The Bark

Happy Tuesday, hope you had a great 4th of July! Great to see you all out at Bark•Cade and the SF Queer Leather Happy Hour. Also, apologies for the mis-print in last week's newsletter about Dog Haus. I've been told that it's on hiatus but plans to return soon.

Coming up this week on Thursday is Rubber Ducky at Power house and Rope Burn at StopGap. On Sunday, Primal is at Powerhouse. Not the busiest week of events but Dore Alley is only two weeks away.

Hope you have a great week!

We're back for Dore! Bark Before Dark, your favorite happy hour for pups, pets, and handlers, is back at The Stud - Friday, July 24, 2026, 5pm to 9pm.

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. There's no better way to kick off Dore weekend than surrounded by your pack. 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 Dore 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! Use discount code: WEEKLYWOOF26DORE for 20% off your tickets, exclusive to Weekly Woof! subscribers.
