Esta Noche, Trocerdo Transfer, Lexington, Universe, Pendulum \u2014 uttering these names of shuttered venues among queer circles in San Francisco is to uncan the history of a storied nightlife that began dwindling before COVID-19 arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more queer venues parish<\/a>, SF State alum D\u2019Arcy Drollinger, owner of drag-show nightclub and cabaret Oasis, is among those who have become defacto stewards of both the myth of nightlife past and authors of its future. Without them, the tapestry of queer SF culture stands to lose more than it has in recent decades. From 1960 to 1980, scores of queer venues once stretched<\/a> all the way from Ocean Beach to the piers. Today, they are largely relegated to the Castro and SOMA Districts \u2014 an erosion of culture and presence within a city known around the world as a gay mecca<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Drollinger, the hope was to keep the scene alive beyond the last call of the pandemic, which is why Oasis, hosted a fundraising event<\/a> on Saturday to shore up mounting financial losses. It raised over $250,000 \u2014 more than double the original goal. The haul is a huge win for Oasis and will help Drollinger stay afloat until more relief becomes available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor me, it costs about $1,000 a day for the club [Oasis] to exist closed,\u201d Drollinger said. \u201cI know that other venues have similar bills to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to Oasis \u2014 a venue that has the advantage of an established digital media platform loaded with content it can broadcast directly to its customer base, as well as a volunteer production team \u2014 there are smaller venues that must make do while they wait for bureaucratic gridlock to release relief funds.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new mandate Martuni\u2019s is only allowed to sell alcoholic beverages, but not make them. In order to provide customer with the full effect, they would need to sell food. Right now, it only has an option called \u201cPick Your Poison\u201d where customers choose what they want, and they mix their drink on their own.

Oasis is among venues that applied and received assistance at the federal and state level, but those funds were only enough to get through the first few months of the pandemic. As more funding is made available<\/a>, Drollinger said that challenges persist within relief programs, which further slow the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one instance, Oasis was denied a California $25,000 grant. In another relief program, from which \u201cthe money is coming,\u201d Drollinger said that allocation details have not been decided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’re all sitting here in this limbo just waiting,\u201d Drollinger said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony of club and bar owners waiting in line for access is not lost on SF State alum Alfredo Kuri De Labra. De Labra atavistically shared his off-campus undergraduate escapades in the early 2000s \u2014 when venues such as Esta Noche<\/a>, Lexington<\/a> and Pendulum still existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fan of venues that catered to queer people of color, De Labra did not mind \u201cboth waiting in line or finding a friend to cut in line with.\u201d Today, he laments their absence from the Castro District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere people of color used to be is where I liked to go,\u201d De Labra said. \u201cI feel like the places that catered to people of color went away. I think that\u2019s why I\u2019m so out of touch right now, because the places I used to go to no longer exist.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel like the places that catered to people of color went away. I think that\u2019s why I\u2019m so out of touch right now, because the places I used to go to no longer exist.\u201d<\/p>Alfredo Kuri De Labra<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to a map created by Bay Area Reporter Richard Walters<\/a>, several dozen venues have been gobbled up by time. A study<\/a> conducted by Greggor Mattson, associate professor of sociology at Oberlin College and Conservatory, showed that as many as 37% of gay bars in the U.S. shut down from 2007 to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Peterson, manager of SOMA\u2019s leather bar the Powerhouse<\/a>, said that the hardest hitting closure in recent memory is SF\u2019s oldest queer bar \u2014 The Stud<\/a>, which closed in Summer 2020.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Peterson, the health of queer nightlife in his neighborhood is interdependant between the venues. At one point, SOMA was home to a hodge podge of cruisy leather bars, dance clubs and sex clubs. Changes in norms such as those in Mattson\u2019s study<\/a>, but more heavily the pandemic, have contributed to a sharp decline that is \u201cmost apparent\u201d to Peterson in his district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sex venues [closure] have adversely affected Powerhouse,\u201d Peterson said. \u201cIf The Stud had a line, that was good for Powerhouse. If Powerhouse had a line, that was good for Hole in the Wall. It was all working together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Peterson, the state of queer nightlife is still changing. Until \u201cvaccination worldwide\u201d is achieved, it will remain difficult to find anything close to a pre-pandemic groove.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of up in the air right now isn’t it. We are all restaurants. We’re not cruise bars anymore. It [the pandemic] has changed everything,\u201d Peterson said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jose Guevara, a bartender at the Powerhouse, said change is also on the minds of patrons whom he has seen recently. The consensus  of the crowds he has been tending to since restrictions on outdoor dining were lifted is that they are ready to enliven SOMA once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople want to go out. They want to come back. They want to hang out,\u201d Guevara said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guevara lamented the loss of The Stud. The iconic walls of which were painted with the zodiac calendar at its inception in 1966 have seen visitors such as Sen. Dianne Feinstein, former mayor of the city.  For him, history was literally painted over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe building and the art had historical value, and they just painted over it \u2014 white washed it over,\u201d Guevara said. \u201cThat’s the biggest shame.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, stewards such as Drollinger, Peterson and Guevara \u2014 who are among those on the front lines of the fight to keep queer nightlife from getting the ultime bounce \u2014 are optimistic that things are turning around. To them, it\u2019s not even close to last call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is going to get better,\u201d Peterson said. \u201cWe’ve got to jump through the hoops until everybody gets vaccinated. I do see the horizon is getting brighter. Let\u2019s be optimistic and hope for the best.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
