Expect Great Service!Bulldog Baths opened in 1978 and soon emerged as the largest gay bathhouse in the USA. Available evidence suggests it marketed itself using a highly suggestive array of posters, advertisements and other paraphernalia such as discounted entry coupons. It touched upon the hyper-masculine side with a BDSM flavour and was well known for its prison-like décor.
An advertisement for Bulldog Baths appears in the official souvenir circulated for the 1980 pride event, showing that the business was closely associated with organisation of the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day celebrations.
Bulldog Baths were forced to shut down in 1984 amidst a crackdown on gay bathhouses as part of a backlash of the AIDS pandemic. In 2012, the premises where the Bulldog Baths functioned were recognized in the National Register of Historic Places and awarded a commemorative plaque. In 2014, a dog-grooming café opened its doors on 130-132 Turk Street with the same name! As the COVID pandemic began to subside in spring 2022, it was anticipated that a branch of ‘Eros’, a sex club chain would open here in time for the Pride in summer
