Your unique identity and experiences enrich our community, and we look forward to sharing this special experience with you.

Consent and respectful behavior required. Read the event rules and consent guidelines.

Accessibility Notes:

The entrance to the space is on the ground floor and is fully-accessible, including lockers, social areas, play areas, and two accessible bathrooms. The basement of the venue can only be reached via stairs. There will be music playing throughout the night, and ear plugs are available for free at the front desk. There are colored lights in use throughout the venue, including rotating “party lights” for ambiance. Cell phones are prohibited from being used in the venue and must be stored; however, you may speak to a host about reasonable accommodations if needed for things such as continuous glucose monitoring.

COVID-19 Safety Measures:

1. All guests MUST take a rapid test on the day of the event, before arriving, and write the date on the test or immediately next to the test.
2. Take a photo of the negative test & show it to the door guard when you arrive.
3. We will have a limited number of tests for sale at $25 each in case anyone is unable to pretest.

Dress Code:

Kinky, leather, sexy, or all black—dress to impress yourself. Rock that head-turning outfit, whether it’s your favorite leather corset, sleek black suit, or a sexy little number that makes you feel unstoppable.

While dressing to the theme is strongly encouraged in order to help maintain the immersive ambiance of the night, lingerie or general fetishwear are also welcome as are dungeon blacks. We encourage you to dress up - make an effort to impress but if nothing else comes to mind then dress as you would for a fancy night out.

Please be mindful that you might have to wait in line outside (it may be cold) and that you are welcome to arrive in regular clothes and then change into your kinky outfit once you get inside!
