You already know LeatherWerks is your one-stop destination for the best gear, the hottest styles, and the sexiest leather experience in Fort Lauderdale. BUT we’re also here to help you get the most you can out of your South Florida visit! Get a look at some of our recommendations for the best local spots to relax, drink, and cruise your way through the South Florida coast.
We know your top priority is finding the local watering hole. No need to look any further than the Ramrod Bar, the most authentic leather bar experience that hasn’t changed a screw, nut, and bolt since the days the doors opened in 1994. However, if you’re ready to dance your ass off and experience a little spit-and-shine on The Drive, check out Eagle Bar in Wilton Manors.
Of course, we also know your second priority is finding (or being) a hole. When you’re ready to rock the boat, drop into 321 Slammer and check out their massive play space. If you’re out for the sauna experience, step into The Club Fort Lauderdale to recharge your batteries. Then get back in the action at Clubhouse 2, a 24/7 club where you can let off your steam.
All that play makes a man hungry. Lucky for you, Fort Lauderdale has an awesome selection of restaurants to choose from. For a cocktail and some delicious food, get the experience of a Milk Money Bar and Kitchen brunch, lunch, or dinner. If you like to sit outside and watch the boys, have a meal and a glass of wine at APT 9F on The Drive. When you’re fixing for a margarita and some fiesta flavors, pop over to Tulio’s Tacos and Tequila Bar. Craving a local classic? Then we highly recommend Rosie’s Bar and Grill for their quirky comfort-food menu on their very festive patio.
When you look your best you feel your best, but maybe you need a touchup to tame some of that fur. Get groomed by making an appointment for a beard trim, haircut, or both at a leather-friendly barber like American Made Barber or the renowned no appointment needed Ron’s Barbershop.
Ready to kick your shoes off and get some rest and relaxation? Stay at the Cabanas Guesthouse & Spa for a premier gay men’s experience. Get a waterfront room and lounge out by one of the pools enjoying the sun and the sites… oh yeah, did we mention they’re clothing optional?
If this a special solo trip, or even one with you and your Leather Family for some time together, then commemorate your visit with a photoshoot done by Sylvester Q. He does everything from basic headshots to couples photos to kink shoots and artistic male physique shoots. He truly makes the everyday man feel like a model and you will leave feeling both sexy and empowered after shooting with him. Still feeling spontaneous and want to make this trip a time to remember? Head up to Amato and get that piercing that you have always wanted. With selections from simple earlobe piercings and multi-point surface piercings to genital piercings and even earlobe stretching. Their experienced staff is dedicated to your safety and satisfaction so you know that your cock will be in very good hands.
