About STEAM towel party san francisco

What is STEAM Towel Party SF?

Originally an iconic LA party, STEAM made its San Francisco debut on November 30th with an unforgettable first edition that brought the heat to The Stud San Francisco.

Picture this: a bathhouse vibe—at a club! STEAM is a gay towel party where the dress code is simple: just a towel. It’s a night designed for fun, freedom, and connection in a steamy, judgment-free atmosphere.

Whether you’re here to dance to sexy beats, mingle with towel-clad guests, or simply soak in the vibe, STEAM creates a space where you can let loose, feel confident, and enjoy an unmissable night.

Get ready for the next edition—more dates coming soon!

What to wear?

Wondering what to wear? A towel is the ultimate gear, but feel free to express yourself! Leather up in harnesses and jockstraps, or go casual with a simple top-off or tank top. Sport your sports gear, wrap up in a bathrobe, or see and be seen in anything mesh. Every gear is welcome at STEAM – if it makes you feel hot, it's the right choice.

THE STUD SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco’s legendary LGBT bar and iconic drag spot, The Stud, has relocated and is gearing up for a fabulous reopening at 1123 Folsom Street in the heart of the Leather District! After 57 years of unforgettable nights (and still acting 21), The Stud is getting a major glow-up with a brand-new stage, dance floor, dressing rooms, and a killer sound system. But to make this dream a reality, we need support from our amazing nightlife community. Help us bring back the magic, so we can party again by the end of winter!

COAT CHECK

Get ready to show off your hottest towel looks– there's a coat check so you don't have to worry about carrying it around all night.
