Revision as of 10:50, 7 July 2024

Leather bars and clubs played a key role in the development of the gay leather scene, providing a gathering space for the community and a point of entry into the scene for newcomers, as well as turning leather into a consumable aesthetic and identity, often enforced by dress codes. They are considered the first distinct subgenre of gay bars, and with their characteristic visuals are often depicted as gay bars' most iconic form. Designated leather bars started appearing between the 1950s and 1960s in major cities of the U.S., exploding in popularity in the 1970s.[1] Usually, leather bars were found in industrial and working-class city neighborhoods, like South of Market in San Francisco, the Manhattan Meatpacking District and the Munich Glockenbachviertel.[2]

Dresscode at the Mineshaft

Many bars imposed dress codes on their patrons

women often not allowed either

After the outbrake of HIV in the U.S. a nationwide political campaign to close sex clubs, bathhouses and similar establishments was successfully implemented, and within a few years many institutions that had played a central role within the community were shut down. The forced closing of bathhouses and increased regulation of leather bars sped up the ongoing gentrification in big cities, that already threatened their existence, so that the leather districts shrank rapidly after the explosive expansion of the 1970s.

1990s: Advent of the internet

2020s: many closings due to covid, prevalence of events instead of bars
