The Upper Level at The Diplomat Health Club

Grand Rapids, MI

Alternative Adult Stay

The Upper Level describes itself as “an alternative adult stay for all genders.” It is three reservable rooms above The Diplomat Health Club, a private gay sauna and bath house at 2324 Division Avenue South in Grand Rapids that says it has been gay-owned and operated within the same family since 1980 and is open 24 hours. The page pitches the rooms to swingers and couples. The rooms are the Master Suite, the Retro Room and the Loft Room, with a kitchen and dining room with a TV. The room rate includes the club's day pass and entry; the club lists a hot tub, a seasonal cedar dry sauna, a locker room, group showers, TV lounges, a theater, an outdoor patio, a gym, free wifi, snacks and complimentary coffee. Upper Level rooms are the only ones the club offers that can be reserved ahead, by email, and hold one or two people, with one guest allowed up from the club. Renters must be 21 or older with a credit card matching their state or federal ID, which the club says is checked only to verify age. Nudity is allowed in the room but not in shared areas. The club has zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs, bans photography and video on the property, and limits smoking to the patio.

The X Club

Mississauga, Ontario

On-Premise Club

The X Club describes itself as “a haven for curious individuals seeking an unforgettable experience.” It is a membership-based, on-premise lifestyle nightclub in Mississauga open Friday and Saturday nights and, per its website, founded 19 years ago. The main floor has resident DJs playing Top 40, house and techno, a bar and bottle service. Under the same roof, the Mermaid Lounge has “a luxurious spa-inspired environment” with a cocktail bar, a Himalayan dry sauna, a steam room, a group shower and a clothing-optional four-season pool. The play space has seven private rooms and a kink room, where clothing is optional, plus an open play area with beds, couches and an orgy room where guests dress down to underwear, lingerie, towels or nothing. Lockers, showers and towel service come with membership. Everyone needs a valid membership, which starts with an online profile the club approves; first-time visitors can enter without one until 10 PM on Newbie Night, the first Friday of each month. Saturdays are for couples and single women only, and single men are welcome on Fridays but kept out of the open play area except on Freaky Friday. Guests must be 21 or older, dress is smart-casual and sexy, consent is mandatory, and photography (outside the photo booth) and smoking are not allowed.

Play Party Community

Top Floor Club describes itself as “a private, high-integrity erotic community” and runs consent-forward play parties in New York City. Events take place in hotel penthouse suites, with a signature party across three suites as the main event, alongside members-only workshops and social outings. Guests enter through a hotel lobby with a password and are escorted to the elevator. The club lists connection lounges, phone-free dance floors and hosted play suites stocked with linens, gloves, condoms, dental dams and lube, plus a no-play Serenity Room for rest and guardians on duty all night. Play can happen almost anywhere in the suites, and another format centers bi and bi-curious guests. Entry is by application with a 30-minute vibe-check Zoom, and a complimentary 30-day trial follows acceptance; parties and workshops are members only, with tickets or reservations possibly separate depending on the event. The minimum age is 21, couples apply together, and solo and first-time guests are welcome if they show readiness. Verified STI results from the past three months are required, condoms are required for internal penetration unless partners are fluid bonded, phones stay out of view, and sexual participation is never required.

Torture Garden

London, London

Club Night / Event Brand

Torture Garden describes itself as “a community, a family” for anyone who wants to explore their fetish alter ego. It is a London fetish and body art club night rather than a venue: the club says it has no permanent space and moves between London venues such as Electrowerkz, Ministry of Sound and Scala, and holds parties only on listed dates. It began in October 1990, and its monthly London events draw between 1,000 and 2,500 people. Events are multi-roomed, and the club says it currently runs three to six rooms. Named spaces include a Club Arena for dance music, a Ballroom, a Dungeon playroom and a couples room; facilities vary by venue. Fully licensed bars and a coat and bag cloakroom are provided. Tickets are bought in advance through the club’s website and shown in the Dice app, and the club says 95% of parties sell out. The club welcomes all genders and sexualities, and the couples room admits only couples, with no groups. A head-to-toe fetish dress code applies to everyone and is checked at the door and again inside; guests out of dress code are asked to leave without a refund. Guests complete a consent form before attending, photography including selfies is banned, and touching anyone without permission means removal and a ban.

Townhouse

Birkenhead, Merseyside

Swinger / Lifestyle Club

Townhouse is a licensed lifestyle venue at 9 Union Street in Tranmere, Birkenhead, on the Wirral peninsula across the Mersey from Liverpool. Founded in 2005 and taken over by co-owners Vicky and Jim in 2012, it operates under a Sexual Entertainment Venue licence granted by Wirral Council and serves the swinging, BDSM/fetish, and LGBTQ+ communities. With over 25,000 registered members and a staff of more than 60, it is one of the largest lifestyle venues in the North West of England, drawing regulars from across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe. The venue spans four floors: a ground-floor bar and dance floor with a pole sets a sociable tone before guests venture upstairs to eight playrooms. These include a dungeon fitted with a St Andrews cross, suspension points, bondage beds, cages, and rope; a medical-fantasy Klinik with an inspection chair and leg stirrups; a wet room housing a hot tub, steam room, and waterfall showers; two private rooms; and a group play area. Free condoms — including latex-free options — are provided throughout; towels can be hired at the door for £1. The venue partners with Sahir House for on-site HIV and STI testing. No CCTV operates in playrooms or changing rooms, and mobile phones are banned throughout the building except at reception under manager supervision. Events run from a calendar of more than 35 named formats: daytime MILF Monday sessions, midweek evening parties on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and main nights on Fridays and Saturdays with doors at 8pm and close at 2am. Specialist programming includes all-female Ruby Slippers parties, BDSM and rope nights, FemDom afternoons, pet-play events, and a monthly Queer Space Social for LGBTQ+ guests. Annual membership is £10 per person; all events are advance-ticket only with no walk-in entry. Photo ID is checked at the door alongside a biometric fingerprint scan. Dress code requires smart casual before 10:30pm; club attire upstairs is mandatory after that.

Vancouver Velvet Club

Maple Ridge, British Columbia

On-Premise Club

Vancouver Velvet Club describes itself as an “Adult Social Club for Couples in a Luxury Home Venue”. Its site says it is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and it runs house parties in a seven-bedroom house on select Friday and Saturday nights. The club calls itself an open-door play house with the entire house open for play, and says it is not on any social media. The house has large play rooms with queen-size beds and massage tables, bathrooms with a hot tub and stand-up showers, and a dance floor that doubles as a play area. It also lists a sex swing, a spanking bench and a cloakroom with numbered cubicles, with an all-night buffet and massages for men and women. Recurring nights include Friday late-night Naughty Girl Fantasy parties and a Bi Celebration Night on the last Friday of each month. Couples and single women are accepted automatically, while single men must apply and the club says it rejects most requests. Guests secure a guest-list spot by eTransfer donation, and the club then confirms with the address. No alcohol is served, but guests may bring a tagged bottle; cannabis is allowed outside only. Guests arrive discreetly and change in the dressing room, phones, photos and video are banned outside it, and the club enforces an open-door policy and strict consent.

Vault 139

London, London

Gay Cruise Bar

Vault 139 describes itself as “a gay cruise bar, gay venue and gay club” based in W1 London. It is an underground venue on Whitfield Street, a minute's walk from Warren Street station, and it opens every day, with a clothed cruise session in the afternoon on most days and an evening session whose dress code changes through the week. A QX Magazine interview with the venue says it opened in 2008. The club lists one large dark room with a sling, beds and two barrels, a second smaller dark room, a variety of smaller rooms that each have a bed, and four gloryholes, and it describes a variety of play areas. There is also a changing room and cloakroom and a bar serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Guests must be 18 or over, and the club says everyone is welcome except the rude, the abusive and anyone who has used or wants to use illegal substances. Dress follows the session: cruise is fully clothed, underwear nights allow boxers, speedos, jockstraps and harnesses, naked nights are strictly naked apart from footwear, and all or nothing allows any of these, with footwear always required. Outside food and drink are not allowed, phones may only be used around the bar, photography and video are banned, and anyone found with or having taken drugs is ejected and barred.

Vault72

Plymouth, Devon

Off-Premise Club

Vault72 occupies 72 Mutley Plain in Plymouth's Mutley neighbourhood, operating as the city's self-described premier alternative and LGBTQ+-friendly bar. The licensed venue accommodates up to 49 guests and pairs a fully stocked bar with a kink dungeon, giving it a dual identity that sets it apart from both a straight-social bar and a dedicated play venue. The crowd is Plymouth's alternative community — swingers, kink enthusiasts, LGBTQ+ regulars, and curious newcomers — who treat the space as a regular social base rather than an occasional destination. The doors are open Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm, with Thursday through Saturday running until 3am. Events rotate across the week: the Friday Swingers Social is a recurring fixture, and the calendar extends to leather socials, fetish nights, bi and gay evenings, pub nights with drink specials, and LGBTQ+-centred party series such as Pridemonium. Private hire is available on any day subject to prior arrangement, with packages starting from £5 per person and options for catering, decorations, and a Bluetooth surround-sound system. Because Vault72 holds a full on-licence, alcohol is served at the bar — no BYOB arrangement applies. The kink dungeon is the play-space anchor, while the bar and social areas keep things relaxed in the early part of the evening, allowing new arrivals to meet the regulars before things move further into the night. The team frames the venue explicitly as a safe, comfortable environment built around community, and the private-hire programme keeps the space active with one-off themed events throughout the week.

on-premise swingers club

Sitting along the busy commercial strip of Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Pennsauken, New Jersey — just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia — Venus operates under the banner of SwingersUSA/CouplesClubUSA and has built a following as one of South Jersey's most established on-premise lifestyle clubs. The venue draws a crowd of both newcomers and regulars, billing itself as a no-pressure environment that is welcoming to couples and single ladies exploring the swinger lifestyle. The club runs parties every Friday and Saturday night from 9pm to 4am. Saturday evenings include a pre-party Tantra workshop from 8 to 9pm before the main event begins. The club provides an appetizer buffet as part of the evening, and operates on a BYOB basis with mixers supplied by the venue. A DJ provides entertainment throughout the night. Attendance is typically strong, with the club reporting averages of 105 to 130 couples per party. Venus describes itself as South Jersey's most popular on-premise lifestyle club. Its location on Admiral Wilson Boulevard places it convenient to major highway routes connecting the Philadelphia metro region and southern New Jersey.

Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland

swingers_club

Villa Weizigt is a licensed seksclub and sauna club in Dordrecht, Zuid-Holland, operating as a gentlemen's club built around the principles of luxury, discretion, and relaxation.

Run by a proprietor named Susen, the club markets itself under the tagline Erotik statt Disco and frames itself as a gathering place for like-minded singles and couples with a modern outlook — explicitly not a nightclub environment. Stassfurt sits roughly equidistant between Magdeburg and Halle, and the club draws visitors from as far as Berlin and Leipzig. The venue occupies a multi-floor building centred on a foam-bath indoor pool, a sauna, a ten-person bathtub (10-Mann-Badewanne), and a themed Dschungelzimmer (jungle room). Both pool and sauna are designated non-sexual zones, marked with prohibition signage; intimate activity is reserved for other parts of the building.

XCLUSIV Lifestyle (XL)

Houston, TX

On-premise Club

Tucked into north Houston near the 77088 zip code, XCLUSIV Lifestyle (XL) is the area's upscale, members-only lifestyle event centre for open-minded adults — swingers, couples, approved singles, kinksters, LGBTQ+ guests, and the polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous community — drawn from across Texas and Louisiana.
