About RAMROD
- Darkroom/
Cruising - Fetish, Leather
RAMROD in Fort Lauderdale stands as a legendary spot for the leather, Levi, and uniform crowd. The venue exudes a gritty, masculine vibe with its dark decor and welcoming, no-attitude atmosphere, drawing in locals, tourists, and newcomers alike to cruise and connect.
Visitors enjoy a dedicated cruise bar featuring a pool room, Skull & Boner Patio Bar, and signature events like Thursday's Battle of the Bulge contests with cash prizes for winners. Fridays bring Leather and Fetish Gear Night with DJ Pup Rockit, Sundays host Leather Night, and the monthly Pig Dance packs the dance floor with high-energy beats and an inflatable pig mascot. Bootblack services add to the authentic experience.
Pioneering the Wilton Manors gay district, RAMROD opens daily from 9am with no cover charge, serving drinks, music, and camaraderie. It's the enduring home of South Florida's leather community, embracing everyone from lifestyle enthusiasts to the curious in a timeless, inclusive space.
