! Thank you Oasis for a great event. Whenever I return to San Francisco, I will absolutely come back...

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...

I love this venue! All of the staff are very sweet. Inside the venue has such a cool layout. There is a cool outside patio you can smoke on. My only complaints are if you are under 5’7 like myself, then you will most likely struggle to see. It would be nice if the catwalk was just a bit higher so the shortys can see better. This venue gets some of the biggest names in drag so it gets really packed with most of their shows being sold out. I personally think they over pack the venue a bit. It gets real cramped and makes it even harder to see. I know they gotta make their money…. But I honestly think they could make more money if they didn’t pack it the way they do because then people can access the bar better. It gets to the point where you can’t get to the bar for a drink so they are probably losing out on a lot more than they realize. These are why my review is a 4 star instead of a 5. Hopefully they don’t pack it as much in the future and then I’ll be back on here to change to a 5 star! Regardless of these things I love this place and will continue coming every...
