SOMA Origins: Bars, Bathhouses and Beyond – Walking Tour

May 21, 2023 @ 2:00 pm MDT

Join us on our first walking tour: SOMA Origins: Bars, Bathhouses and Beyond

Now a world-wide leather/kinky/queer destination, SOMA (South of Market) began attracting leather bars in the ’60’s. Find out why!
Learn about the raucous exploits of the ’70’s when motorcycles lined the streets outside popular bars.

Hear about today’s bar and clubs and what they used to be, including one on Folsom with a swimming pool.

Sunday, May 21, 2pm
Tour starts at 9th and Ringold, ends at the SF Eagle in time for the Sunday Beer Bust.
90 minutes, no hills.
Free! Space is limited; advance registration required. https://sfleatherdistrict.com/civicrm/event/info/
