About GayWhere
GayWhere is your guide to queer nightlife: events, parties, drag shows, fundraisers, brunches, happy hours, and the bars and venues that host them. All in one app. Live in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with more cities coming soon. We pull listings nightly from Eventbrite, venue websites, party promoters, and partner submissions. The result: one place where the queer events actually live, instead of scattered across Instagram stories, ticketing platforms, and group chats. WHAT YOU GET • Home: tonight, this weekend, or weeks out. Trending picks, what’s new, happy hours, and events from the venues and parties you follow. • Explore: every queer venue on a map. Bars, saunas, shops, and community spaces. Tap a pin to see what’s on tonight. • Friends: add friends with your link or QR code, see which events they’re going to, and invite them to yours. Going, Maybe or Can’t, so everyone knows who’s in. • Search: filter by event type (Dance Party, Drag, Brunch, Karaoke, and more), by community, or by date. • You: your plans and your profile in one place. Save events, follow venues, parties and communities, get notified when they announce something new, and get reminded before events you’ve saved. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Made by queer people, in San Francisco. • Updated nightly from ticketing platforms, venue websites, and party promoters. • Friends only by mutual consent: nobody sees your plans unless you both accept, and you can hide any event from friends. • Push notifications when venues, parties, or communities you follow announce new events. Toggle in settings. • Venues and promoters can spotlight their events right from the app. • Free. No account required to browse. Occasional ads, removable with GayWhere Premium. GAYWHERE PREMIUM If the app is useful, you can chip in. $2.99/month or $19.99/year for an ad-free experience, notifications when a friend is going and when friends are out tonight, dark/light mode lock, custom accent colors, and alternate app icons. A NOTE ON CONTENT GayWhere is for adults 18+. Listings come from public sources and partner venues. Profile photos are screened before anyone sees them, you can report or block any user, and anything off-policy is removed. PRIVACY Your precise location stays on your device: we use it to sort events by distance, that’s it. Your saved events are visible only to friends you accept, and your searches and follows are private. Full policy: gaywhere.app/privacy. Built for the queer community, starting in San Francisco and expanding city by city. Terms of Use: https://gaywhere.app/terms

What’s new
Version 1.5.1 · Updated October 19, 2026
Friends are here. Add friends with your personal link or QR code, see which events they plan to go to, and invite them with one tap. Answer Going, Maybe or Can’t, and see who’s coming on every event. Any plan can be hidden from friends. New in this version: finish your profile and, if you want, let people find you. Turn on the switch and the Friends tab shows people you may know: mutual friends, people going to the same events, people in your city. Off by default. Profiles now have a photo gallery, emoji, a bio, your city and your Instagram, Bluesky or Linktree. Sign in with Apple, Google, a phone number or an email code, no password needed. Venue, party and community pages got a cleaner header with hours, upcoming events and Follow in one place. Switching cities is smoother, and a few things got fixed along the way.
