About this venue
If you're looking for the industrial heart of San Francisco’s kink scene, welcome to Transform1060. Formerly known as The Catalyst, this worker-owned, non-profit community space in SOMA is a dedicated sanctuary for leather, kink, and fetish education and play. It’s not just a club; it’s a mission-driven home for historically marginalized groups, prioritizing trans-inclusivity and queer safety above all else. Vibe: Sex-positive, educational, and raw. The space features two levels with dimly lit play areas, slings, beds, and a "porn lounge" for men’s parties, but also hosts bright, community-focused daytime events like the Fetish Flea.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Best arrival window
Transform1060 admission is event-specific and may require advance tickets, membership terms or an orientation rather than a normal bar line.
Busiest time
Choose the exact workshop, flea, social or play event; eligibility, consent protocol and amenities vary between programmes.
Locals vs visitors
Transform1060 feels local first—a broadly queer crowd, trans and non-binary guests, and leather and fetish regulars, familiar faces and neighbourhood regulars. Bigger events broaden the room, but it is not built as a tourist-only stop.
What to bring or wear
Follow the selected event's clothing, footwear and gear instructions; there is no useful building-wide nightlife dress rule.
Safety and inclusion
Transform1060 is a worker-owned nonprofit kink community space that foregrounds consent and trans inclusion; read the event policy before attending.
