Dirty Boots

It’s Folsom bro — and there’s nothing kinkier than fucking around with men dressed like your bullies from Highschool. 😈

When the Stud opened in 1964 the Leather District was full of menswear themed kink bars, where horny men dressed in workwear, western wear and uniforms danced to disco and hooked up in dark rooms.

Dirty Boots brings back the heydays of the Leather District with our popular menswear cruising night.

Leave your dirty pig hat and Amazon harness at home for this one. Instead throw on that old jock strap, a pair of dickies or vintage Levi’s, a wife pleaser and your camo hat.

If you put on your sexiest menswear fit and we’ll help you take it off.

Resident DJ: John Fucking Cartwright

Special Guest: Odd Oswald

When you’re rejected by our team of Varsity Dancers, cool off with a good pump in the dark locker room provided by The Communal Toy. And if that’s not hot enough for you, Rush KNK in the humiliation competition to see who is the biggest nerd of the night.
