Members-only BDSM/lifestyle community center

Inversion MKE is a membership-based kink and BDSM community center operating at 615 S 89th St on Milwaukee's west side. The venue occupies the same commercial space as the former Club EASSEL, which operated for years as Milwaukee's BDSM and lifestyle community center. Inversion MKE, LLC obtained a three-year Special Use Permit from the Milwaukee Board of Zoning Appeals on 10 October 2024 (Case BZZA-24-00260, vote 5–0), classifying the space for zoning purposes as an indoor recreation facility. Permit conditions include a blanket prohibition on alcohol on premises at any time, adequate event staffing requirements, and no outdoor advertising beyond permitted signage. The club's community life is organized primarily through FetLife under the handle @InversionMKE, with a parallel Instagram presence at @inversionmke, reflecting its roots in established kink-community networks rather than mainstream nightlife promotion. The venue operates on a structured membership model, offering individual and couple/pair tiers. First-time guests must complete a paid orientation before attending regular events — a practice that emphasizes consent culture, community vetting, and safety briefing over open walk-in access. Memberships are non-refundable and auto-renew on monthly or annual cycles. The space positions itself as a community hub for Milwaukee's kink scene, carrying forward the regional network that had gathered around Club EASSEL at the same address, though the two operations are legally and organizationally distinct. Events run on a recurring weekly schedule: Friday and Saturday evenings are the primary play-party nights, with a shorter Tuesday slot reserved for members and sponsored guests. No alcohol is permitted on the premises at any time — a hard condition of the BOZA permit — making this a dry venue. Signage is limited by the zoning conditions, keeping the venue's street-level footprint deliberately low-key. New members are encouraged to connect through the club's FetLife and Instagram pages for current event listings and orientation scheduling.

Jo & David's Swingers Parties

Chamcook, New Brunswick

House Party

Jo & David's Swingers Parties says “These parties are genuine house parties” and that it is not a swingers club. The hosts hold them in their own home in Chamcook for guests on a guestlist. Parties are usually on Saturdays, as Greedy Girls nights, Couples and Singles parties or Couples Only parties. The 3,600-square-foot house has three levels. The bottom floor has a self-service bar with seating for 20-plus, lockers and a playroom that serves as a darkroom at some events. The main floor has a kitchen and dining area that is a no-sex safe zone, a lounge that doubles as an exhibitionist playroom, and a playroom with two queen beds; upstairs are two more playrooms. Outside are a fire pit, a smoking area and a hot tub that closes in snow or ice, with off-road parking. Only guests with a verified profile on the website can book, and the hosts can refuse or remove guests. Couples and Singles parties admit a limited, equal number of single ladies and single men, Greedy Girls parties admit more single men, and Couples Only parties exclude singles. Guests must be 18, or 19 for the bar and alcohol; drinks and a buffet are provided. Dress is “clubwear or sexier” or nudity, cameras and camera phones are banned, and “No always means NO.”

Joyride

Unverified

London, London

Event Organizer

Joyride is a London-based queer, sex-positive event series operating at the intersection of rave culture, art, and sexual expression. Founded in early 2023 by Irish sex educator MJ Fox and experiential event producer Lydia Fikan, the party draws together DJs, performers, sexuality practitioners, and artists around a shared ethos of joy, playfulness, and consent. Pitched at adults aged 21 and over, Joyride sold out its earliest events through word of mouth alone before securing a bi-weekly Sunday residency at Corsica Studios in Elephant and Castle — one of London's most established underground club spaces. The format centred on two spaces at Corsica Studios: a main dancefloor delivering a genre-fluid programme spanning house, techno, and everything in between, with a focus on queer and femme artists; and two purpose-built playrooms fitted with bespoke kink furniture and sex machines, one of them designed by interior designer Domhnall Nolan. A welfare team, identifiable by yellow bandanas and flashing armbands, circulated throughout every event. Phones and cameras were barred from the dancefloor and playrooms, with stickers placed over camera lenses on entry. Tickets were sold exclusively through Dice and only available in advance, with community and unwaged tickets available on request. Joyride's Corsica Studios residency came to an end in February 2026 when the venue announced its permanent closure; the final party, on 15 February 2026, marked the event's third birthday. As of mid-2026, no successor venue has been confirmed. The dress code required fetish or kink attire — latex, leather, PVC, mesh, lingerie, harnesses — and streetwear was refused entry. The entry age was strictly 21 and over. Prospective attendees should check joyriderave.com and the Dice promoter page for current event information.

On-premise lifestyle club

Kat's Fantasies is a long-running adult lifestyle club operating out of an upscale venue in South Surrey, British Columbia, self-described as Vancouver's hardcore swingclub. The club has been active since approximately 2007 and operates by screened membership only — no walk-ins — with free membership granted after a short application process including a photo submission. The guest mix trends toward couples and single women in the 35–50 age range and screened single men aged 19–55, with attendance ranging from roughly 20 to 75 per event depending on the night. The venue features a dance floor, DJ booth, pool table, two private rooms, and a large open orgy room equipped with a sex swing and a signature wall of porn. Two no-play socializing lounges allow guests to meet and mix without pressure. Massage tables and oils are available, and overnight accommodation is offered on-site: private queen rooms at CAD $60 per couple and open beds at CAD $40 per couple. The club operates on a BYOB basis; complimentary coffee, tea, filtered water, and light snacks are provided along with condoms and lube. The events calendar runs across several formats: Greedy Girl (one to two Saturdays monthly, 8PM–1AM); Fuck Me Friday (one to two Fridays monthly, 8PM–midnight); Bi Night (monthly Friday or Saturday, 8PM–midnight or 1AM); Cougars & Cubs (monthly Friday, 8PM–midnight); Hump Day Happy Hour (Wednesday, 7–11PM, October–May); and Sunday Afternoon Delight (Sunday, 2–6PM, October–May). Donation pricing varies by event — for flagship nights, couples pay CAD $50 advance or $70 at door; single men pay $60 advance or $80 at door; single ladies pay $20. Midweek and Sunday events are lower. Guests must arrive within a set check-in window and may not re-enter after leaving.

KC Book Club

Liberty, MO

On-Premise Club

KC Book Club is a by-invitation-only lifestyle house party set on five acres of secluded land just north of Liberty, Missouri — a quiet, rural setting that ensures complete privacy for its guests. Owned and personally run by Eddie, the venue is a custom-built entertaining space that has earned a reputation as one of the Midwest most recognized lifestyle destinations, drawing regulars and curious newcomers alike from as far as Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The club has been featured on national lifestyle podcasts, and its welcoming, consent-forward atmosphere keeps the crowd firmly in living-room-party territory rather than nightclub territory. Saturday nights are the club's exclusive rhythm, and the format is BYOE — guests bring their own drinks and snacks, while the house provides soft drinks, hors d'oeuvres, ice, soda mixers, and bottled water. Inside, a large social area and a dance floor (complete with stripper pole) set the tone for mingling before the evening deepens. Private play rooms and dedicated kink and lifestyle spaces are available on site, and the venue also features a pool, hot tub, and showers. When the weather cooperates, the five acres open up for clothing-optional volleyball, swimming, and sunbathing. The club is kink-friendly, swinger-friendly, and welcoming to the genuinely curious — but it is strictly couples and single women only; single men are not admitted. Access is by invitation only, and the BYOE policy keeps the vibe communal and intimate. The location near Liberty Triangle puts guests within easy reach of hotels, restaurants, and retail for before or after the party.

Killing Kittens

London, London

Event Organizer

Killing Kittens describes itself as “the sexually liberated social network where Kittens come first”. It is an event organizer in London, and its Our Heritage page says it was founded in 2005. Its London parties include masked balls, a Kinky Cabaret and Hedonism nights, and ticket holders get a pre-party group in the WAX app. Its London parties page says events are held in “some of the most exclusive and luxurious venues in London, with stunning decor, state-of-the-art sound systems, and a carefully curated atmosphere”. Event listings mention an open bar, a steam room and a jacuzzi. Membership is for people who are female, transgender or non-binary and 21 or over, by application approved at the management committee's discretion, and only members can buy tickets. A member can bring a registered guest who stays with them, while its Singles Hedonism night lets guests arrive alone without an invite from a member. The full venue address is emailed ahead of the party. Guests may not bring alcohol or illegal substances, phones are used only in designated areas with the camera covered or in a privacy pouch, cameras and recording are banned, and a code of conduct with zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior applies.

KinkZone

Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

On-Premise Club

KinkZone describes itself as Canberra's only purpose-built alternative lifestyle studio, operating from a discreet unit in the light-industrial suburb of Fyshwick, roughly 2–3 km east-southeast of the city centre. The venue serves both the kink and swinging communities under one roof, running separate event formats to accommodate different experience levels and identities — from beginner-friendly introductory nights through to invitation-only BDSM parties. After a hiatus that ran from 2020 to 2024, the club returned under new management and has since built a calendar of more than a dozen recurring event formats. The custom-designed interior centres on a large open-plan area with substantial seating and space for dancing, along with intimate nooks and dedicated playrooms for private or group activity. All tickets include entry, use of the cloakroom, light refreshments, non-alcoholic beverages (soft drinks, tea, coffee), condoms, lubricant, and access to shower facilities. Alcohol is not provided or sold; BYO is permitted. The first floor is reached only by stairs — there is no lift — though a ground-floor accessible toilet is available, the main event spaces have 96 cm-wide doors at their narrowest, accessible showers are on-site, and no fluorescent lighting is used during events. Smoking and vaping are confined to a designated outdoor courtyard. All attendance requires completing a vetting process before a first event; new contacts are added to the system each Monday, with an initial reply typically within five days. From July 2026, standard event tickets are priced at A$69; KZ Swing is A$120 per couple, A$100 for single men, and A$60 for single women; specialty nights including Rainbow Haven, Rope, and FemDomme are A$60; and the Under 30s event is A$45. Booking fees apply on top of all ticket prices. Optional memberships — Silver at A$250 per year or Gold at A$525 per year — provide reserved spaces, free events, booking-fee waivers, and discounted tickets, though membership is not required to attend.

KitKat Club

Berlin, Berlin

On-Premise Club

Founded in March 1994 by Austrian filmmaker Simon Thaur and his partner Kirsten Krueger, KitKatClub is one of Berlin's most internationally recognised sex-positive nightclubs. Operating since 2007 from an industrial building in Berlin-Mitte at Koepenicker Strasse 76, the club takes its name from the fictional venue in the musical Cabaret, a deliberate reference to the erotic freedoms of Weimar-era Berlin the founders set out to revive. Its founding principle, do what you want but stay in communication, underpins a sex-positive, queer-inclusive culture that has attracted a cosmopolitan international crowd over three decades. The multi-level venue centres on three dancefloors -- the Main Floor, the Dragon Floor, and the lower Prisma Bar -- supported by seven bars, a candy counter, and a salon chill-out area. A dedicated BDSM space and private rooms occupy the lower floors; outside, a semi-covered terrace holds a swimming pool and sauna. Ultraviolet lighting throughout illuminates fluorescent murals by Berlin artist Vigor Calma. Free cloakroom and changing facilities allow guests to arrive in street clothes and transform on site. The weekly flagship is CarneBall Bizarre on Saturdays, with a Come Together pre-party from 20:00 opening the pool and sauna before main doors at 23:00, running into Sunday morning. Fridays rotate among Fourplay, GEGEN, Mystic Rose, and PIEPSHOW; Wednesdays host Symbiotikka; Mondays run Electric Monday with the most relaxed dress code of the week. Sunday mornings bring the Nachspiel afterparty from 08:00. Entry is EUR15-25 by event, cash only; an ATM stands immediately outside. Photo ID proving age 18 or over is required. A fetish-forward dress code -- latex, leather, PVC, lingerie, elaborate costume -- is enforced across all nights; jeans, plain t-shirts, and standard streetwear are refused.

KNetic Club

Calgary, Alberta

On-Premise Club

KNetic Club describes itself as “a fully licensed private social club” for on-premise consensual sexual play and socializing, and its About page calls it a members-only lifestyle club for adults 18 and over, including singles, couples and throuples. It holds scheduled events at two Calgary venues, KNetic South and KNetic North, including themed Friday and Saturday parties, a Unicorn Night for single women, an all-gender bi and pan night, a group-play event at North and a monthly Real Talk conversation series. The About page describes a 3,400 square foot venue with a main floor of booths, a dance floor, a stripper pole and DJs, and an upstairs with a pool table, dart board, St. Andrews Cross, spanking bench and a playroom with semi-private areas, a center bed and a leather sling. It lists four gender-neutral washrooms and a FLEX bar, and event pages mention a KNetic Kitchen serving hot food. Guests need a free profile approved before attending; Premium membership is a paid add-on that does not include admission. Government photo ID is required on a first visit. Drinks can be bought at the bar or brought in as BYOL, within limits the club may set. Dress is “Dress to impress,” clothing optional, and phones and cameras stay out of the club. Consent violations carry zero tolerance and illegal drugs mean removal.

KOW2

Hamburg, Hamburg

erotic bar / lifestyle bar

KOW2 — self-billed as "die älteste frivole Bar Hamburgs" (Hamburg's oldest frivolous bar) — occupies Luisenweg 119 in the Hamm district, a short distance east of Hamburg's city centre. Operated by Kay Lederer Unterhaltungsgastronomie, it runs as an erotic lifestyle bar for singles and couples of all genders and sexual orientations, with the stated aim of providing a welcoming atmosphere rather than the scale and anonymity of a large club. The house rules position consent as non-negotiable and make explicit that all guests are to be treated with equal respect regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The venue combines a bar and small dance floor with two dedicated playrooms equipped for BDSM and SM play — fittings include a glory hole and a gynaecological chair. Changing rooms and showers are located in the basement level. Hygiene supplies, towels, and complimentary snacks are provided free of charge, and free surface parking is available on-site. Payment is accepted by EC/debit card or cash. Regular opening nights run Thursday (20:00–03:00) and Friday and Saturday (20:00–04:00), with two monthly specials: the first Wednesday of each month (18:00–01:00, a mixed all-welcome event) and the last Sunday of each month (19:00–01:00, a dedicated BDSM Playnight). There is no admission charge, but minimum spend rules apply — €15 for women, €25 for couples, and a €30 mandatory first-drink purchase for solo men. The dress code specifies erotic or smart attire; printed T-shirts, shorts, sweatpants, and open-toed shoes on men are refused at the door. Photography and phone use are prohibited throughout the entire venue.

Le Boudoir Club

London, London

On-Premise Club

Le Boudoir describes itself as “a 21 years and up, ENM members only club”, an adult lifestyle social club in London for the lifestyle and LGBTQ+ communities. Its events run on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, including themed nights and a hosted newbie hour on the first Saturday of each month. The club uses a number of venues, the most used within a few minutes of Liverpool Street and Tower Bridge. Its event pages for the Le Boudoir venue describe three floors: a licensed cocktail bar, a vaulted fetish room with play cubicles, a swing, a spanking bench, a St Andrew’s Cross and restraints, three large private rooms, a loft play space and an open-plan group room. Lockers and a cloakroom are usually available, and private lockable playrooms suit guests who prefer not to be engaged by others. Everyone must be pre-registered and approved, which is free but not guaranteed, and nobody can join at the club. Tickets are bought through the site, and the address is included in the ticket confirmation email. Photo ID is checked at the front desk. Thursday and Friday nights include single men, with numbers capped on Fridays, while Saturdays are predominantly for couples and single women. Outside alcohol and drugs are not allowed, recording devices are banned, and the club may refuse entry to anyone who looks unkempt or ignores the dress code.

Leisure with Pleasure

Unverified

Leicester, Leicestershire

On-Premise Club

Leisure with Pleasure — also traded as Club 29, Club 29 Swing Club, and Bond Street Retreat — occupies a discreet address at 29 New Bond Street in Leicester city centre. It bills itself as Leicester's only alternative sauna for the lifestyle-curious and the more adventurous, and has operated under various names at the same location for many years. The NHS has formally recognised the address as a sexual health outreach venue, with Leicester Sexual Health services running a monthly drop-in clinic there offering free condoms, STI testing, and advice. The venue spreads across three floors. Upper floors contain spa facilities — a hot tub, sauna, and steam room — alongside a cinema room, a dark fetish room equipped with a swing and cross, showers, and private rooms. Reviewers also describe playrooms, a dungeon area, and a disco-and-party room. The club maintains a strict drug-free policy, and multiple guests note that staff are approachable and willing to walk newcomers through the space. Reviewers are divided on atmosphere: several praise the clean, friendly environment, while others have criticised cramped conditions and dated décor. Google-listed hours indicate daytime sessions on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, though schedules and current entry fees could not be independently verified — the club's official website is not currently accessible.

Single men pay €50–€55 midweek or €60–€65 at weekends; single women enter free on most sessions, or €5 on Friday–Saturday without advance registration. Multi-visit VIP cards are available at reduced per-entry rates, with the eleventh visit complimentary.

Lifestyle & Swingers Club Eroroma

Zwinderen, Drenthe

swingers_club

Eroroma is a lifestyle and swingers club set on a rural property in Zwinderen, a small village in the province of Drenthe roughly midway between Hoogeveen and Emmen. Founded in 2006 by Jan van Duyvenbode as an erotic massage salon, the venue expanded into couples events as regional demand grew, and in 2026 marks its twentieth year of operation. The club has built a loyal following across the northern Netherlands and describes itself as the number one lifestyle and swingers club of the north. Its clientele spans the 40–60 age bracket and ranges from seasoned regulars to first-timers, with floor staff on hand to orient newcomers to the space. The venue's centrepiece is a Roman bathhouse — widely noted as unique among northern Netherlands swinger clubs — built around a large indoor pool and an indoor jacuzzi accommodating around twenty people. The outdoor grounds add a second jacuzzi, loungers, and lounge seating, plus a heated terrace with fire pit and garden. Inside, the club spans two areas: a ground-floor bar with an extensive selection of drinks, a restaurant-style space serving a hot and cold buffet, and a dance floor where resident DJs play house and electronic sets on event nights. A dedicated play wing houses multiple massage rooms, private bed alcoves with curtains, an SM/BDSM room with suspension facilities, a darkroom, and lounge areas. Towels, condoms, and water are included; secure lockers are provided. Free on-site parking accommodates both cars and campervans. Eroroma operates on an event-based calendar rather than fixed nightly hours. Zwoele Woensdag (Sultry Wednesday) afternoon sessions run 14:00–22:00, open to couples, single women, and T-girls at €100 per couple and €30 for single women. Saturday evening events run 21:00–03:00 across a rotating roster of themed nights — Pleasure 4 All, Ero Kinky Party, XO BDSM Party, SeXfactor, and standard couple evenings — with couples entry ranging from €100 to €130 depending on format. All tickets are all-inclusive: drinks, the hot and cold buffet, towels, and condoms are covered in the entry price. A sexy outfit is mandatory and enforced at the door; on themed nights latex, leather, or PVC is required. Changing facilities are available on arrival. Single men are admitted only on designated nights by advance reservation; capacity is strictly limited. Most standard couple evenings and Secret Pleasure nights do not admit unaccompanied men.

Lux Velvet

Ottawa, Ontario

Party Collective

Lux Velvet says it “creates unforgettable adults-only events for open-minded people across Ottawa.” It is a female-owned and operated party collective for people who are non-monogamous or curious: public Mixers and Dance Parties are held every other month at a new Ottawa venue, alongside members-only play parties. All events are 19+. The themed Mixers are the entry point, billed as “no-pressure” meet and greets for sex-positive, like-minded people. The members-only parties take place in “chic hotels, stylish private clubs, and one-of-a-kind venues across the city,” and no play is required to attend. Coat check, alcohol and food are paid for by each guest, and each event listing states whether the venue is accessible. Mixers are open to singles and couples; play parties are for vetted members only, and a member cannot bring a non-member partner. Membership follows attending a Mixer and a free 30-minute video chat, and not everyone is approved. Single men are welcome unless an event says otherwise, but are vetted especially thoroughly and kept to a greatly reduced ratio. Consent is required for all contact, belligerent or disorderly behavior and illegal drugs are not allowed, ID may be requested, and a one-strike policy applies.

Maxwell Manor

Chorley, Lancashire

On-Premise Club

Maxwell Manor occupies the converted shell of the former Potters Arms pub on Brooke Street in Chorley, Lancashire, a community local that served the town for more than thirty-five years before closing in September 2024. Opened in 2025 by Liana Rainford and Patrick Wolff, the venue operates as a members-only adult social club with an explicitly inclusive ethos — describing itself as a safe space open to straight, gay, bi, trans, queer, pansexual, kinky, asexual, and curious members alike. The original pub frontage has been bricked up; guests arrive discreetly through a rear entrance. The interior has been refurbished with themed sets and bespoke furnishings, and the venue holds a full premises licence for alcohol and entertainment. A licensed bar operates at every event, and on-site lockers store members belongings — phones must be deposited for the entire visit. The space doubles as a professional photography and videography studio available for separate hire. On-site parking is limited; paid car parks are available nearby, and several hotels are within easy reach for travelling members. The programme runs to 2am and covers ticketed club nights, play parties, and workshops. Recurring formats include singles nights, couples-only gatherings, all-female club nights, kink and fetish play parties, FemDom evenings, and dominance workshops. Attendance requires annual membership: £20 for single women, £25 for single men, and £35 for couples, with an additional charge for specialist event nights. Event tickets are non-refundable, must match the members name exactly, and dress codes vary per event as detailed on individual tickets.

Mint Tease

London, London

Play Party

Mint Tease uses the tagline “3-Floor Private Play Paradise” for its sapphic play parties, held at a secret venue in East London near Aldgate East. The site describes a night “designed entirely for sapphic pleasure and connection,” and the guest list is limited to LGBTQ+ women, with no men admitted. Each event has its own color theme. The three-floor venue has a ground-floor cocktail bar and dance area where play pauses, open and more private play spaces upstairs, and a fully equipped dungeon, with hosts on hand all night, plus lockers and a cloakroom. Guests can socialize, observe or play, and the club says everything is optional and newcomers are welcome. Entry is by short application approval; approved guests receive a ticket link by email, and past attendees are verified automatically. Guests bring physical government photo ID, check phones into lockers at the entrance (they can use them at reception), and dress up, as casual wear such as light jeans or sportswear is refused. The address is revealed 48 hours before each event. House rules center on enthusiastic consent, not interrupting scenes, and wiping down any equipment used; hosts and security can remove a guest immediately.

Mission Control SF (Kinky Salon)

Oakland, CA

Members-Only Social Club

Mission Control describes itself as “a members-only, volunteer run society in the San Francisco Bay Area.” It is a 501c(7) social club, and says its community “is a non-profit which is run by volunteers and is member supported.” The club meets at events, socials and workshops as well as annual meetings, and says “Each event has its own flavor and its own community.” Events on its public event page include Velvet, for queer women, trans folks, genderqueers and intersex people; SOUL, exclusively for people of color; Gender Blender, aimed at a safer space for trans, genderqueer, gender-variant, queer, open minded and unidentified folks; and Love Triangle, for the non-monogamous community. The page also lists a volunteers-only appreciation gathering and ACTION Day, when the community makes upgrades to its space. Events are for members and their guests only and are not advertised outside the community; the full calendar is behind a member login. Memberships are for individuals, not couples, so each person applies solo. Newcomers become trial members and can attend events once approved, and after attending a couple of social gatherings they can upgrade to dues-paying membership, which brings free or deeply discounted entry.

Monde Osé

Unverified

Montreal, Quebec

Event Organizer

Monde Osé is a Montreal-based lifestyle brand and event organizer founded on August 5, 2005, by a Montrealer known publicly as Frank, whose search with his wife for upscale, open-minded sensual entertainment in the city found nothing that met their expectations. The name derives from the French "osé," meaning "daring" — a word the brand treats as both identity and mandate, pledging to challenge social norms around sexuality and self-expression. The first gathering drew 110 invited guests to Joy Nightspot, a small Montreal nightclub, structured as a private couples-and-ladies-only party. Monthly events followed, growing by word of mouth into an erotic performance-arts brand whose stated philosophy rests on three words: Respect, Acceptance, and Love. Monde Osé's principal events have been two annual balls. The Bal Érotique, launched in 2006 as a first-anniversary celebration, ran for thirteen editions through 2018: the inaugural edition drew 450 guests and numbers climbed to more than 1,500 by the peak years. The final edition — Moonlight Masquerade — was held on August 25, 2018, at Bain Mathieu, 2915 Ontario Street East, and was deliberately retired by founder Frank, who announced in August 2018 that he was moving on to other pursuits. The continuing flagship is the Bal Burlesque, a spring event led by performer and artistic director Lexxi Brown (also known as Foxy Lexxi); its most recent confirmed edition took place on March 4, 2023, at Cabaret Lion d'Or, 1676 rue Ontario est, in Montreal's Le Village neighbourhood. Events run from 9 pm to 3 am and combine live burlesque headliners, pole dancers, contortionists, and aerial artists with a soundtrack of deep house, techno, soul, and funk curated by guest DJs. Each event is built around a distinct theme deployed through décor, lighting, performance, and dress code. Access to Monde Osé events is membership-first: prospective attendees are encouraged to apply for pre-approval through the website's membership section, where applications are reviewed against unstated criteria. Non-members who arrive without prior approval are screened on-site, with entry based on what the brand describes as "attractiveness, style and sophistication," and a slight ticket premium at the door. For the 2023 Bal Burlesque, pre-sale tickets started at $55 CAD (until December 22, 2022), rising through early-bird ($65), regular ($80), and day-of ($95) tiers; VIP packages at $400 included a reserved table for the evening, bottle service, and line skip — all VIP guests were still required to hold a separate event ticket. Dress code is strictly enforced: no athletic wear, running shoes, or baseball caps; the expected standard is sexy or daring, with themed costuming actively encouraged. Guests must be at least 18 years old.

Night Spa Halifax

Halifax, Nova Scotia

On-Premise Club

Night Spa Halifax describes itself as “Halifax's only mixed gender, private members, clothing optional venue” and says it is queer owned and operated. The club says the location opened as a traditional bathhouse in 2003 and was men-only until 2022, when it re-opened as Night Spa, and it still holds nights for its masculine members. It opens for members on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The club lists a hot tub (four-person limit, no play), a dry sauna, showers, social areas, play areas and 15 private rooms, plus a glory-hole setup it calls the Portal.

Most events are members only, open to approved members and guests of existing members. Applying is free, and the club says its vetted application is “not just a formality”; it typically takes five to seven days, with no same-day applications. The club says it is not advised for people new to the lifestyle. Dress is clothing optional, and it has zero tolerance for consent violations.

Private Members Club

NSFW (New Society for Wellness) describes itself as “a private members-club for the adventurous.” The New York group calls itself a sex-positive community and a “Bi+ community space” that is open to all interests, with a mission built around “mindful exploration and shared education.” It has held its events at several New York venues. Its calendar mixes PlayDate parties, a monthly SendNoobs night for new members, workshops and mixer events, and the club says guests can enjoy a DJ. PlayDates come as All Play nights for singles, couples and groups and as Couples Only nights. The club says its parties are “a sexy party,” that participation is always optional, and that many guests just come to meet and mingle; hired guardians it calls “nymphs” watch over guests. Attendance is for vetted members: the club says it accepts about 30% of membership applications, and an approved profile is needed to buy passes. Members can buy guest passes. Its event pages say BYOB is allowed with a bar serving mixers, and that dress is black. The Code of Conduct requires enthusiastic consent with new partners, bans sharing images without consent and bars getting overly intoxicated at live events, and breaches can lead to removal or suspension.

Two bars serve the patio and the play areas, which span four floors; the dungeon has a swing and a St. Andrew’s Cross, and a private room on the fourth floor can be reserved onsite for an hour at no extra charge. There is a co-ed locker room, a front-yard smoking area, and recurring nights such as Sapphic Aquatica, a monthly Monday event for women and trans guests. Everyone 19 and over is welcome Sunday through Thursday, except on Sapphic Aquatica Mondays, while Fridays and Saturdays are reserved for women and couples. First-timers register with an email address, show valid government photo ID, hear the rules from staff and can take a tour. Outside drinks are not allowed and glass is kept away from the pool and hot tub, clothing is optional at each guest's own comfort level, photography is prohibited, and the club says a “no” is a final answer.
