Stopgap Open Dungeon - Pride 2025!

Just one block away from the parade- come cool off, strip down, and get a little filthy in a space that queer leather built.

Take a break from the crowd, get out of the heat, socialize with community and/or play the day away!

We’re opening Stopgap all day long for our community to recharge, connect, and indulge. Whether you want to chill on a mattress in the cuddle room, dip into a casual scene in the dungeon, or just enjoy the vibe in good queer company, this is your home base for Pride.

Cruise. Nap. Play. Refill your water bottle. Or just enjoy clean bathrooms and a space that feels like ours.

And as the sun sets… we go darker.

After dark, the energy shifts. The lights go low, the beats go dirty, and the dungeon heats up. Whether you’ve been with us all day or you’re coming back for more, you’ll want to be ready.

Bring your perversion. Bring your curiosity. Bring your Pride - We’ll bring the rest.

Also: Catch our booth at Leather Alley at Pride!

LOCKERS!!! Lock it in - before someone locks you out!

Would you rather haul your stuff all over town all day? Or do you prefer to stash your gear while you parade and play? We’ve got a very limited number of lockers for rent - $20 in addition to your ticket gets you your own private, secure space for the whole day and night. Come back ready to drop in for the party, and your harness, toys, or outfit change will be waiting for you. Lockers are first come, first served.
