Tampa's leather and Levi bar — Towel Thursdays and Pup Nights.
MR D'z is Tampa's leather and Levi bar, opened in 2023 on North Nebraska Avenue to fill the gap left when the city's earlier leather hangout closed. The smoke-free room keeps things functional and unpretentious: two fenced patios, a dance floor, and free lockers. The calendar is built around the community it serves, with regular nights for bears, pups, and the leather crowd, including weekly Take It Off Tuesdays, Craft Cocktail Wednesdays, the Latin-bear Noche de Oso Latino on the first and third Fridays, and a monthly Bear Soup gathering. It draws a friendly, come-as-you-are mix rather than a velvet-rope crowd. If you're into gear, or just want a low-key night with that community, this is the spot in town.
