Event Details



The SoFo Tap · Andersonville

Bear Trap

The quarterly bear party for staying out past your bedtime.


Bear Trap is a night built for cruising, connection, and that charged moment when you know something hot is about to happen. The room fills up with bears, cubs, otters, chasers, and the folks who gravitate toward them. It runs social and flirty, heavy on eye contact, body language, and conversations that linger at the bar.

This is not your daddy's bear night, but the daddies will be here too. Come to be seen, scope the room, and meet the person you'll get into trouble with later. If you miss old school cruising, built slow and intentional, Bear Trap is where you belong.

About the venue

Sofo Tap is a neighborhood gay bar on North Clark Street in Andersonville, named for its spot just south of Foster Avenue. It's a low-key, local bar where you can talk without shouting, with an open layout inside and a large back patio that is the main draw in summer…

“Furry, friendly, and always fun! Always a great time at The SoFo Tap!” — Pat O'Rourke, Google
“Nice outdoor patio for the summer. Enjoying inside too though. Free popcorn!” — Christina Huynh, Google
