Bronze Party is a screened lifestyle organisation in San Francisco that produces on-premise parties for couples and single women. It holds no premises of its own — its nights are club parties and takeovers, run at Twist on Bay Street and at Danzhaus — and it has been going, by its own copyright line, since 2009.

The programme is a calendar of named annuals rather than a weekly night. The Little Black Dress party and the Mrs. Clause Christmas party are both in their twelfth year; there is a Halloween kickoff, a Halloween ball, a Thanksgiving-eve party and a New Year's Eve erotic ball. Doors are late and long: most run 10 PM to 4 AM.

Admission is screened. Membership is applied for and bought separately from tickets, guests agree to the house standards of conduct, and the door is couples and single females only — the brand points single men to its sibling Her Fantasy Party instead. Its rules are published in full and are unusually explicit about consent: ask before touching, no means no, no cameras or phones, and a no-tolerance policy on drugs.

The membership is one of the more multicultural in the US lifestyle scene by the organisation's own account, and it advertises staff who speak Spanish, German, French and Portuguese. Dates and tickets are published on the brand's own site; browse our San Francisco guide for the city's venues and other party brands.
