2008 | Best New Drag Show

While the drag mainstays in town are well established at this point, a few new festive freak shows have popped up in the last year with the ambition to provide San Francisco with even more fluidly gendered, three-minute onstage histrionics. While a handful fizzled out after a whirl or two, humble start-up Cocktailgate spent the year building a larger audience and a more expansive roster of local performers.

2008 | Best Gay Bar

Located in an unlikely corner of the world -- part Mission, part SOMA, and a long, drunk walk from the Castro -- Truck feels like the handsome lovechild of Moby Dick and Daddy's (er, "440 Castro"), except without the tourists.

We hope this newest trend in decadent female impersonation continues.
