The Spike Sweatshirt (West Hollywood Leather Bar/1978-2009/Vintage Effect) Color:Forest Green The final night of operationSpike Leather Bar (Hollywood, California) Part of Hollywoods hard edged leather and cruising nightlife, Spike was one of those bars whose name alone set the tone. Short, sharp, and unapologetic, it belonged to a generation of gay leather bars that favored darkness, attitude, and ritual over polish or spectacle. This was nightlife built on codesboots at the door, low light, loud music, and the understanding that the room spoke for itself.
