He also loves his dogs, hanging out at Slammer and his favorite thing about Florida is the men and the weather.

Slammer employs 2 of the sexiest bartenders in town Bob Bollen and Tom Carson. This is a private club for men (21 and over) only and membership is required. It’s not a bath house, but an edgy only in Ft Lauderdale club that is open from 8 pm (3 pm on weekends) until you’re done. Slammer is the place where men can cruise in jeans and no shirt or whatever you like. The club is known for supporting and working with the local and state health department to promote safe sex and many charities including Broward House, GLCC and Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.
Cab drivers still call it 321 from its Plato’s days and the large address sign.
They have lines out the doors on weekends, hot bartenders, security in the parking lot, with an extra lot being added last summer to handle the needed parking and a generator to keep open always.
They opened and the men came and since then Slammer has never closed. 3 years ago they bought the club, began by cleaning the place up, removing an old hot tub, taking down plastic chandeliers, installing up to date electrical and fire systems, putting in a kick ass sound system with a DJ in a cage and made the bar as sexy as hell.
With its grandfathered license status, location and bring your own bottle club license, they couldn’t resist. On the market at the time was Plato’s Retreat, a straight sex club down on its luck trying to do a couple of gay nights a week. The owners of Slammer had been in Ft Lauderdale and loved the energy, community, the beauty and of course the men.
As Fort Lauderdale approaches the 3rd anniversary of Slammer we thought we would sit down with the owners and bartenders and see what makes this successful club work.
