Holy Cow (San Francisco Queer Club/1987-2022) oklahoma gay bar Captain Billy Bangs’ — PortlandHoly Cow San Francisco T Shirt For 35 years, Holy Cow on 11th Street was one of SoMas most reliable portals into late night queer chaos a club where dancers, drag queens, leather folks, ravers, DJs, and weekend wanderers all mixed under the same pulsing lights. Opening in 1987, it lived through waves of house music, the rise of SoMa as a nightlife district, the dot com booms, and the era when the neighborhood became a kind of queer rite of passage.
