The Weekly Woof! - August 4, 2026
The Bark
Happy Tuesday and welcome to August! Today is also the 2-year anniversary of The Weekly Woof!. Thanks for subscribing to the newsletter and helping keep the Bay Area an awesome place to be a pup!
I've been up at Lazy Bear this past week which has been a lot of fun, so I didn't get to make it out to the Woof! mosh and Frolic.
Coming up this week on Friday is the SF Queer Leather Happy Hour at the Eagle and on Sunday, Primal at Powerhouse.
One other item of note, there will be no BarkCade this month (August). BarkCade will be back for September though.
Hope you have a great week!
Slut Puppy: Summer Sunset
Friday, August 21, 2026 • 8PM–2AM
Lone Star Saloon • 1354 Harrison St, SF
$7–$10 • slut-puppy.com
Heat still on the pavement. Sky bleeding orange into pink. That kind of night.
Slut Puppy comes back to Lone Star Saloon Friday, August 21st — hot, slow, and dripping in gold light. Strip down to the skin the season's already begging you to show. Speedos, swim trunks, harnesses, mesh, whatever clings. This is a night for bare skin and sweat under low light. Clothes check takes what you don't need. DJ's spinning something slow enough to melt into.

Bark Before Dark: Folsom
Friday, September 25, 2026 • 5PM–9PM
The Stud • 1123 Folsom St, SF
$15–$20 • barkbeforedark.com
Back for Folsom! Bark Before Dark, your favorite happy hour for pups, pets, and handlers, is back at The Stud.
Bark Before Dark is equal parts social hour and sensory playground. Spend the golden hour mingling in the outdoor mosh space, let loose in the indoor play area, or just soak in the atmosphere on the dance floor while our DJs keep the energy moving and our gogo dancers keep things interesting. Whether you're deep in the scene or just pup-curious, the vibe is welcoming, playful, and unapologetically queer.
Bark Before Dark has always been about community, a chance to find your crew before the weekend sweeps you up in its kinky chaos. Come early, stay late, and head into Folsom weekend already feeling the love. Spots are limited and this one fills up fast, so grab your tickets early. Prices range from $15–$20. Leash up, gear up, or show up exactly as you are!
