Studs Bear/Leather Bar Expands to Two Floors

BUSINESS

By Jerry Jones

STUDS BEAR/LEATHER BAR ON BASILIO BADDIO HAS EXPANDED TO TWO FLOORS, TAKING OVER SPACE THAT WAS OCCUPIED BY THERAPY BAR.

Mike Owens, owner, said the expansion was necessary due to the popularity of Studs. It is the only bear/leather bar in Puerto Vallarta. Construction was finished in late December 2022, and a newly installed staircase connects both floors. Customers will see the familiar black/red colors from the upstairs Studs bar now flowing into the downstairs area as well.

“Studs was bursting at the seams on many nights,” Owens said. “And as the area’s only bear/leather bar, we knew it would be popular. We just had to expand the area and create more space. Upstairs will continue to be men only.” “And if you are hungry you can purchase food and eat in the downstairs area,” Owens said. “The food menu has expanded to include a few more finger food choices. The very popular sushi is still on the menu, and he said you can now order the full menu via home delivery on Uber Eats and Rappi.

More seating has been added in the downstairs area. The bar is open from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., seven days a week. Happy hour is from 6 to 8 p.m. everyday. The bar menu includes beer, classic cocktails, and a small assortment of wine.

“We are playing classic rock from the DJ booth from 6 to 9 p.m.,” explained Hector Morales, director of operations. “And at 9 p.m. we play techno music. Our sound system allows us to play the same or different music for each floor of the bar, so we’re excited to be able to experiment with what we can do.” Go go boys are performing on both floors, and the very popular gear shop has been expanded to offer more items on the first floor. Theme nights like jockstrap night, leather night, and lights out night are offered on different nights of the week.

“Those events have been so popular,” Morales said. “We’re excited that we have been able to expand the events and create more space for our customers.”

The bar is hiring servers, go go dancers, and bartenders. If you are interested in a position you can email Hector Morales at hector. morales@barworksmx.com.
