Studs (formerly Tomkat Theater)
51commentscruiser Update 2/8/2008: management informed me and [a cute boy who was with me I picked up] about several rather major changes they are adding in two weeks. In brief, they include all new state the art video monitors equipment, seating, etc. most major of which includes a whole pumping dance music sound system to be operated on the weekends by a hot DJ proving current hot music playing over the sounds from the os. Also, they will often feature a live star to perform on a new stage. The first one is to appear in a couple weeks.. I forget the name he said but he is in the movie The Buckaroos. In short, they are really sprucing up the place to attract hot young studs to live up to their new name. I truly found his overall enthusiasm and description be very promising. Finally, he mentioned their new website about all this will launch in a week or so. You may be interested in contacting them directly for more specific details! Previous Description: The movies are usually new male o. They change the movies every other Friday. Anything goes here. (Editor: This is so; quite the spot.)

I haven't been to this dump in over three months! Acquaintances of mine, tell me that the place is practically empty especially after 9 pm. I still fault max the attorney owner for tracy taylor's demise for refusing to provide adequate health coverage. This outspoken super wealthy liberal could easily afforded to do so thus our friends life could have been saved. The owner vehemently refuses to lower the admission!! He hasn't figured out that cosmetic changes such as new theatre entrance doors, curtains surrounding the upstairs windows or re-painting the walls isn't going to lure in more people. Pick pockets, theatre urineaters and cell phone cameras are major problems that max continually ignores. The only good news is that booker & cruz are no longer there. Studs theatre

I just learned some fantastic news that cruz is no longer an employee. This should make your visit much more pleasant. Let's hope that management will reduce the admission and some of the better looking guys will return.

There is a now a public parking lot just east of the theater. Makes finding a parking space a breeze. No more trying to find a spot on the street within a decent distance from the theater. Have to pay but its pretty inexpensive.

Over priced. Not worth the $18 admission D

I agree with stiffnLa criticism of NatalieGrace but have a question for him. Are you the tall thin guy that goes there every day with gray hair who leaves and then returns. This guy spends countless hours walking around doing nothing and makes a lot of small talk with theatre employees and other patrons.. Yes, his age is substantially older than 33. Sheesh!!

Sadly, the new owners still haven't figured out the only way to boost attendance is by lowering the admission. $10.00 would double or possibly triple the number of attendees. Terminating cruz would be a major improvement!!! My hunch is the $18.00 admission and cruz will be sustained i.e.fewer & fewer people. Glory holes in the rest rooms are a great idea however, they would again have problems with the county health department. They were recently chided for serving unwrapped pasteries, produce and other eateries. Does the poster that recommended the lifeguard dvd have any financial interests, involved in the production or appear in this upcoming attraction?? I was told they now have a photograph of tracy and his funeral itinerary posted on the door next to the staircase. An unsigned letter by management informs theatre patrons that Tracy passed. If they cared so much about his safety & well being: why didn't they provide him with health insurance. My blood boils every time I think of his unnecessary death which could have been prevented!!!!!

multiplecumloads: the very wealthy new proprietors " OWN" the entire building ( max, barry and omar). Yes, I definitely fault them for tracy's demise. They easily could have afforded to provide adequate health coverage for their employees. A routine physical would have included blood tests detecting tracy's diabetes. Insulin, change of diet and other treatments would have saved his life. I DO NOT have any financial affiliations with a competing business. As previously stated, these outspoken 'liberals' should put their money where there mouth is!!! I loathe & detest hypocrisy!! Are you friends with the aforementioned owners?? Please clarify what you mean by improvements in employees and clientele. I would love to hear your serious honest opinion regarding the way cruz conducts himself--favorable/unfavorable.

Looks like the owner, A wealthy attorney, of this STUDS need a serving of my ForskinSuprise for his supper. Acording to "deluxe99" who must have knodwledge of this mentioned individual, is sounds strongly that there are mental issues with Him. Guessing it is a Him & not a Her. I have read back through all Comments. I see from what is said there is a need for concern with the operation of this bussiness. Because this is an open to the public Bussiness, yes this is a bussiness, there are laws in efect to keep things from becoming out of control. I am not the only one that now knows about all of what is mentioned and see the problem is not only directed at one specfic thing in general. Several Major Problem exist from what is said. To whom it may concern, read back at all comments, every single one and see what you can do. It makes more sence to listen to the Majority. If what all said is true, there will be a consequence for "Him" to pay.

Really sad note. Tracy, who has worked there for the past couple of years, and was only 46, died a week or so ago. Seems his health, or lack of it, got the better of him. Tracy was one of the few people that worked there on a regular basis and was always nice to the customers. He will be missed.

I decided to go back to Studs last week after a 3 month hiatus and I have to say that it has changed dramatically. As if the price wasn't a deterrent for most people, the Studs crowd is virtually non existent now. There are far less people visiting (and I went on a weekend!) and the atmosphere just FEELS so different. I'm giving it another shot, though not anytime soon.

Yep this place costs too much, the Snack shop is stupid, the bathrooms are filthy and were both overflowing and closed when I was there last Saturday. Lots of agressive troll types that do not know what "No thanks" means. But there are still some younger good looking guys (Black, Hispanic and White) who cruise here mostly during the weekdays looking for action, still some fun can be had here during a weekday lunch hour.

As I have stated many times that large concentrations of blacks, asians,geriatrics and obese types plus the pricy admission and two nasty rude employees have definitely scared away the better looking proportionately built caucasians!! Facts & reality should never be interpreted as expressing hatred--it is merely stating the truth!!! Ask yourself if you would you ever expect to see a dvd that resembles the studs theatre clientele???

I agree. I am 40 and always find someone cool to hook up with. Why do people have to hate other people? This is why I hate going to clubs. Its always the same thing. A bunch of pathetic skinny. young queens waiting for the Calvin Klien uderwear model that never shows up. Thats a waste if you ask me!

The Mysteriously Disappearing White Guy! Lord, where have they all gone? I mean, seriously, there are no longer any white guys under 40 out cruising any of the places. They're an endangered species. I also think that the few of them that still exist are all online trying to hook up with others young, white guys. That leaves everyone else (over-40 white guys) and ethnics who can't hook up online are out cruising the few venues that are left. It's really too bad, because there's really nothing like the spontaneity of cruising live and in color and actually hooking up with someone hot without having to exchange endless emails, texts, driving, finding a place to go, whatever. Tragic!

Went there last Fri - day after Thanksgiving - thinking that guys would have the day off from work and that the crowd might be okay. Was there from 2 to about 4.......there were literally not more than 10 guys in the place.....how sad....this used to be such a great place to play and get off - even for non-Adonis types like me. I'll likely give it one more try on a Sat or Sun afternoon...... and if it doesn't improve, write it off for good. Too bad the owners let this last great theatre-play area disappear.

OMG!!! This place sucks like no other place I've been to in a long time. I HATE the set up and the people who goes there, well I thought maybe some of the other posters were just overly sensitive, nut NOT!!! This place is one step from closing down which is really sad cause it looks like it could have potential. Oh well... Its a shame but the owners don't have a clue on how to run the operation of his or her own business.. Boys, don't waste your time and hard earned money on this place.

I still remain puzzled that the erudite new owner very shortly plans to raise the admission to $20.00. Many times the place is near empty on week-days. It would make better sense to lower the admission to $10.00 to bring in more people. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions what it would take to lure in better looking more attractive guys. Truckchaser is correct that the clientele consists mainly of super homely unattractive men. Fri & sat nites it serves as a homeless shelter for many skid row homeless types, the theatre reaks from marijuana and crack. I can't believe that cruz is still employed there. You would have to be deaf in order not to hear this effeminant loud mouth, non stop talker. I have heard rumors that Booker, the elderly black is no longer employed there but I don't know if it is true. These two have done a lot of damage. Sans political correctness an intelligent rational conversation needs to be launched regarding what the real problems are and what has caused them.
