Trade
Leather Bar Name is a multilevel venue offers a spacious dance floor and a varied selection of music, though some patrons may find the DJ's preference for lesser-known electronica tracks less engaging. The atmosphere is lively, with a friendly staff and quality drinks contributing to an enjoyable experience.
The layout is notable for its three distinct floors and an outdoor patio area. However, the aggressive use of air freshener can be overpowering, potentially detracting from an otherwise pleasant evening. Additionally, while the staff is committed to enforcing rules, door security can be overly assertive, which may impact some visitors' overall experience.

Customer Reviews
Trade has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 280 reviews on Google
The new dance floor is great but the music could be so much better. They play tons of "electronica" that nobody knows which I think is the DJ's preference. Everyone keeps dancing but looking around like they can't wait for the song to change. A song may happen to come on that everyone knows and everyone goes crazy with excitement, that should be the sign to play different music.
Fun spot - great atmosphere, good service and good drinks! I’ll be back!
This past weekend was my first time visiting this club, and I truly enjoyed it. From what I remember, they have three floors, and there's an outdoor patio area. The drinks were good; the atmosphere was awesome.
I spent a nice time inside but as soon as I headed towards the exit I realized my friend was missing. I took one step outside, When I went to turn back in to find him a man grabbed the back of my jacket and thrusted me around saying "show your id!". I understand that you want to follow rules but putting your hands on a customer in that regard is extremely disrespectful and I was so shaken I will not be returning.
Layout is great, staff is friendly and drinks are good. The main issue is this nasty air freshener they pump through. It’s still all I can smell the next morning. It’s like a hotel lobby times 50 just assaulting the senses. I had an allergy attack and needed to spend most of the evening outside in the freezing smoker’s area, which frankly smelled better than the bar.
Largely true to its dive bar roots, this little 'hole in the wall that could' bar attracts all types of groups from drag to leather and everything in between and on the sides. Super nice outdoor space.
A great evening of fun and room to dance! Great wine deals and a ton of nice staff! The back patio is amazingly wonderful! Will definitely start the evening here next time! And then probably end up here as well!
