Altær is an experience that centers trans & queer people.

All are welcome! The safety and freedom of expression of our communities is our top priority, so we've included 3 simple 'rules'.

You can touch if given consent, and if you tip well-- both are mandatory.

There may be nudity, so no photo or video.

Dancers will rotate through the space throughout the night and you may approach someone(s) for a private dance. Each dancer names their own price and negotiations. Party in our main room and enjoy all of the dancers rotate and hypnotize you. Bring an offering to add to our altar of the night (stones, flowers, trinkets, etc) and please bring cash to tip our dancers. Last call is at 1:30am.

This is a sacred space.Please be respectful and generous.

The Dirty Talk Game Show

Tickets here!

Join us for our return with a new venue, the Stud.
Featuring: JD, Polly Eurathane, Mx River Ryder and Christina D!

The Dirty Talk Game Show pits four naughty-tongued panelists fighting each other and the clock to say just the right thing.
In turn each naughty panelist is given a topic to talk about for sixty seconds without repeating themselves, pausing too long, or deviating from the subject (They can be deviants, they just can't deviate from the subject). If they do any of that, the other panelists pounce and steal the timer and finish it out. The winner with the most naughty points will be crowned the Filthiest Mouth in San Francisco. Join us to cheer on your favorite naughty panelist!
