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!
