One of the things that many visitors want to check out while they’re in San Francisco but that locals also love is this city’s drag shows. There are many different drag queens and drag kings who perform throughout San Francisco at various events but if it’s just any old day of the week and you want to see drag, where would you go?

Here are some of the best ongoing drag shows in San Francisco:

• The Hotboxxx Girls. This is one of the hottest drag shows in the city and one of the easiest to go see since it happens every Friday night and every Saturday night at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge. It starts at 10 with a $5 cover and it’s really popular so reservations are recommended. Aunt Charlie’s also has a drag show on Wednesday’s called the Dream Queen’s Revue which has no cover charge.
• Pink Slip. I don’t know a lot about this show yet because it’s relatively new (a few months old I believe). It’s at The Stud every Tuesday night at 11.
• Hayes Valley Follies. This is a show that doesn’t cost a cover and it happens every single week on Saturday nights at ten. It’s at Marlena’s in the hot Hayes Valley neighborhood.
• Charlie Horse. This one is at The Cinch, a dive-y little saloon on Polk Street where the drinks are strong and the girls are too. It’s hosted by former Miss Trannyshack Anna Conda and you get two-for-one well drink specials and popcorn with your show.
• Sunday’s a Drag. If you like your drag fancy rather than in some dive bar then maybe this one is for you. It’s brunch-and-a-show which you pay $50 for and that includes the meal and some cocktails and your queens. It happens on Sunday early afternoons at Harry Denton’s Starlight Lounge.
• Fauxgirls. This is a once-monthly drag show that happens at Kimo’s on Polk Street on the 3rd Saturday night of every month. There are a few reasons to check this one out. Number one, it’s been going on for eight years so these performers know what they’re doing. Number two, it’s fabulous. Number three, it’s free to get in.
• Esta Noche Shows. This is a bar that I’m not familiar with but I’ve just recently read about it and think that I might need to go check it out. It’s in the Mission, it’s been around forever and apparently there are tons of different drag shows there all throughout the week.

These are the best ongoing drag shows that I know of in San Francisco. Got any to add?
