Black Thorn is a clean, beautiful, well-equipped dungeon located in the lovely Lake Merritt area of the San Francisco Bay Area. Featuring 5 themed play rooms, over 12 high-quality play stations, and all manner of implements, bondage gear, and accessories, Black Thorn is able to accommodate a diverse array of fetish and fantasy interests and role-play scenarios.

Other offerings include free parking, secure Wifi, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, two leather couches, adjustable lighting, heating, a video projector and screen, and music in every room.

Black Thorn is available for private rental to artists, couples or groups seeking to refine their skills, explore relationship dynamics, and express themselves in a safe and supportive environment.

Black Thorn is also available as a photography studio! We invite photographers and videographers looking for a well-appointed, elegant dungeon with a dramatic BDSM themed set design to come by for a tour.

Black Thorn Events offers an educational program through classes with knowledgable and respected instructors. Learn about safety, skills, consent, communication, and creativity in BDSM play. At this time all events are online. You are encouraged to drop in and learn how to play artfully and responsibly!

Please note that no illegal activities are allowed on premises, and all play is safe, sane, and consensual between adults of legal age.

Renters will be expected to sign a waiver confirming their age and afore mentioned legal agreements.
