The Venue

Night Bazaar will take place at Stopgap in San Francisco. The exact address will be shared with ticket holders. For planning purposes, we're in SoMa, about a 10-minute walk from the UN Plaza/Civic Center BART station.

The two-floor building has a long history in San Francisco's kink community as one of the former homes of the SF Citadel. Today, Stopgap features a large, fully equipped dungeon playspace combining restored equipment from the Citadel with much of AfterDark's own equipment.

Stopgap provides safety and hygiene supplies, clean sheets, and more, creating an elevated kink experience where you can show up ready to socialize, connect, and play.

Buy your ticket early. Save money. Guarantee your spot.

Accessibility

The entrance to the space is on the ground floor, which includes lockers, social areas, two bathrooms, and an accessible play space. There are no steps on the ground floor. Each bathroom is single-stall, with grab bars on the wall and toilets mounted to the floor. The basement contains additional play areas and can only be reached via stairs.

There will be music playing throughout the night, and earplugs are available free at the front desk. Colored lights are used throughout the venue, including rotating “party lights” for ambiance.

Please help us keep the space safer by staying home if you have symptoms of COVID-19, a cold, the flu, or another respiratory illness.

Cell phones may not be used inside the venue and must be stored. If you need access to your phone for an accessibility or medical reason, such as continuous glucose monitoring, please speak with a host about reasonable accommodations.

If you have any accessibility questions, please email us in advance at info@afterdark-events.com.

Dress Code

Whatever makes you feel like you are confident or comfortable. Please be mindful that you might have to wait in line outside (it may be cold) and that you are welcome to arrive in regular clothes and then change into your kinky outfit once you get inside!

Connect

As with all AfterDark events, we'll have role stickers at the party to help identify and spark connections. We'll also be using our wristband system to make it easier for people to appropriately initiate social interactions.

Yellow wristband: You're comfortable being respectfully approached about the possibility of play.

Red wristband: You prefer not to be approached about play, although you may be open to conversations about other things. Let someone wearing red bring up play. Don't bring it up to them.
