Free Kinky/Queer SOMA Walking Tour “SOMA Bars & Bathhouses”

Join us on our free 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 bars and clubs, and what they used to be, including one on Folsom with a swimming pool.
