- The Jackhammer Complex With three large club areas dedicated to dance, sports and leather plus a huge outdoor patio, Jackhammer features a varied lineup of live music, international fetish events and its notorious underwear party. It’s best and busiest at the weekend.
- Sidetrack – Leather-friendly bar in Boystown with fun and busy Show Tunes on Sundays. The monthly Woof Wednesday night sees the young clientele don their gear and get wild, with a helping hand from the signature frozen cocktails.
