Some of the best nights of my life have been spent here! SF Oasis is the go-to venue for drag, cabaret, comedic live theatre and quality nightlife. Diversity in programming and clientele make this a true only in San Francisco destination. Even through the pandemic, Oasis remains committed to its mission of creating quality, queer entertainment and a safe place for everyone. Viva Oasis!!

Ive been to Oasis a few times since theyve opened during the pandemic. It was the first time I had seen a drag show in months! The performances were top notch! Its been wonderful to see friends and interact with other people after such a long hiatus (socially distanced, of course)!The staff takes great pains to make sure everyone is practicing safety protocols and has a full cocktail in front of them! If you can get a table on the rooftop, its a unique experience in San Francisco.Visiting Oasis is a fun, delightful way to spend an afternoon catching up with friends. Its really whats needed to let you know San Francisco still has a vibrant drag scene!

Oasis is SOOOOO FUN! If you are ever wonder to yourself, I want to do something cool and fun tonight.... Look no further, this is the place to be. Staff is super friendly, the performers are outrageous, and its the ONLY DRAG CLUB OPEN DURING COVID!!!!! Get out (where a mask) and support this club. We need it to stay around.

Sf oasis is a wonderful venue full of amazing and supportive staff and featuring (and fostering) incredible talent!!! i have been blessed to be able to perform here as well as attend countless events that have been groundbreaking and immeasurably valuable, not just for myself but for SF as a whole - we are so lucky to have a venue like this one, owned by a queen and run by the fiercest and finest! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Oasis is always a fabulous time. Ive seen so many fun shows here and cant wait for another indoor stage production. Perhaps youre reading here to see how it is during the pandemic, though? Totally safe, outside shows--There is parklet and rooftop seating. Ya know, drag queens couldnt pole dance on a parking meter or grind a bike parking rack when it was inside, so now they have some new street props to enjoy for your entertainment! People who work here are friendly and fun, food and drinks are safely delivered to your table, and you can laugh, eat, and love here...

Oasis is my night club home! They have drag shows, dance parties, cabaret, afternoons/nights on the roof, and fundraisers - truly something for everyone. An incredible cast of creative regulars and a great community spot with so much to offer - even during COVID! Definitely a local business worth supporting.

Oasis is the best place in SF for drag/musicals/theater/drinks and food! Always a hoot there! Think of it as your favorite neighborhood hangout like CHEERS, only DArcy is Kirstey Alley! haha. They also are Covid safe and have outdoor seating with drag shows and Meals on Heels delivery service. Cher was even there!

While not everyone there knows my name, Ive always felt like Oasis was my Cheers Bar. Its one of the few bars/clubs that Ive never felt weird going to by myself - I know Ill either run into people there I know or Ill meet new people because the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming. The shows are also always guaranteed to entertain, whether local or national acts. Ive never had a bad time at the Oasis.

Oasis t=is the club to go too. The best shows, the best vibe, no attitude and makes you feel welcome from the minute you enter the club. It is like the gay clubhouse we all need at this time in SF. Shows and club events very reasonably priced. SIMPLY THE BEST.

Dining and Drag at Oasis was so much fun. The service, the cocktails, and of course the entertainment were all perfectly on point. They partner with a few local restaurants, so you are supporting multiple businesses during a very trying time. Amazing experience overall!

Hands down THE SF destination to see top-notch drag in San Francisco! This is a venue where drag performance is the focus, not an afterthought. True highlights are the one-woman shows by drag legends old and new, the drag TV parodies and of course Darcys own hilarious original ensemble theater comedy. All that and awesome, friendly staff!

Review №12

Love the outdoor rooftop shows and dinner....food from the legendary Don Ramons, followed by a show from the legendary Oasis! Darcy is clearly the hardest working person in Show Biz....shes put together a great solution that we hope continues for months to come....Dinner and Drag is just what we need to get us through this tumultuous time....And they follow COVID compliance so you feel safe all around.

The pandemic has been difficult but this place really lives up to its name. The roof bar is beautiful, the parklet is fun, socially distanced table seating, fabulous drag performers, generous staff. This place is truly a haven in this dreary time. Thank you Darcy and Oasis staff

The Oasis is my favorite hang out. All sorts of interesting and festive shows. D’Arcy has the energy and charisma of 10 people! They are smart utilizing their roof and sidewalk space to keep the fun coming.️️️

Review №17

As two Brits who count SF as our second home, no visit is complete without copious trips, nights, laughs, cocktails, drag and cheer at the Oasis. Run brilliantly by a team who care about service, performance and community, the Oasis felt like that historically important place the LGBT scene would talk about with rose tinted specs. The curious thing is its a newish venue with very new, savvy and fresh ideas - none more so than the ways it has navigated 2020 and a community and sense of drag that could have been cut off from one another. Seeing the Oasiss work for the community and to keep itself afloat on world news us validation of what DArcy and Heklina founded.

Love, love, LOVE Oasis! So happy they are managing how to survive during a pandemic so well, with excellent socially distant drag shows, food and amazing drinks. I highly recommend making a reservation for a safe night out! Major props to Darcy, Snaxx, Sophia, Lisa, and the rest of the crew for keeping live drag alive in Soma!

Celebrated my birthday here on a Friday night. From my initial inquiry, all the way to the end of the night, everything was awesome. Sarah helped me out, and answered all the questions I had. It was super easy to book a table, and their prices are very reasonable!!!!The hosts of the night were awesome, and they always made sure everything was good. They played hip hop, top 40, recent hits.I definitely recommend OASIS for a night out or to celebrate!!!

The SF Oasis is the most fun youll ever have during a night out - and very San Francisco. Drag queens, great cocktails and more await you at one of SFs best venues. Darcy Drollinger, aka the queen of SFs drag, oversees all the hilarity with fun, gobsmacking looks and class (well, maybe not that kind of class. . .!!!). During COVID, theyre doing Meals on Heels and delivering drag and dinner to your doorstep - or you can while away an evening at their parklet or rooftop oasis with live performances. Simply put, the Oasis is THE BEST.

You know youre in for an interesting evening as soon as you walk in the door. There is the front end of a jeep serving as a table top for the bar area. Im not the most adventurous foodie, but the food was amazing here and I would recommend this to even the most picky eater.

One of, if not the best, places to see live drag in the city. Right now they have dinning on the rooftop and the parklet outside. The shows always have top notch performers throughout the afternoon/evening.The food is wonderful, they paired with to great neighborhood restaurants so Im not surprised. The drinks are strong and the staff are kind and friendly. DArcy Drollinger and her crew have made this a fabulous and safe space for community, drag, and joy to take root.Highly recommend!

If you are looking for amazing entertainment, delicious cocktails, and just amazing vibes make sure you check out Oasis! Also during these hard times Oasis has been a leader in creating a new normal when it comes to drag shows while staying completely sanitary and keeping patrons and staff save!

I love Bootie!!! On so many levels its truly hard to express. I get there super early to be one of the first on the dance floor and get my CD. Thankfully now there are two nights, crowding is less of a problem now. I still have a little dance space well into the night.

What a terrible venue! The stage is small and the ceilings are low... On top of that, add a mass packed crowd. I couldnt 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, its nice and airy until you encounter cigarette smokers.

Review №44

As much as I loved the venue and the show, the woman at the front door was incredibly rude. She tried to stop me as I came in with my two friends and it took us a solid ten minutes of her trying to force me to buy another ticket before she checked her list and realized there were in fact three tickets for the three of us already bought. Ditch her and keep doing fabulous shows!!!

Came for Shamilton which was sold out online but messaged the venue specifically on FB and was told there would be tickets available at the door. Waited for approx. an hour outside the venue before the doors opened to make sure we were first in, only to get inside and be told there were no tickets available.Why would you tell us to be there/there would be tickets available if you knew you wouldnt have any? We were really excited to see it and so disappointed to have that happen.

PHENOMENAL Sex and the City Drag show! From the second it started my group and I were laughing our butts off! The performers were top notch and we loved the opening film! We also loved how you could get Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha themed drinks! We are already planning on seeing it again! We even got to take a picture with the cast! How cool.

Although the plays are fun to watch , the way the host lady treats customers is unbelievable. Rudeness as its finesse. She must be a manager there as there is no way they would keep a staff member in a facing customer job behaving like this in 2019.

Hipster spot on LES. 3 different stage with different bands playing nightly. Usually at least 1 of 3 dont have a cover charge. Many famous performers started their career playing here. Always a good time. Good for a random night, date or if your feeling some live tunes.

This is one of the best nightlife places in America. This is a drag club. They have cabaret some nights with shows. Other nights it is party. Check the calendar but go anytime. This is a true San Francisco place.

I always enjoy coming here - great happy hour bar and fantastic shows later in the evening! Weve been fortunate to see some great talent! Its always great to run into Heklina too or get to visit with her on Fridays! We are love that a great bar is so close to our place - its definitely at the top of our list if not #1!

My new favorite bar, club and performance space in SF. All the other bars have become all like the other bars and so on .. Oasis is a breath of fresh air in SF . The performances are fantastic. Its like your local bar turned up about 100 times. Bar staff are friendly and sexy. DArcy and Heklina welcomes everyone like they have known you forever. Thanks guys for creating this awesome venue.

Dont go here if you are with a group, its not allowed!!! .... My friends and I tried to go to watch the Brittany vs Christina show , at the door we were asked why the tickets were purchased together and not individually, we were also asked if we were celebrating anything specific. We bought the tickets as a group because we coordinated going via group text and 1 of the girls offered to buy them all. We were not celebrating anything specific, just decided to go to SF for a girls weekend. Even the people in line were annoyed that we couldnt go inside, we had made friends while standing in line.

It is a terrible place. Do not even waste your time. They do not even know their working hours. I tried to eat something like I did one week ago at the same time but they said that they are closed. So amateur.

If only sorry was a currency... Having screwed us over the entrance charge and drinks, an apology from the Manager hardly softened the disappointment. What should have been a fun night turned out to feel like a scam.If youre thinking of going, research beforehand because sadly you cant trust the staff :(

Some of the smartest and funniest entertainment Ive ever enjoyed has been in this classy joint! DArcy Drollinger and Heklina really understand satire. Michael Phillis and Rory Davis and their Baloney Boys certainly play on sex appeal, but always with humor and irony. Every show Ive seen here has been satisfying, and really funny. I took my Russian cousins to see DISASTROUS and they laughed themselves crazy.

Im bummed I wasnt there on one of the nights with a show, as they look pretty fun. Saturday night scene is rude and pushy; the bartender wasnt much better. Its mostly the crowd thats too dumb to live in New York and too ugly to live in L.A. Cheap drinks saved them from fewer stars...
