SLM Copenhagen

SLM Copenhagen, or Scandinavian Leather Men, is the largest gay fetish club in Scandinavia and one of the biggest in Europe, a member-run institution operating just off Town Hall Square since 1974. Its two-story space packs in two bars, a large play area, a wet room, and a labyrinthine basement of dark rooms, slings, and BDSM equipment. Themed nights run to leather, rubber, uniform, army, skinhead, sportswear, denim and construction, with a strictly enforced dress code, and it draws a broad, mostly mature crowd of gay and bisexual men. Volunteer-run with a strong fetish-brotherhood ethos, it also produces a big week of parties during Copenhagen Pride each August.
