Joining in on all the incredbily festive and can't-miss Pride parties is the urban oasis of W San Francisco, a trendy and modern hotel in the heart of the SoMa District's museum center.
On Friday, June 10th from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. will be their highly vibrant and exclusively star-studded “Long Live the Queens” program. This festivity will feature not only electrifyingly talented drag performances, but also a delectable Pride-themed tasting menu with cocktails to add to the full celebration.

One LGBTQ+ icon slated to make a long-awaited grand return to our colorful city is Heklina, a W Hotel legend who previously was acclaimed for hosting their weekly drag show Mother, and appearing at W's 2020 Three Course Drag Dinner.
Curated by Heklina herself, also in powerfully entertaining attendance will be other highly-revered drag phenomenons Carnie Asada, Madd Dogg, and Landa Lakes.
Tickets will be required for entry, with their sales going to directly benefit SF LGBT Center, which is a non-profit that provides local resources and programs for the wide LGBTQ community and allies.
“We’re proud to stand in support of our LGBTQ+ community and hope our guests enjoy our celebrations and offerings designed to make everyone feel welcome and at home," states W San Francisco general manager Amy Arbuckle, lauding the excitement the hotel holds for the full return of the classic Pride tradition.
Aside from the marvelous performances, the food at this gathering will also be just as show-stopping. Titled “TRACE the Rainbow,” this artisanally curated menu by Executive Chef Dawn Taylor-Cole will be an irresistably colorful selection of rainbow delights available at the Living Room Bar Thursdays through Sundays for all June.
Expect rainbow deviled eggs, a fresh roasted vegetable rainbow pizza, and even Funfett pancakes topped generously with a dulce de leche drizzle!
Award-winning mixologist and sommelier Aom Aphiradi has also compiled festive Pride cocktails in conjunction with their offering of Almanac Beer Co.'s LOVE Hazy IPA. This rainbow-wrapped beer will donate a portion of their proceeds all Pride month long to directly help the Oakland LGBTQ+ Community Center.
W boasts a stylish and refined downtown getaway with over 400 lavish guest rooms and 12 chic suites with panoramic views, along with their premiere fitness center, and award-winning SOCIAL TERRACE.
It will be a night packed with great food, joyous celebrations, and riveting performances at this SoMa urban oasis, which you can view more info on at their site.
W's Living Room bar is located on 181 3rd Street, with doors to open at 7 p.m.
Also definitely do not miss any of the city's other amazing Pride month parties!
