BYOB — Page 7

On-Premise Lifestyle Club

Adore Social Club permanently closed, with its address now occupied by KNetic Club South. The club operated at Unit 103, 4116 64 Avenue SE in Calgary's southeast industrial quarter — a screened, members-only lifestyle venue that opened on the thoroughly renovated bones of the former Moonlight Magic space under new ownership. Attracting a crowd that typically spanned their twenties through their fifties, it built a reputation as one of Calgary's more polished on-premise lifestyle destinations before ceasing operations circa 2022. The venue ran to approximately 3,100 square feet across two levels. The main floor set a nightclub tone with large booth seating, a starlit dance floor, a professional DJ booth, and a stripper pole, plus a service bar area stocked with mixers, ice, water, and glassware for the BYOB crowd. Complimentary appetizers — cheese boards, charcuterie, fondue, and themed snacks — were laid out at every event. Upstairs, a lounge with a pool table, darts, and corner booths led into the play area: four king beds (one fitted with wrist and ankle cuffs), a sex swing, semi-private alcoves, a St. Andrew's Cross, and a spanking bench. Towels and condoms were provided throughout; labelled bottle lockers were available at the entrance. Entry required an approved membership: applicants submitted a profile with at least three photographs and were screened on effort and presentation rather than demographics. Single males needed to name a vouching member couple and attend their first event alongside that couple before gaining independent access. Regular events ran every Friday and Saturday, with occasional Wednesday and Sunday specials. The dress code was Dress to Impress. The address is now operated by KNetic Club South (kneticcalgary.club) — verify with that club before visiting.

Club Choices

Closed

Houston, TX

On-Premise Club

Club Choices — branded interchangeably as Club Choices Houston and Choices Swingers Club — operated for years out of an unmarked warehouse on Star Lane, a quiet industrial side street tucked just north of the Galleria. The building itself is a roughly 9,000-square-foot, three-level Class C industrial shell with no street signage; the kind of place you could drive past a hundred times without noticing. Inside, the club ran a hard split between the floors: ground level was full nightclub — dance floor, stripper poles, stages, chains hanging from the ceiling, a live DJ rotating between Top 40 and classics, and a BYOB setup bar pouring free sodas, water and mixers. The upper floor flipped the script entirely — hot tub, showers, a swing, lockers, a massage table, a small video room, fetish toys, and a row of VIP suites for couples and groups. A small on-site adult boutique stocked by SoftTouchSecrets.com sold lingerie, condoms and the usual range of toys for anyone who wanted to take a piece of the night home. The club ran Thursday through Saturday, with the occasional Wednesday daytime RSVP play session and rare Sunday slots. Thursdays opened the door at 9pm and pushed to 2am; Fridays and Saturdays ran until 5am with last entry at 1:30. Door pricing was tiered the standard on-premise way — single men paid the most ($40 Thursday, $60 weekend), couples sat in the middle ($30/$40), single women paid the least and got in free before 11pm. Membership was a $10 one-time fee bought on arrival. Dress code was enforced firmly enough that it appeared on every page of the site: "Dress to Impress" — sexy for women, nice shirt, shoes and pants for men, never sportswear and never shorts. The crowd, by all accounts, skewed older and quieter than a typical Houston nightclub. One Yelp review captured the tone: "Not what you think — it's not a strip bar and there's not sex everywhere. It is very classy and refined. Women are very respected." The club closed at 5/5 stars across 12 Yelp reviews. By March 2026 the doors were shut. There was no announcement — no press release, no closure post on Instagram, no farewell event. The clubchoiceshouston.com domain went dark first (Hostinger suspended the hosting account, the standard sign of unpaid bills), Yelp updated the listing to CLOSED in March, and the building re-tenanted to Lane 58, a hookah bar that took its Yelp listing live in May 2026. The Star Lane address has a long history of running through nightlife tenants — StarLane Industry Afterhours, Club 5806 / Rendevu, VIA After Hours (closed November 2025), and Richmond Studios (a daytime photography/event tenant from 2018) all cycled through the same building. None of the two dormant Instagram accounts (@clubchoiceshouston, @clubchoicess) have posted since well before closure, and the @bacchusnightclub_ confusion that occasionally surfaces online is a different venue in Bishop's Stortford, England. The legacy Wix site at choiceslifestyle.wixsite.com/choices is the only piece of the operation still publicly readable — a frozen snapshot of pricing, hours and rules from when the lights were on.

On-Premise Club (closed)

Club Discretions ran for nearly a quarter of a century behind an unmarked door at 3304 North 27th Avenue, sandwiched between Thomas and Osborn in the industrial flats of west Phoenix. The club had no street signage — "look for the BLUE lights on the west side of 27th Ave," the website used to read, and that was the only landmark you got. Founded around 2000 by John "Dutch" Van Brunschot and formally incorporated in Arizona in 2003 as Discretions Adult Social Club, the venue was one of a small group of Phoenix lifestyle clubs that survived the city's landmark 1998 anti-swingers ordinance — the one that declared sex clubs "inimical to the health, safety, general welfare and morals of the inhabitants of the city of Phoenix" and was later copied as a template by Las Vegas and Indianapolis. Discretions fought it in federal court alongside Club Chameleon, Guys & Dolls and Encounters, kept its doors open by boarding up its open viewing windows and converting public play areas (including the famously-named "Mass Hysteria" theme room) into private ones, and weathered a 2002 Phoenix PD raid in which staff and managers were briefly arrested. After all of it, the club just kept opening. For the next twenty-plus years it was Phoenix's busiest swingers social club, open seven nights a week — Sun–Thu 8pm to 3am, Fri–Sat to 5am, "363 days a year" by the club's own count. The vibe was unpretentious and a touch retro. A mirrored main stage with a brass stripper pole sat in the centre of the floor, with a separate stripper cage holding two more poles off to the side. Adult films played in the background throughout the building. A non-alcoholic juice-and-soda bar served free snacks and cheap drinks (Arizona state law banned alcohol sales on lifestyle premises, so guests poured their own from a house-issued red cup). Pool table, video games, a resident DJ taking requests, free condoms in every room. Upstairs sat the club's real anchor — nine private, semi-private and voyeur bedrooms, two B&D love swings, a "hideaway loft bed with a view," and what Discretions self-billed as the "LARGEST orgy room" in Arizona. It was a fully on-premises, full-swap club, marketed to all ages from 18 to 80, with a published etiquette guide ("Look Presentable, Ask Questions, Introduce Yourself…") and no formal dress code. By 2023 membership ran $25 per person per year, with a flat door fee of $10 Sun–Thu and $35 Fri–Sat; single women came free once they paid the yearly dues. Discretions did not so much close as go on hiatus. Sometime in 2023 the homepage gained a quiet banner — "Here's to many years of fun and memories, thank you for your loyal patronage. While there are currently priorities to deal with, if it is feasible Club Discretions may return in a bigger, better and more grand fashion than ever." The "Club Discretions 2.0" return never came. The clubdiscretions.com domain expired around December 2024 and now points to a parking page; the Yelp listing was flagged CLOSED at its April 2026 update. The building at 3304 N 27th Ave was taken over in 2024 by Hush Lounge AZ, a newer-generation private members-only lifestyle club that continues the address's long history as a Phoenix lifestyle venue. Of the original 1990s clubs that fought the Phoenix ordinance alongside Discretions, only Club Encounters — one block south on West Clarendon Avenue, opened 1996 — remains in continuous operation.

Club FA (Freedom Acres)

Closed

San Bernardino, CA

On-Premise Club

Club FA, also known as Freedom Acres, was one of Southern California's largest on-premise swinger clubs — roughly 13,000 square feet on Devore Road in San Bernardino, at the north edge of the Inland Empire. The main floor paired a dance area and raised pole stage with a second, more intimate lounge floor, plus a pool table, scattered tables for eating and mingling, and TVs throughout playing adult films. A buffet was set out nightly, with coffee and donuts on Sunday mornings. About 6,000 square feet was given to play: a maze of cubbies, themed rooms, lofts and group areas ranging from semi-private to fully open. Club FA was a private membership association closed to the public — entry required an accepted membership plus the door fee each visit, and couples had to attend together. Members were 21-plus. Single men were admitted only on Wednesday and Sunday parties, never Friday or Saturday; single women could attend any night. Nights ran late and themed: Friday to 4am, Saturday to 6am, Sunday to 10pm with a DJ and dancing, typically drawing 120-160+ couples and 250-300+ for marquee events like New Year's, Halloween and the Freedom Acres Anniversary. Drinks were BYOB across two bars (beer/wine and mixed drinks). Dress leaned upscale-casual — collared shirts for men, with t-shirts, flip-flops, sweats and thug attire turned away.

Club Hedonism

Closed

Pompano Beach, FL

Club Hedonism was, for decades, the oldest and longest-running swingers club in South Florida — a private, members-only, BYOB on-premise lifestyle nightclub tucked into a low-slung commercial strip at 1000 E Sample Rd in Pompano Beach. It kept a deliberately discreet, no-smoking, members-only door and ran Wednesday through Saturday from the evening into the early-morning hours, drawing a couples-and-singles crowd to its bar, lounge, dancefloor, locker room, and on-premise playrooms. During the COVID pandemic the venue was rebranded and remodeled under new management, reopening as Defy Lifestyle Club ("Club Defy"). The club's own Facebook announced it had "taken this opportunity during the Covid Pandemic to Rebrand and make some upgrades to one of South Florida's most historic lifestyle clubs," and the original clubhedonism.com address now greets visitors with "The oldest Swingers Club in South Florida has a NEW LOOK!" before forwarding them to the Defy site. As Defy, the same address still operates as South Florida's premier lifestyle club: a bar/lounge/dancefloor up front, a locker room, and a large open group playroom with beds plus several private playrooms off the main floor — including a multi-person shower in the play area. It remains BYOB (bartenders mix your own alcohol with provided mixers; tip the bartender), open Wednesday–Saturday roughly 9pm–4am, with couples, single women, and (on select nights) single men admitted. The Club Hedonism name is effectively retired; anyone searching for it today is pointed to Defy Lifestyle Club at the identical Pompano Beach location.

Club Labyrinth LA (Hollywood)

Closed

Hollywood, CA

On-Premise Club

Club Labyrinth LA, the Hollywood outpost of the multi-city Labyrinth swinger club brand (alongside locations in Midtown Manhattan and New Jersey), is currently closed. As of the club's own website, the Labyrinth LA events page reads "LABYRINTH LA IS CURRENTLY CLOSED — NEW LOCATION COMING SOON," directing inquiries to info@clublabyrinthla.com and inviting visitors to join a mailing list for updates. No reopening date or new address has been announced. Before closing, the club operated as a members-only, on-premise swinger and fetish venue out of an undisclosed, secluded building in Hollywood. The former space was spread across multiple levels and included group playrooms, semi-private play areas, lounge areas, individual play stations, and a dedicated BDSM play space, alongside a cigarette-smoking area and a complimentary refreshment bar serving soda, juice, water, cups, and ice. The club supplied lockers, condoms, lubricant, and towels, and described its atmosphere as dark, sexually charged, and sensual, welcoming both exhibitionists and voyeurs in a setting it billed as safe, non-judgmental, and low-pressure — guests were never required to participate. Before closing, entry required a paid Labyrinth membership (12-month for $40, 6-month for $30, or 1-week for $20), purchased online in advance, plus a nightly admission fee that varied by night and guest type. Single men needed photo verification or sponsorship by a member couple and paid a premium to help balance gender ratios, while couples were required to arrive and leave together. The club did not sell alcohol — events were BYOB with a one-bottle (or six-pack) limit per membership and a $20 surcharge — and photo ID (driver's license, government ID, or passport) was mandatory at the door.

Desires Houston

Closed

Houston, TX

On-Premise Club

Desires Houston sat along State Highway 249 in north Houston, tucked into a commercial suite at 14207 SH-249 S, Unit 23. The club positioned itself as a private members-only lifestyle venue catering to open-minded adults, drawing couples and singles from across Texas, Louisiana, and beyond. Reviewers noted a thorough renovation under new management that redid every room, lifting the space into what regulars described as an upscale atmosphere without losing a social, welcoming feel. The club opened Fridays and Saturdays from 10 PM to 5 AM and Sundays from 9 PM to 3 AM, with the rest of the week dark. Entry required membership, purchasable online in advance; walk-in membership was not advertised. The crowd was consistently described as diverse, with the venue operating under an explicit No Means No consent policy emphasising comfort for newcomers and regulars alike. Amenities included a dance floor, private playrooms, live DJ, hookah service, and BYOB arrangements. The venue accepted credit cards and cryptocurrency and was listed as wheelchair accessible. A July 2025 Yelp reviewer reported the owner confirmed permanent closure; prospective visitors should verify current status before travelling.

Le Trapeze

Closed

New York, NY

For more than three decades, Le Trapeze was New York City's most enduring couples-only sex club, occupying a distinctive space at 17 East 27th Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenues in Midtown Manhattan. The club was lodged inside the Prince George Hotel — a 1903 NYC landmark — specifically within what had been the hotel's Madison Pub, a Shakespearean English-style bar. That heritage gave the interior an incongruous warmth: stained glass windows, exposed brick, wood-beam ceilings, and wagon-wheel chandeliers imported from Europe, all of it radiating country-pub atmosphere. A nondescript exterior door carried only the name — nothing more — and a buzz-controlled entry led members into pleasantly dim, rose-tinted rooms. The layout spread across two floors. The ground level held a dance floor ringed by couches, a free soft-drink bar (alcohol BYOB, no corkage), and a buffet included with entry. A corridor off the bar led to four private rooms with locks, plus an attendant locker room with showers and towels. Beyond the lockers, a small flight of stairs opened into a mat room — a raised mezzanine-like platform with a wrought-iron barrier and wall-to-wall mattresses. At the base of the spiral staircase was the large orgy room, its mirrored ceiling amplifying everything. The second floor held roughly five open semi-private rooms for couples plus two enclosed rooms fitted with sex benches for voyeurs and exhibitionists. A manager gave first-timers a personal walkthrough of the entire space. Admission was open to couples and single women; single men were not permitted. Membership could be purchased at the door. The one explicit rule staff and regulars alike enforced was first-names only and no means no; couples who arrived together were required to leave together. The crowd spanned a wide range of ages, and the atmosphere was reliably described as more raw than glamorous — a place that survived vice squads, the AIDS epidemic, and multiple recessions before New York's real estate market finally shut it down in mid-2016.

On-Premise Club

Permanently closed. Menages Club operated as a private, membership-based lifestyle venue in downtown Nashville from 2000 until 2020, when the building was sold and converted into Drexel House, a homeless shelter run by the nonprofit Room in the Inn. There is no successor lifestyle club at the former address, and no evidence the club relocated or reopened under a different name. While active, the club ran parties Wednesday through Saturday from 8pm and operated BYOB, with mixers, ice, and setups provided at the bar; smoking was not permitted indoors. This listing is kept for historical reference only — the former address is now a residential shelter serving a vulnerable population, so do not attempt to visit.

On-Premise Club

Sitting on Q Street in the heart of South Omaha, R-Place built its reputation as Nebraska's only dedicated on-premise lifestyle club - a privately owned, 4,000-square-foot, three-level building converted into what owners called an elegant upscale classy venue. The main floor centres on a full dance floor with professional DJ booth, state-of-the-art lighting and a sound system, ringed by lounge-style seating and five TVs (including a 60-inch screen). Three leather-furnished living-room social areas give couples and groups a place to mix before venturing further, and the club runs as a strict BYOB bottle club with mixers and soft drinks provided at no charge. The play spaces span two additional levels. Four private bedrooms and four bathrooms (three with showers) handle couples seeking privacy, while the basement Dungeon - billed as The Playroom - offers group beds, two electric-hoist sex swings, restraints, a glory hole wall, and a professional massage table, plus a Sybian machine. Outside, a large patio enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence leads to a covered 20-by-19-foot sky room with a twelve-foot propane fire pit, seating around thirty people through the colder Nebraska months. The door policy is guest-list only: prospective attendees email in advance to be added, and walk-ins are not accepted. Hours run Friday and Saturday, 8 pm to 2 am. Saturday nights are theme-party nights. Admission is $40 per couple per night, $25 for a single woman, and $45 for a single man. Towels, lockers, and condom supplies are on hand; smoking is allowed in a designated indoor area. Single males and single females are both welcome alongside couples.

Set in a standalone two-story building on Atlantic Avenue — away from the casino corridor but squarely in the thick of Atlantic City's off-Strip scene — RolePlay Lounge billed itself as New Jersey's number-one erotic couples playground and, for much of the 2010s, was one of only two venues in the city openly offering on-premise lifestyle experiences. The building spanned over 5,000 square feet across two distinct floors. Downstairs was the nightclub: dance music, rotating spotlights, pole dancing, and a full social scene oriented around drinking and mingling. The upper floor was the play space — a collection of modern playrooms and open stages, stocked with a constant supply of dry-cleaned linen and towels, where the tone shifted from nightclub to something considerably more uninhibited. The crowd, per the club's own manager, ran roughly 22 to 52 years old — a mix that read, on a Saturday night, like any upscale small club except for the video screens and the open-door rooms on the second floor. The venue positioned itself deliberately against the 'grimy swingers club' image, marketing an upscale experience and describing itself as zero-pressure. Couples dominated the guest list; single women were admitted free, and a limited number of single men were permitted on Fridays only. Membership was required for entry, and the fee was $100 per couple, covering that membership along with entry for the night. RolePlay operated Fridays (10 pm–3 am) and Saturdays (9 pm–4 am), with parking between Boston and Providence Avenues. It was BYOB — the bar brought no alcohol license — and guests were expected to bring their own bottle. The club accepted Discover, Mastercard, and Visa at the door.

Saints & Sinners AC

Closed

Atlantic City, NJ

Event Organizer

Saints & Sinners AC anchors the Diving Horse entertainment complex at 18 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd, a sprawling 55,000-square-foot multi-use building in Atlantic City. Guests enter discreetly from the back of the Diving Horse complex rather than the main boulevard-facing door — a deliberate design choice that sets the tone for the whole experience. Inside, four floors hold an impressive inventory of spaces: 15 open, air-conditioned play rooms, additional private and semi-private rooms, 11 showers, 2 BYOB bars stocked with mixers, 2 dance floors fitted with stripper poles, an outdoor heated pool, an outdoor deck, and a food buffet that runs through the night. Erotic movies play throughout the venue to set the mood. The club pitches itself as a new-age, modern lifestyle destination rather than a classic swinger haunt, and the crowd — primarily couples in their late twenties to late forties — dresses to match. Women tend toward fitted dresses; men wear button-up shirts and jeans. Saturday theme nights are a recurring feature, with prizes and costumed dress codes announced in advance. The adjacent Diving Horse Inn (30 rooms, many with jacuzzi tubs and balconies overlooking the deck and pool) lets members extend the evening without leaving the building, while the neighboring Diving Horse Cabaret and Luxx Lounge nightclub round out the complex. Doors open Fridays and Saturdays from 9 pm, with Fridays running to 3 am and Saturdays to 4-5 am. The club is closed Sunday through Thursday.

The Badd Kitty Club operated out of a large private venue at 3491 Route 20 in the town of Sheridan, Chautauqua County — about 45 miles southwest of Buffalo near the Fredonia/Dunkirk exit. Billing itself as western New York's premier women-run, on-premise lifestyle club, it catered exclusively to couples and single women; membership was free to apply for, with event access and website login granted only after vetting. The club described itself as a private, members-only setting for couples and singles to explore their passions without inhibition. At its peak the club hosted several events per month, drawing gatherings of around 50 people at a time. Owner Raquel Spears argued it was a legitimate private business and a responsible neighbour; reports noted guests paying approximately $150 per head, with the club estimating close to $300,000 in annual economic impact. The venue shared its building with a daytime pawn shop, operated evenings with no exterior signage, and admitted only pre-screened members — BYOB throughout, with no bar licence. The physical venue was destroyed in a fire on July 11, 2022. As of late 2024 the burned-out shell remained standing, with the Town of Sheridan filing a state Supreme Court lawsuit against the property owner seeking demolition and site remediation. The club website (baddkittyclub.com) remains reachable but returns sparse content; no verified evidence of a new operating location has been found.
