Purgatory Gifford House

(44 Ratings)
Like it rough?

The dance bar below the Gifford House hosts underwear parties, leather dance parties with darker house music, men in leather attire, and non-stop cruising. One of the hotspots during Bear Week- one of the largest celebrations of big bears, otters, and more in the world!

only rough around the edges

purgatory is a fun bar, some nights karaoke, some nights dancing, depends on their schedule. the bartenders are helpful and attentive. theres a pool table, and pinball too. they have a cool wall showcase with some graphic terms and details on buttons for purchase. many would be considered x-rated, but very popular!

...full house of leather

Leave your attitude on the beach and bring your leather. Fun crowd.

ugh put some pants on

I was told this was the spot. Not on the night my friends and I were there. I can't believe i spent $10 to go into this place and see 50 somethings in there tighty whities with stuffed crotches. it was a huge let down. And the guys hate women there I noticed. Way to live up to the sterotypes. Never again.

Check it out on underwear night (in season)

Fun bar and a nice place to check out that is different from most of the bars on Ptown in that it is below ground and does not have an outside section to it.
