About
Woodland is more than an event, it’s an invitation into a members only curated space where connection, freedom, and shared masculine energy come first. Held multiple times throughout the year, Woodland is a private, men-only, naked gathering that celebrates comfort in your own skin, good music, meaningful conversation, and uninhibited camaraderie.
Each event is meticulously crafted to feel safe, warm, and inviting; a night to trade pretense for presence. From the vibes and sensual energy to the amenities and likeminded guests, Woodland is about showing up as you are, letting go of social constraints, and discovering what unfolds when real men gather in a real space.
FAQ
What is the cost?
While building our community and making our local gay scene more fun is our reward, we require a minimum member contribution of $50 to secure your spot. Early bird discounts and other promotions may be offered at times. Woodland events are hosted at a spacious night club venue, featuring a staffed open bar, a staffed clothes check, event ushers, a snack bar, dance floor, fully equipped play areas and other amenities. Member contributions help us keep Woodland growing.
When is it?
Woodland meets five times per year. We host quarterly events, one per season: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. In addition, we host a special PRIDE event which takes place during the weekend of Pittsburgh Pride.
How's the crowd?
While we foster a diverse community in age and race; good physical appearance, male anatomy, fitness, and masculinity are celebrated and prioritized when vetting our guests. But most importantly, to ensure the right atmosphere, everyone invited is welcoming and friendly.

Who's attending?
In respect of everyone’s privacy, we will never disclose who comes to our events. If a person submits a member application and/or is following the Instagram page, it does not mean that person has been or will be invited.

No. Pictures and videos are not allowed. To ensure the integrity of the event and our guests’ privacy we require phones to be kept with your checked belongings, unless being used to scan QR codes or to exchange contact information with other guests outside of any common areas. Any photos or content from the events are handled by the event management in a designated area.
What's the dress code?
CLOTHES OFF! Full nudity is a defining aspect of the experience, no exceptions. We believe that when the clothes come off, the “walls” come down. Stepping outside of our comfort zone enables us to connect with others.
What if I'm nervous?
It is normal to feel anxious before any event. Remember, everyone is focused on themselves, and no one is judging you. We are all here to have fun! Visualize a positive outcome to shift your mindset towards excitement instead of worry.
What if I know someone?
Smile and laugh about it. You are both mature adults in the same place enjoying the same activities. There is no space for judgment and no need to make it awkward.
Can I bring a guest?
All guests must go through the same vetting process and be approved to be on site. If you wish to share the experience, your friend must submit a member application form for consideration prior to the event.
Is play required?
Playing with other guests is an option but is not required or expected. Any physical contact must come from mutual CONSENT. Anyone who does not follow the basic rules of CONSENT will be forced to leave and excluded from all future events.
No Clothes. No shame.
Just energy, realness, and hedonism.
This is Woodland.

Big City Fun with Down Home Vibes
I’m a Pittsburgh local but travel the country for work. I’ve gone to events like this in other big cities and loved them, but never thought I’d see one locally! The creators take everything that makes the big city events fun but merge it with everything I love about not living in NYC or LA. Of course, I’ve had plenty of fun with countless hot guys. But I also feel a sense of community and belonging. You can tell the creators are building something bigger than a profit margin. Additionally, as someone who works in politics, I appreciate the option for discretion and level of curation that goes into even the smallest details. I’ll be back, come join us!
Exceptionally wonderful party
I traveled from Minneapolis for this event. The space was amazing, the vibe was great, the guys were hot and it was a ton of fun. Can’t wait for the next one
Woodland: Big Energy, Intimate Vibe.
As someone who has attended Folsom in Berlin and IML in Chicago, I was blown away by how Woodland captured that same electric energy—just in a more intimate, intentional setting. The vibe was welcoming, exciting, and filled with an incredible variety of men. The playroom was a space of genuine exploration for me, and I experienced several personal firsts in an environment that felt both safe and freeing.
As a sober individual, I really appreciated the non-alcoholic options and the fact that the space didn’t have a messy or drug-heavy vibe. It was clear that thought and care were put into creating an atmosphere where everyone could show up fully and authentically.
The wristband system was another thoughtful touch—black for “anything goes,” white for “ask first,” which helped set clear expectations and made navigating consent simple and respectful.
A huge thank you to the hosts (who are both friendly and gorgeous) for making me feel so welcomed. Their warmth and professionalism helped me settle in and enjoy the night fully.
I’ll definitely be attending future events.
Great new space
