Licensed Bar — Page 6

On-Premise Club

Secrets for Sharing describes itself as a “couples only party venue”, with parties held in the hosts' large country home, a location the club calls “discreet, secluded” and halfway between Exeter and Plymouth. No membership is required. Parties are held on Saturdays, start in the evening and run right through the night. The house has a wet area with a ten-seat sauna, a six-seat hot tub, a massage area, showers, towels and lockers, plus a decking area with a heated, covered smoking area. Social space includes three chill-out lounges (one showing adult films), a dance room with a pole and a licensed bar. Downstairs are an open playroom and a grope room with a cage; upstairs are three themed open playrooms, an XXX cinema room and orgy rooms, and a separate area holds three private playrooms with lockable doors. Couples attend, single women can come at a lower ticket price, and the club does not offer open invitations to single men. Guests reserve by phone or email, pay on the night and get the address when booking. A finger buffet is included and a free sleep-over is offered. Dress is sexy for women and smart casual for men, with scruffy dress refused entry. House rules: no drugs, no phones or cameras, smoking outside only, and always ask first.

Secrets Hideaway Resort & Spa

Kissimmee, FL

Lifestyle Resort

Secrets Hideaway Resort & Spa uses the tagline “Florida's Adults Only Destination”. It is a private members club and lifestyle resort in Kissimmee with its own on-site hotel. The playrooms open every day, and the nightclub opens Tuesday and Thursday through Saturday. The courtyard holds two twelve-person hot tubs, a conversation pool, a large commercial-size pool and an outdoor bar, and the club lists four full bars, poolside DJs, restaurant service and a kitchen serving food. Evenings offer a 3,000-square-foot nightclub, themed parties every weekend, 4,000 square feet of playrooms where an attendant supplies condoms, towels and sheets, and the Club Swinkster dungeon. Entry requires membership, with applications processed on premises only, and after approval a host gives a tour and explains the rules. Couples, single women and single men are admitted, but single men are limited to 10 per event from Wednesday to Monday and, except on Tuesday, must be invited into the playroom by a couple. Outside alcohol is not allowed in the club, play areas, courtyard or pool, and cameras, camera phones and recorders are barred from play areas. The courtyard is clothing optional and the playrooms are nude, with a towel or bathrobe allowed.

Shameless Grounds - ENM Night

St. Louis, MO

Sex-Positive Cafe

Shameless Grounds describes itself as “the Coffeeshop and Cafe with the Sex Positive Theme” and says it is not a club, a pick-up spot or a porn shop. The cafe sits in south St. Louis City, at the corner of Lemp and Withnell, and says it has been going since 2011. Its ENM Night, formerly called lifestyle couples night, is a ticketed evening held on almost every fourth Friday. The night is billed as a social meet-and-greet with music, a bar with drink specials, food, and ice-breaker games to help guests mingle. Most months guests spend the evening on the patio. It is a mixer rather than a swinger-style sex party: there is no full-frontal nudity and no sex, because the cafe holds a liquor license in the City of St. Louis. The night is open to anyone practicing or curious about ethical non-monogamy, including swingers, polyamorous people and those in open marriages, whatever their relationship style or status. Entry takes a ticket from the cafe’s online ticket site. The dress code is upscale casual and/or sexy. The house rules say no means no, and guests who cannot accept a no are shown the door; guests who get sloppy drunk are called a cab and shown out.

Shed 16

Seaford, Victoria

On-Premise Club

Shed 16 is an adults-only lifestyle and swinger venue occupying a purpose-built space at 2/16 Cumberland Drive in Seaford, a bayside suburb on Melbourne's south-eastern fringe roughly 40 kilometres from the CBD. The club operates as a sex-on-premises venue with an explicit commitment to LGBTIQA+ inclusion, framing its mission around a safe, sex-positive environment that welcomes people of all genders, backgrounds, and levels of experience. The ethos is deliberately no-pressure: attendance carries no expectation of participation, and first-timers are actively accommodated through a gradual introduction to the space. The venue spans two floors. The ground floor anchors each session with a fully licensed bar and café, two spas, a dry sauna, a steam room, large open shower facilities, secure lockers, and free internet stations. The upper level is dedicated to play, hosting private lockable rooms, open group areas, a bondage and kink dungeon, sling rooms, a suckatorium, voyeur rooms, and a porn lounge. An outdoor courtyard serves as the smoking and vaping area. Dress expectations shift between floors: the ground level permits casual attire for the first two hours, while upstairs requires towel, underwear, lingerie, or nude. Condoms are provided throughout. Four weekly sessions run Tuesday through Saturday. TABOO (Tuesday, 7 pm–1 am) prices couples at AUD $35, single ladies at $15, and pre-booked single men at $60. DESIRES (Thursday, noon–6:30 pm) carries the same couple and ladies rates, with single men at $60 (or $50 before 1 pm). SHARED SECRETS (Friday, 8 pm–2 am) admits couples at $70 and single ladies at $25; single men are not admitted. CLUB EROTIQUE (Saturday, 8 pm–2 am) prices couples at $60, single ladies at $20, and pre-booked single men at $150. Entry is cash only at the door, with an on-site ATM; EFTPOS is accepted at the bar. A $10 surcharge applies on public holidays.

Shhh Newcastle Swingers Club

Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear

On-Premise Club

Shhh Newcastle Swingers Club occupies a multi-storey premises at 85-89 Blandford Street in Newcastle city centre, roughly five minutes' walk from both Newcastle Central rail station and the Tyne and Wear Metro. Operating since 2018 and formerly trading as Shhh... by Base, the club underwent a full refurbishment in 2021 — installing a new jacuzzi, updating the playrooms, and adding a discreet rear entrance — and bills itself as the only venue of its kind in Newcastle upon Tyne. With a stated capacity of 200, the club places a strong emphasis on inclusivity: the space is LGBTQ+-welcoming and explicitly trans-friendly, with reduced or complimentary entry for trans guests on most nights. The venue spans two floors. Downstairs sits a fully licensed bar, a lounge, a dance floor, and spacious changing rooms with secure lockers; upstairs are the playrooms — including a cinema room, private zones, and a dungeon — alongside a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, an internet room, and an outdoor seating area. First-time visitors receive a guided tour before being issued a membership card and locker key. Reviews describe a clean, no-pressure atmosphere with staff consistently praised for attentiveness to safety and comfort. Complimentary condoms (standard, king-size, and latex-free), lubricant, and dental dams are provided at reception and throughout the bar; the first towel is free and additional towels are £1 each. Overnight stays are available on party and fetish nights, with private or shared rooms at £15 per person and morning refreshments served between 9am and 11am. The club runs Wednesday through Sunday. Wednesday afternoons host a mixed swingers session (couples £20, singles £10); Thursday is a Flip Flop bisex night (couples £10, singles £5, trans guests free); Friday's #FetishFriday admits couples at £10, single women at £5, and single men at £20; Saturday's Swingers Circus is the main weekly event (couples and single men £25, women £10); and Sunday is a men-only play day. On Friday fetish and Saturday nights, guests may supplement the licensed bar with their own alcohol for a £2.50 corkage fee. Membership requires completing an application form and presenting valid photo ID: a driving licence showing the current address is preferred and sufficient alone, while a passport must be accompanied by a utility bill, council tax bill, or bank statement. Before 11pm the dress code is smart and glamorous; after 11pm, access to upstairs play areas requires appropriate attire — lingerie, a wrap, robe, or towel — and trainers, sportswear, and hoodies are prohibited throughout.

Splash Takeovers

Fort Lauderdale, FL

Hotel Takeover

Splash Takeovers describes itself as “a lifestyle convention and complete hotel takeover.” Each event buys out a convention hotel in full, with only registered guests allowed on the property, for a Thursday-to-Sunday weekend aimed at couples in the swing, ENM and kink lifestyle. Its Fort Lauderdale event is CouplesXcape. Days center on a clothing-optional pool party with bars in the event areas, and nights bring themed dance parties with DJs. The club lists ballrooms, a dungeon, themed fantasy rooms, seminars, workshops and a vendor expo, and the host hotel has a restaurant on site and designated outdoor smoking areas. The event is couples only, 21 and older with ID at check-in; a single person can attend only as an add-on to a couple's package, at that couple's request. Packages bundle a hotel room with admission and are paid in advance, with no tickets at the door. The hotel is named by email after purchase. Outside drinks are not allowed in public areas while the bars are open, clothing is optional only at the pool and convention center, and illegal drugs, balcony nudity and sex acts beyond light touching outside guest rooms and fantasy rooms are not tolerated.

Swingerclub AlbSwing

Sigmaringen, Baden-Württemberg

AlbSwing occupies a rural property on the Nollhof estate north of Sigmaringen, set in the rolling farmland of Baden-Württemberg’s Swabian Alb. The club brands itself as “Der Swingerclub der Schwäbischen Alb” — the lifestyle venue of the Alb region — and draws a clientele that reportedly travels from as far afield as Stuttgart and Lake Constance for its Saturday nights. It opened in its current form following a rebrand and partial renovation of the former Swingerclub Waldhaus, with married couple Emel and Torsten taking over operations on a five-year lease; both had previously worked as bartenders at the same venue before stepping up to run it themselves. The interior has been modernised and partly redesigned since the Waldhaus era, now comprising seven themed rooms arranged across the property. These include an Aladdin room, a mirrored room, a snuggle room, a lockable private room for couples who want complete seclusion, a lounge themed around a flying carpet, a BDSM/SM room equipped with a gynaecological chair, and a darkroom. A couples-only section accessible via a separate entrance adds an extra layer of privacy for pairs who prefer it. The social hub of the venue is a bar area fitted with sofas and high-top seating, where a buffet is laid out as part of the all-inclusive entry. Outside, an open play balcony extends the usable space in fine weather, while a heated smoking shelter handles the dedicated outdoor smoking area. The large car park accommodates motorhomes and caravans, and a number of guests reportedly make a night of it by overnighting on site. New visitors are offered an orientation walkthrough, and the atmosphere is shaped by the house principle of “alles erlaubt, nichts Pflicht” — everything permitted, nothing required. The regular programme runs every Saturday from 19:00 to 02:00; additional Friday and Sunday events are announced on short notice through JoyClub and the club’s WhatsApp channel. Advance registration by WhatsApp (+49 15259434935) or email (albswing@gmail.com) is recommended and earns a discounted rate: pre-registered couples pay €70, pre-registered solo women €15, and pre-registered solo men €100, against walk-in rates of €80, €20, and €110 respectively. All prices are all-inclusive — entry covers the buffet, drinks, and condoms. The dress code is erotic: women are expected to arrive in lingerie or a sexy dress; men in boxer or retro-style shorts paired with a shirt. Street shoes must be removed before entering the play areas, and mobile phones are not permitted anywhere in the venue — guests may leave their devices at the bar for emergency access. Cameras are banned entirely, drugs are prohibited, and entry is refused to anyone intoxicated or visibly unkempt. The minimum age is 18.

Swingerclub Bluecat

Unverified

Schwetzingen, Baden-Württemberg

On-Premise Club

Tucked at the edge of Schwetzingen Am Langen Sand light-industrial strip — a short drive from the A6 motorway Schwetzingen-Nord exit — Blue Cat draws a mixed, open-minded crowd from across the Rhine-Neckar corridor: Mannheim, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe and the Palatinate. Run by Andrea Dunkel as a deliberately family-scale operation, the club pitches itself explicitly against the anonymous superclubs of the region: 500 square metres, nine individually styled rooms and a house capacity of around a hundred guests. New visitors are invited to arrive early and tour the rooms and party space at their own pace before the evening gets going, giving first-timers an unhurried feel for the layout before they commit to staying. The club opens Tuesday through Saturday from 8 pm, with nights running until 1 am on weekday evenings, 2 am on Fridays and 3 am on Saturdays. Admission is all-inclusive — every price covers the buffet and drinks for the night, with no bar tab to run up afterwards. Women pay €10 on any night; couples follow a sliding scale of €30 on weeknight openings, €45 on Fridays and €50 on Saturdays; solo men pay €100 across the board. Registered JOYclub premium members receive an average €10 discount off the door price. The nine rooms range across a love swing, a cinema lounge, a massage area, a gynecological chair, a kuschelecke (cuddle corner) and a dedicated SM play area, supported by a sauna, a wet area and a terrace for outdoor moments. The central zone holds a bar and a rotating buffet. Parking is available directly around the building.

Swingerclub Feuer & Eis

Bruchsal, Baden-Württemberg

On-Premise Club

Feuer & Eis — Fire and Ice — occupies a discreet industrial-zone address on Industriestraße in Bruchsal, roughly midway between Karlsruhe and Heidelberg, and draws couples and singles from across Baden-Württemberg and beyond. The club operators describe it as "Spielwiesen" — playgrounds — for the wider Bruchsal and Karlsruhe region. Run by Sven Schirner, the venue spans 800 square metres across two fully air-conditioned floors and holds up to 250 guests. On JoyClub it carries a 4.8 out of 5 star rating from more than 3,100 reviews and counts over 10,000 followers — unusually strong social proof for a regional club. The ground floor centres on the signature Frivole Bar — a naughty bar lounge with a cage fixture at the counter — flanked by a dance floor and a large multi-person whirlpool. Up on the first floor, the play area fans out into a darkroom, a dedicated BDSM zone, a cinema room, lockable private rooms for couples, a couples-only area, and a glory-hole corner. Rounding out the offering is a sauna, an outdoor terrace with a pool, and full kitchen service: hot and cold meals are prepared fresh daily and included in the admission price, as are towels and condoms. DJ Rex handles in-house music on party nights, and shuttle service from the club and a partner hotel arrangement cater to guests travelling from further afield. The club weekly programme is dense and deliberately varied. Core party nights run Friday (20:00–02:00) and Saturday (20:00–04:00), but the club is open most evenings from Monday through Sunday. Entry prices scale by night and demographic: women pay €5–20, couples €18–75, and single men €28–115. Men typically require advance registration, while couples and women are admitted freely. Regular themed slots include Tropical Beach Parties, Wellness Sundays with massage, trans-friendly Sommernachtstraum evenings, Young People nights, Couples and Ladies glow-bracelet nights, and fortnightly Herrenüberschuss evenings that open extra capacity for solo male guests.

Swingerclub Passion

Stuhr, Lower Saxony

On-Premise Club

Club Passion sits in the Seckenhausen industrial estate on the southern fringe of Bremen, a short drive from the A1 autobahn at Industriestrasse 37. The club is owned and personally run by Jessica and Patrick Bosse, a couple with their own long-standing roots in the swinging community, and it shows in how the place operates: long-serving staff who are friends first and staff second set a tone the venue itself describes as a very special family-like atmosphere, one where even first-timers quickly find their footing rather than feeling lost in an anonymous crowd. More than 1.5 million visits, a JOYclub Recommendation badge, and a 4.8-star average across 3,288 reviews place it firmly among the most trusted venues in the Bremen catchment. The indoor footprint runs to roughly 270 square metres, maintained at a steady 22 degrees C year-round. The ground floor holds a well-stocked bar (Bacardi, Jim Beam, Malibu, Likor 43 among the brands), a comprehensive warm-and-cold buffet, and a dance floor with a pole and stage area. Playrooms cover the full range: a Caribbean-themed Blue Lagoon private room, a castle-themed Burgzimmer, a coded couples-only section, a sleeping area upstairs, and a dedicated BDSM corner fitted with a swing, spanking bench, and St. Andrew's cross. The wellness zone adds an eight-person whirlpool (water changed daily), a sauna, and shower stations stocked with toiletries throughout the venue. Come summer, a heated outdoor terrace opens with a pool, beach baskets, and a separate cocktail bar, an addition that sets the club apart from most urban indoor venues. Club Passion runs Fridays (19:00-02:00) and Saturdays (19:00-03:00) as its regular nights, with Tuesday afternoon sessions (15:00-23:00) and Sunday parties (14:00-21:00) rotating on alternating weeks. Door prices are all-inclusive - the fee covers the full buffet, alcoholic and soft drinks, condoms, and hygiene supplies, with nothing extra to spend inside. Friday admission runs EUR 20 for single women, EUR 60 for couples, and EUR 80 for single men; Saturday steps up to EUR 30, EUR 85, and EUR 90 respectively, with JOYclub members receiving a discount at every tier. Trans and cross-dressing guests are admitted at 50% of the solo male rate. Dress code is firmly enforced: sexy lingerie and heels for women, latex, leather, or dark underwear with quality sandals for men. First-time visitors can call ahead to arrange a complimentary 30-minute walk-through before doors open - no commitment required.

Swingerclub Savannah

Zwochau, Saxony

On-Premise Club

Swingerclub Savannah occupies a purpose-built venue in Zwochau, a small Saxon village roughly 20 kilometres north of Leipzig near Wiedemar, and operates under Savannah GmbH. The club has established a strong reputation across the eastern German lifestyle scene — regulars on review platforms describe it as 'der beste im Osten Deutschlands' — and draws up to 200 guests per night, with an average age squarely in the mid-to-late thirties. Free parking sits directly in front of the building, an on-site club hotel accommodates overnight stays, and the rural location lends the place the feel of a considered retreat rather than a city-centre nightclub. The 850 m² building is organised around a central bar and dance floor, flanked by self-service drink stations stocked with water, prosecco, and beer; cocktails and a broad selection of spirits are served from the bar, and the all-inclusive entry price covers everything except premium champagne and certain luxury labels. A buffet — spanning hot dishes, vegan options, and sweets — is continuously restocked until around 2 a.m. The wellness area adds a sauna, an indoor whirlpool, and an outdoor jacuzzi on a heated terrace, while a separate outdoor smoking area keeps the interior smoke-free throughout. Play spaces run to roughly twenty rooms in different configurations: lockable private rooms, a mirror room, a darkroom, a cinema room, a voyeur room, a massage area, an SM/BDSM zone fitted with a cage and a gynaecological chair, and open areas spread across large mattresses. Towels, lotions, and condoms are provided throughout. One golocal reviewer described the ambiance as 'betörendes Licht, leise Musik und angenehme Düfte' (enchanting light, soft music, pleasant scents), and staff run a rigorous cleaning rotation between uses. Regular party nights run Friday and Saturday, doors opening at 20:00 and running to 03:00. Entry is all-inclusive and priced accordingly: approximately €130–140 for couples, €120–130 for single men, and €49–55 for single women; JoyClub members receive a modest discount. Tickets are booked in advance through savannah-club.com, which also lists the schedule of themed evenings — including periodic Wellness Sunday sessions — held throughout the year. On arrival, the owners personally greet every first-time visitor and walk them through the full venue. The dress code is applied strictly at the door: men in black dress trousers, a dress shirt, and closed shoes; women in a little black dress, lingerie, or equivalently dressed-up attire.

Swingers Oase

Ammerzoden, Gelderland

swingers_club

Swingers Oase is a small, intimate parenclub on the Haarstraat in Ammerzoden, a village in Gelderland roughly midway between Zaltbommel and Den Bosch. In operation for over a decade, it positions itself as an approachable alternative to the larger commercial venues in the nearby cities — somewhere guests can make contact easily in a setting the club describes as gezellig (convivial and homely). Open to couples, single women, and single men, the guiding philosophy is niets moet, alles mag (nothing required, everything permitted) between consenting adults, with mutual respect as the founding house rule. The venue is fitted with an eight-person jacuzzi, a two-person sauna, a bar and buffet, a dance floor with DJ music, a lounge area, a terrace, and a range of private and group playrooms. Entry is all-inclusive, covering food, beverages, and full use of all facilities. Current pricing varies by day and event type and is published on the club own agenda — always confirm before attending. The club runs a varied programme across several evenings each week. Themed nights — including Blacklovers evenings, Bi-Curious parties, and Hollandse events — rotate through the schedule, with reservations required for weekend nights. Single men must reserve in advance on all open evenings. On the fifth Friday of the month the Parenavond is reserved exclusively for couples and single women; single men are not admitted that evening.

Syn in Tulsa

Unverified

Tulsa, OK

Syn in Tulsa is a female-focused lifestyle club founded in 2014 by Troy and Christy Hamilton and operates from a discreet suite at 5553 S Peoria Ave with the deliberate look of a regular office building. The entrance opens into a social area with bar-style seating, couches, a dance floor, a kitchen stocked with complimentary soda and water, unisex bathrooms, a selfie wall, cubby storage, and an outdoor smoking area. Behind that sits the main playroom with four beds, several couches, and a St Andrews cross, plus the Brat Realignment Center equipped with an obedience chair and spanking bench. Parties run Saturday nights only, doors at 8 pm and the party in full swing by 9 pm until 2 am. The venue operates a full-service bar and is not BYOL. Cover is $20 per couple, $40 for single males, and free for single women. All attendees must be 21+ and receive a bracelet at check-in. The club averages 100-200 guests per party with a wide range of ages, body types, and orientations. Owner Troy Hamilton built Syn around a safe place for women to fulfil their fantasies philosophy. Single males cannot enter the playrooms unless escorted by a couple or solo woman. A dedicated floor manager circulates the play areas. Solo women can arrange a staff escort from the parking lot. The club encourages regular STD testing and offers a $20 cover discount on presentation of a recent test receipt.

TABOTA Events

Toronto, Ontario

Event Organizer

TABOTA Events is a Toronto-based lifestyle event organizer that has run couples-focused takeovers and getaways across Canada since 2007. Rather than operating a single venue, TABOTA produces a rotating slate of ticketed events, including the Halloween-themed Monster Bash hotel takeover in Niagara Falls, the outdoor Teddy Bare Picnic clothing-optional camping weekend, the Valentines in Niagara convention, and the seasonal Sandy Bottoms Resort in Central Ontario. The company is run by the same team behind The O Zone, an established Toronto swingers club. Each TABOTA event takes over its venue entirely, whether a hotel, campground, or resort, creating an adults-only space with DJ-driven dance floors, themed lounges, clothing-optional pool areas, and dedicated play rooms staffed by event hosts. Photography and phone use are banned in event spaces, and organizers emphasize enthusiastic consent, on-site security, and guest privacy, with pseudonym use common among attendees. Events are couples-only (male-female or female-female pairs); single men are not admitted, though single women may attend select dates. Entry is 19+ and ticketed in advance. Monster Bash pricing, for example, runs from roughly $169 per person for weekend access up to $439 per person for a two-night hotel package, plus tax, with a mandatory per-person credit for food and drinks due at check-in. Tickets are sold through tabotaevents.com and its event-specific sites, and organizers note that events routinely sell out weeks in advance.

The Chilli Club

Unverified

Auckland, Auckland

On-Premise Club

The Chilli Club has operated from 3122 Great North Road in New Lynn, Auckland for over fifteen years, making it one of the city's longest-running adult lifestyle venues. The space functions under two linked identities: The Chilli Club hosts swinger parties and alternative lifestyle events, while CHOKE — the Chilli House of Kink Events — serves Auckland's kink and BDSM community with workshops, play parties, photography events and professional performances. Both arms share the same licensed premises, address and contact email. The play space spans approximately 200 square metres and is fitted accordingly: a fully licensed bar, multiple play areas with large-screen TVs, a stripper pole with full-length mirrors, a sex swing and a shower area. The space is also available for private hire — from intimate gatherings to BDSM workshops — with a non-refundable $100 deposit required to confirm a booking and the balance settled on the night. All attendees must be 18 or older and may be asked to present ID. Phones, cameras and all recording devices — including smart glasses such as Ray-Ban Meta — must be powered off and stored before entry. The venue's designated safe word is 'RED', and the consent framework explicitly endorses SSC, RACK and PRICK principles. Blood play, needles, breath play and scat are prohibited outright; violations may result in immediate removal and a permanent ban with no refund of entry fees.

BDSM Club

The Crucible describes itself as “a volunteer-run, private, members-only club” for the BDSM, Swingers, and other alternative sexuality communities in Washington, DC. The non-profit opens only when events are scheduled, most Friday and Saturday nights, and its FAQ says it reopened in Eckington in April 2017 after being closed since 2014, with over a decade in southwest DC before 2011. A calendar listing cites 6,000 square feet of play space and says the club has a dance floor, seating area, lounge, 2 private rooms, a semi private space and a dungeon space packed with furniture. It also has a bar, a social area by the pool table, lockers and a medical play area. Regular nights include Dungeon 101 for newcomers, RISQUÉ play parties with EDM DJs, Rope Share, Black Rose Tuesday classes and monthly board game days. Admission is for members and one guest each, except Dungeon 101, an outreach night open to non-members aged 18 or older before late-night open play. Members apply online in advance and everyone shows government photo ID. Alcohol is sold only at 21+ events, outside alcohol is banned and there is no general dress code. Phones and cameras are barred from the main club, high-risk scenes need staff approval, and rule-breakers can be removed without refund.

The Freaky Rock

Geesthacht, Schleswig-Holstein

The Freaky Rock is a swinger lounge beside the Schleusenkanal in Geesthacht, a small Elbe-side town roughly 35 kilometres southeast of Hamburg. Operated by Tanja and Matthias Ullrich — who together bring more than twenty years of experience in the lifestyle sector — the venue has occupied its current address for over twelve years, making it one of the more long-established clubs in Schleswig-Holstein. The owners describe it as the 'somewhat different swinger club', with a strict no-professional-workers policy and a focus on an amateur, community-driven atmosphere. The interior spans approximately 400 square metres and can accommodate up to around 150 guests. Facilities include a bar and buffet, a dance floor fitted with a pole, dedicated changing rooms and showers, lockable couple rooms, open play areas, a wellness section with sauna and hot tub, BDSM equipment including a St. Andrew's cross, and an outdoor area with a separate enclosed smoking section. The club is explicitly LGBTQ+ inclusive and designated a transgender safe space, with gender-neutral restrooms on site. The entrance and car park are wheelchair-accessible. The Freaky Rock runs an event-driven weekly programme rather than fixed nightly hours, with times published ahead of each event via its JOYclub listing. A typical week covers a Tuesday evening party, a Friday Croque Night, a Saturday rock-themed evening centred on Rammstein and Onkelz, and a Sunday Genießer Brunch. Gay and bi-male nights also appear in the regular calendar. First-time visitors are offered an optional guided tour of the venue. Advance registration is mandatory — walk-ins are not accepted. The preferred booking route is via the club's JOYclub profile; guests without a profile may contact the venue by phone, WhatsApp, or email. All door payments are cash only.

The Hellfire Club

Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey

On-Premise Club

The Hellfire Club describes itself as an “Alternative lifestyle club” and hosts parties in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, for guests aged 21 and over. Parties are monthly apart from Brief Encounter on Wednesdays and Secret Sunday on Sundays, which run weekly; the monthly lineup includes a couples weekend, a ladies' night and the fetish nights SWISH, AllBarNone and The Dungeon. The club lists open play areas including a dogging car, a cinema, a grope maze, the dungeon and some playrooms, intended for both play and voyeurism, plus a Terrace Garden, a Courtyard Garden and a bistro. It says it is “not spa, or naturist venue”, so people generally stay clothed until they play. Tickets are listed on Eventbrite. Single men are limited in number, must pre-book and need either digital membership or ID and proof of address; they and TV/TG guests are not admitted to couples-only events. Every party is a pay bar and guests cannot bring their own alcohol or soft drinks. Entry can be refused for ripped or faded jeans, dirty clothes or intoxication, and mobile phones are barred in public areas except reception and the two gardens.

The Menagerie Brighton

Brighton, East Sussex

Event Organizer

The Menagerie is a Brighton-based event series for the sex-positive and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) community, operating as a roving collective rather than a fixed-premises club. Its tagline — Desire, Consent, Pleasure — signals the organising philosophy: events are explicitly framed not as a sex club but as 'an intimate event for people who want to explore giving and receiving pleasure,' with connection and safety placed alongside appetite. The series runs two distinct formats: open social mixers held monthly at rotating licensed venues across Brighton, and private play parties held at a vetted, undisclosed central Brighton location. The social mixers — held at queer-owned and queer-friendly bars including The Archives and The Greenhouse — are capped at between 50 and 65 guests depending on the venue. The atmosphere is deliberately low-key: cosy lighting, soft music, and a pub-appropriate dress code ('express yourself and feel comfortable, but keep it pub-appropriate — explicit kink wear and lingerie might be best left for other occasions'). No sexual activity takes place at the socials; they function as a community meet-and-greet as well as an in-person vetting step. The play parties draw a smaller, fully vetted crowd of around 40 guests at the undisclosed address. The community skews poly, queer, and LGBTQ+-inclusive throughout. Socials run monthly — most commonly on Thursdays or Wednesdays — from 20:00 to midnight, with a minimum age of 21. Attendance at a social is a prerequisite for play party admission: prospective attendees must be vetted in person before a play party invitation is extended, and attending a social carries no automatic guarantee of future event access. The Menagerie website and its Skiddle listings are the primary booking channels.

The New Gatehouse

Kearsley, Greater Manchester

Events Venue

The New Gatehouse describes itself as a “Fully licensed events venue, available for private hire” and trades as GH Events from a former pub on Bolton Road in Kearsley, Bolton. It calls itself an “LGBTQ+ safe space” for guests aged 21 and over, with no membership fees, and runs a weekly program of themed days; Sundays are closed for private events, and the club says events may vary weekly depending on hosts and private hire bookings. The program includes T-Girls and Admirers days, a T-Girl and men only day, a Bi-day, a kink evening, Fetish Fridays and a hosted Saturday-evening social with food and music. The venue has a licensed bar, a free pool table and jukebox, social areas, and open and closed photo rooms. Entry is for adults 21 and over, and guests may be asked to prove their age. Women, T-Girls and men can attend individually, couples are also welcome, and all-male groups are not admitted. On arrival visitors are shown around and given the rules, and first-timers are advised to look around and chat. Its primary rule is “no means no”; recording or taking photos is not allowed in social areas or open photo rooms, and the club reserves the right to refuse admission for behaviors such as intoxication, illegal drugs and sex working, while discrimination or abuse results in removal and a ban. The club states there is no dress-down policy.

The No3 Club describes itself as a “luxurious new swingers club” that welcomes “Swingers old and new.” It is an over-21 venue in Chorley, Lancashire, with a fully licensed bar, and its regular programme covers a Greedy Girl Day on the first and third Wednesday of the month, an Intro Night on the second and fourth Friday, a Saturday evening swing night and a Super Sexy Sunday every other week. Inside, the club has open rooms and private rooms alongside the bar, towels available for men who dress down, and a buffet on Greedy Girl Days. A large car park outside is free every evening after 6pm, and the club says it is also available for hire. First-time visitors must call the club before turning up, leave a real name and planned date, and bring photo ID. Single women and single men are both admitted, with single men limited and pre-booking required on Saturdays, and membership required for couples and single men on Sundays. Dress is smart casual with no sportswear or trainers, with a dress-down to lingerie for women or boxers or a towel for men. The club says “No always means No,” and a polite “No” is meant to leave a guest alone.

The Sublime Society

London, London

Performance Night / Event Series

The Sublime Society is a monthly erotic performance event series staged at Dear Darling, a luxury bar and nightclub at 91 Jermyn Street in Mayfair's St. James's district, a short walk from Green Park station. Co-founded by burlesque artist Charlie Bouquett and House of Fatale founder Missy Fatale, it presents itself as an "exclusive hedonistic soirée" — a voyeur-forward sensual salon in which live burlesque, shibari suspension, fetish performance, and sapphic dominance play unfold in close proximity to a seated and standing audience. The project carries an explicitly FLINTA-centered artistic policy: all performers identify as femme, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, or asexual, and the organisers have publicly committed to exclusively female-identifying performers for their London editions. Dear Darling occupies a double-level footprint. The main salon — called The Living Room — holds 50 seated and up to 160 standing guests among wood-panelled walls, plush sofas, velvet armchairs, green drapery, and low crystal-strung chandeliers. There is no raised stage: performers move through the room itself, and mirrored ceilings provide sightlines from multiple angles while a rigged shibari frame hosts rope suspension pieces. Below, reached only through what the venue calls Lady Darling's wardrobe — a concealed door — sits a basement nightclub with capacity for around 160, featuring avant-garde décor and a DJ booth; this space operates as the afterparty venue for Sublime Society ticket-holders from approximately 11pm. A curated cocktail menu runs throughout both levels. Events run roughly monthly on Friday evenings, with doors at 7:00–7:30pm and the performance programme concluding between 10:15pm and 11:30pm depending on format; the basement afterparty continues to 2:00am. A secondary format, The Sublime Society: SALON, runs shorter evenings (7:00–10:30pm) and layers a live podcast recording and a participatory BDSM impact-play workshop onto the shibari performance. Tickets are sold exclusively in advance via DesignMyNight; standard general admission sits between approximately £38 and £65 depending on the event, with couples packages at a 20% reduction and three-person packages at 30% off. A VIP tier adding reserved lounge seating and basement nightclub access runs £59–£80, and a Meet and Greet add-on (£20–£22) provides post-show access to the cast.
