- The Hole – Not for the faint of heart. Downstairs at the Jackhammer for sex pigs with a strict dress code on weekends.
- 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.

- The SoFo Tap – Leather-friendly neighbourhood bar South of Foster with a bustling outdoor patio.
- Touché – Long running classic leather bar with friendly staff. The crowd tends to be a bit older, the beer is cheap, and the porn is on mute, so there’s plenty of cruising potential for leather and Levi men fans.
