INTO THE WOODS WEEKEND!! (Apr 22-24, 2016)



Afraid of what you may find lurking in the woods? Well don’t be cuz there’s a big ole party in there!  Join BEAR ALBANY as we take to the woods, inside of ROCKS, 77 Central Avenue in Albany for a weekend of fun, fur and naughtiness.

FRIDAY NIGHT – ROCKS, 77 Central Av

As a reminder, we have moved all of our Friday Night events to BEAR ALBANY Headquarters at ROCKS, 77 Central Av.

Carmie Hope will be hosting Bearaoke as Goldilocks, along with one of her three bears “JstaBear” in the DJ booth. We’ll also be playing a couple of rounds of almost-naked Twister.  All participants  MUST strip down to their boxers, briefs or jocks to play! Meat and greet in the pub or sing your ass off in the club!

Drinks specials, bear snacks –and NO COVER charge for any of the Friday events.  See who's going...

SATURDAY DAY

Ever wanted to tie up a bear in the woods and have your way with him?  Ever wanted to be the one tied up? If you want to learn how, our local Rope Master Jay Rood will be on hand to give you all the tips and instructions you need to wrangle a hot bear!  Demonstration starts at 1pm in the pub at ROCKS, 77 Central Av. Ask questions, get tied up or just observe - This is a free event with Happy Hour drink prices at the bar.  Attend the rope class and get a 10% discount coupon for Dolan’s Sports bar to be used during the weekend.

There is always something to do in NY’s Capital region.  If it’s too cold to venture out, enjoy the heated pool and hot tub at the host hotel or choose from one of the other fabulous event options that we will post as the event draws near.

In addition, there is the New York State Museum, the Empire State Plaza, river front and loads more!
