Europa
In the heart of Castro Street is a club called the Europa. Although definitively a gay establishment, the Europa is extremely popular among trendy teens and affluent/hip dot.com’ ers looking for an exotic venue for their straight dates. The Friday night Drag Show and Fag Hag Appreciation Thursdays draw a packed house, while Imperium Rex Saturdays pits San Francisco’ s hottest DJs against each other in a duel of the newest techno tracks. Vampires love Europa, if only because its Mardi Gras feel and throbbing bass deceives them into believing they’re actually alive for that evening.
