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.

L'Orage Club

Montreal, Quebec

On-Premise Club

L'Orage Club describes itself as “un club privé, responsable” (a private, responsible club) with a club liquor licence. It is an on-premise club at 7700 12e Avenue in Montreal that requires a membership card and opens Thursday through Sunday. Its site says it has operated since 1996, founded by Jean Paul Labaye. The venue has a bar lounge and a discotheque with DJs over two floors of open-plan areas; the club says it favors exhibitionism and voyeurism in a European-style concept and has no closed rooms. Showers and towels are provided. On the second floor guests are never required to undress. Thursday is the “Découvertes” (discovery) night, Friday admits couples, single women and single men, and Saturday is reserved for couples and single women. Single men are admitted Thursday, Friday and Sunday only, as members who follow the dress code. Membership is signed at the door on the first visit with official ID, and newcomers get an introduction to the rules and a guided tour. No reservations are taken, and the club says admission is a privilege, not a right. The door enforces the dress code (no T-shirts, sport shoes or caps), phones and recording devices are strictly forbidden, and breaking the rules can mean cancellation of the membership card or expulsion.

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

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.

The club says it has separate social and play areas, with playrooms, a dungeon with equipment built for the club, a fully licensed bar, DJs, a spa area with towels, changing rooms, lockers and a buffet. Outside are a terrace, private lawns and a heated smoking area, and overnight rooms can be booked by phone. Membership is required: newcomers show photo ID and complete a form at reception, and members' guests may attend only once before joining. Couples and single women are welcome, and single men are admitted on Fridays and at events that say so. Staff are on hand to settle newcomers' nerves and there is no obligation to take part. Guests are told not to bring their own drinks, phones and recording devices are prohibited, and illegal drugs or ignoring a refusal mean removal.

Liberty Rose

Bildstock, Saarland

club

Liberty Rose is a private swingers club in Friedrichsthal-Bildstock, a small town in the Saarland region of southwestern Germany, reached via Neunkircher Strasse 10.

Lifeinstyle STL

St. Louis, MO

Event Organizer

Lifeinstyle STL describes itself as “an exclusive community” for verified couples aged 21 and over. It is an events organizer that runs rotating events: its pages list full hotel takeovers, meet-and-greets at local bars and a National Swingers Weekend at Lake of the Ozarks, with parties in St. Louis and across the Midwest. Large parties are hotel takeovers with DJs and live music, with hotel room packages sold for guests. The FAQ describes themed rooms as “cozy spaces” where couples can lounge and explore, says the parties are “not sex focused or sex based,” and says games and activities are optional. Smaller meet-and-greets run at bars such as Chapter 3 in Soulard, including newbie meet-and-greets, and events range from about 50 to 400 guests. Every guest needs an approved Lifeinstyle account; the club says it vets each profile, approval can take one to four days, and there are no door sales. Events are for couples and single women; single men can apply for select single-male accounts for groups, chat and more. The location is emailed the night before. Dress is cocktail attire unless an event is themed. Consent is mandatory, guests should control their alcohol intake, photos are suggested only in designated areas, and the club reserves the right to admit or deny anyone.

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.

Lifestyle Playtime

Unverified

DeKalb, IL

Event Group / Hotel Takeover Organizer (no fixed venue)

Lifestyle Playtime is a Chicago-area lifestyle group based in DeKalb, IL that runs low-pressure monthly meet-and-greets alongside larger hotel takeover parties, rather than operating out of a single fixed venue. The format keeps overhead low and lets the group rotate between DeKalb and the wider Chicago suburbs depending on the event. Entry is vetted: single men must apply through the group's "Distinguished Gentlemen" screening process before attending, and all guests sign a liability waiver and show photo ID at check-in. Attendees wear an event wristband, and couples are expected to arrive and leave together, with house rules enforced by volunteer hosts rather than paid staff.

club

Location One is a couples and swinger club (Pärchenclub) in Menden, a town in the Märkisches Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, located at Werler Straße 37 within approximately 10 kilometres of the nearest motorway. Operating under the slogan 'Swingen mit Charme und Stil' — swinging with charm and style — the club positions itself at the premium end of the regional scene, with particular emphasis on cuisine, interior design, and attentive hosting. First-time visitors are welcomed with an optional guided tour of the venue. The premises span more than 900 square metres across three floors, organised around nine individually styled rooms that include two private séparées, a fully equipped SM/BDSM room, and two love swings. Social spaces include a full bar stocked with branded spirits, a cocktail bar operating on Saturday evenings, and a champagne bar open from 23:00 to 01:00. A hot-and-cold buffet — freshly prepared meats, seafood, salads, and house-made sauces — is included with admission. A whirlpool, sauna, massage area, pole dance stage, and a heated covered outdoor smoking terrace complete the facilities. Fresh towels and toiletries are provided on every floor. Video-monitored parking sits discreetly behind the building, with three dedicated pitches with electrical hookups available for campervans. The club opens Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to 04:00, with admission beginning at 19:00. Friday evenings run as an open swinger night with couples, single women, and a limited number of single men admitted; Saturday evenings are oriented toward couples and trios. Pre-registration is required before each visit and can be made by phone, WhatsApp, or the club's contact form. Entry prices vary by event and are posted on the events page; cash is the only accepted payment method. A loyalty stamp card rewards regulars: nine stamps earn free entry on any subsequent standard evening, New Year's Eve excluded.

The venue divides into a social front-of-house and a purpose-built play wing.

Its parties are designed for couples and single women, with “veteran swingers and newbies alike” welcome. The club says it is currently taking a break from hosting events and has no venue since the Loft Club closed, but it still answers questions about the lifestyle and the Long Island scene by email or text.

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.

On-Premise Club

Miami Velvet describes itself as “an upscale private nightclub.” It is an on-premise lifestyle club in Miami, Florida, where membership is required of everyone who enters. It opens Friday and Saturday nights, with themed events on its calendar. The club says its 20,000 square feet hold two main dance areas, two lounges, four multi-bed group playrooms and nearly 20 private rooms, plus a back party complex called the “Luvnasium” with mattresses and a viewing window. A couples-only area in the back play area is off-limits to single men. Lockers, towels and mixers are included, and the club advertises DJs on its open nights. Couples and single women are admitted both nights; select single men, meaning clean, polite, well dressed and well mannered, are admitted Fridays only. Guests must be 21 with a government photo ID, and no sponsor is needed to join: the application is completed on arrival, and first-time tourist couples have the membership fee waived but still pay entry. The club is BYOB and sells no liquor; bottles are labeled and kept at the bar, and drunkenness is not tolerated. A dress code is enforced at the door, phones and cameras are not allowed inside, drugs and bad behavior carry zero tolerance, and opening a closed door gets a guest escorted out.

Michigan Swing Place

Lansing, MI

Lifestyle Resort

Michigan Swing Place is a Lansing, Michigan lifestyle group built around recurring hotel takeover weekends rather than a fixed clubhouse: instead of running a standing venue, the group rents out a hotel for each event and turns it into a private party space for a few days at a time. It describes itself as having been started to give the Lansing swing community a second home, says it works alongside the area's other established clubs rather than competing with them, and draws members from across the United States rather than purely locally. Each takeover includes standard hotel rooms and suites along with a limited number of jacuzzi suites, plus access to the hotel's pool, and the group frames the atmosphere as comfortable and welcoming for both regulars and newcomers. An organizing crew is on-site from Friday through Sunday during event weekends to run the party and handle check-in. Recurring themed nights, including a jersey-themed meet-and-greet, a pajama-themed bar party, and a Little Red Dress mixer, run alongside free, lower-key meet-and-greet socials. Entry is oriented toward couples and single women: admission runs $25 for single women, $60 for couples, and $70 for single men, though single men are admitted only after being vetted directly by the organizers in advance, with no walk-up entry for unvetted single men. Meet-and-greet socials are free, with guests covering their own bar tab. First-time attendees complete a check-in form, and the specific hotel location for each event is disclosed only to ticket-holders after purchase, with guests asked not to share it publicly.

The atmosphere is described by management as warm and sociable rather than nightclub-loud, with no pressure to participate. The venue is fitted out with a bar, a lounge, multiple private playrooms, change rooms with individual lockers, and a large outdoor spa. Entry for couples covers all facilities, live entertainment, big-screen movies, hot and cold finger food served throughout the night, and complimentary tea, coffee, and soft-drink mixers. Alcohol is strictly bring-your-own: guests hand their bottles to bar staff on arrival and are served throughout the evening. Towels are provided and a condom and lubricant vending machine is available on site. According to the club's FAQ, Friday nights typically attract 50 to 90 attendees; Saturday nights run smaller, with around 20 to 40 couples. Doors open every Friday and Saturday from 8:00pm to 2:00am.

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.

Monkey Business

Wickford, Essex

Members Club (Roaming Events)

Monkey Business is a private lifestyle members club based in Wickford, Essex, operating since 2019 under the pillars of luxury, discretion, and community. Founded and run as a curated invitation-only operation, it is open to those aged 25 and over. Its home venue is a private villa in Essex whose address is never publicly listed — ticketed members receive the location approximately two hours before each event begins. The villa is equipped with a heated swimming pool, hot tub, sun loungers, and a BBQ for outdoor socialising, alongside a cocktail lounge and multiple dedicated play spaces: a dungeon and red room, a dark room, a cinema room, a glory hole and dark orgy room, and a range of private and social areas. The event calendar carries a strong themed character — leather-and-lingerie nights, 80s neon socials, Tantric Dine evenings with a private chef and four-course meal, Hotwife parties, and Ladies Only Days sit alongside lunchtime afternoon sessions. The club periodically stages events at external venues in Essex and Kent in addition to its home villa. Events are ticketed individually with no fixed weekly timetable; evening parties typically run 20:30 to 02:00, while daytime sessions run from around midday. Annual membership costs £50, is restricted to those aged 25 and over, and entitles holders to reduced entry. A first visit is permitted without membership at selected newbie and daytime events. Single males must hold registered membership and pre-book directly with the organisers before each event — walk-ins are not accepted. Dress code is event-specific and published alongside each listing.

Naughty Revival

Minneapolis, MN

Hotel Takeover Event

Naughty Revival describes itself as “a 21+ 2-Night, immersive experience of kink.” It is an annual hotel takeover in a suburb of the Minneapolis–St. Paul area rather than a fixed club: the organizers rent a whole hotel, opening Friday afternoon and running through Sunday midday. Its About page says the organizer began in 2018 as Kinque Social Society and reorganized in 2021 for the first Naughty Revival event. The event space has a ballroom dungeon, a pool dungeon, a swingers' suite and four stages for demonstrations and performances, plus classes, vendors, an on-site restaurant and bar, and access to a pool, hot tub, sauna and racquetball courts. Sex is allowed only in private rooms or the swingers' suite, and a marked aftercare area is reserved for aftercare. Anyone interested in an alternative lifestyle may attend, singles are explicitly welcome, and guests must be 21 or older. Admission is by two-day ticket through the Naughty Revival Eventbrite store, and the hotel name is released only by email or after buying tickets or rooms.

An optional orientation is offered to first-timers.

Night Pleasures is a Chicago-area lifestyle club run by hosts Lloyd and Sharon out of a Lombard, IL mailing address, though the parties themselves are held off-premise at rotating partner venues rather than a fixed clubhouse. According to the club's own listing, events have been hosted at two locations: Couples Choice in Chicago and Private Affairs in Dekalb, giving members access to established on-premise spaces -- Private Affairs alone offers roughly 5,000 square feet with a bar, DJ and dance floor, social area, shower rooms, themed back playrooms and a jacuzzi. Night Pleasures bills itself as a club "of true lifestylers" catering to couples who want to be at "the very pinnacle of this lifestyle," and it is strictly couples-only, with no single men or single women admitted under its own banner. The schedule runs on a two-tier rhythm: Saturday parties are described as charged, high-energy affairs for more experienced lifestylers, while Sunday parties are pitched as more relaxed and better suited to couples new to the scene. Entry is by interview -- prospective members are asked to call ahead to be screened before attending -- which keeps the group curated rather than open to walk-ins.

Nightshade Halifax

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Event Organizer

Nightshade Halifax describes itself as “a series of kinky themed costume parties” that happen periodically in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for people who want to “learn, explore and meet other open minded people.” The club says it has thrown parties since a launch party in February 2013. Current parties take over a third-floor ballroom at the Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel. A dungeon corner holds heavy-duty bondage furniture, with Dungeon Masters and Monitors who can instruct or lend a hand and keep everyone safe. DJs run the sound system for the dance floor, and a cash-only bar and a coat check are on hand. Event themes include Kinky Colours (with a body painting station), Kinky Halloween, Wasteland and a New Year's Eve party. Guests must be 19 or older with valid government identification, and tickets are sold online in advance, with limited door tickets if any remain. There is no dress code, but costumes or alternative wear are strongly suggested, with black clothing as the fallback, and public decency rules apply. A no-camera rule applies apart from event photographers, and complaints against a guest may lead to a ban from future events.

Nobby's Treff

Bremen, Bremen

Club

Nobby's Treff has held its address at Doventorsteinweg 55 in Bremen's Bahnhofsvorstadt district since opening on 12 October 2001, making it one of the city's longest-running lifestyle venues and, by its own account, the first of its kind in Bremen. The club sits a short walk from Bremen Hauptbahnhof, occupying an unassuming commercial block in this mixed inner-city neighbourhood. Its guiding ethos is distilled in the German tagline printed across all its communications — 'alles kann, nichts muß' (everything is possible, nothing is required) — and regulars credit that philosophy with sustaining the relaxed, non-pressured atmosphere that has kept people coming back for more than two decades. The interior is divided across three distinct areas. A bar forms the social core of the venue, providing a comfortable starting point for the evening. An adjoining lounge contains a sex swing and a lockable, enclosed play hut — a semi-private space-within-a-space that suits couples who want a degree of separation from the open areas. The main playroom is furnished and equipped for group play. A sealed, separate smoking section keeps the main rooms clear. Complimentary towels and hygiene products are provided to all guests, and condoms are available on site at reasonable prices. The management actively maintains a balanced ratio of couples to single men, and the crowd at any given session tends to span a wide age range, drawn together by the venue's reputation for a measured, sociable mood. The club runs on Fridays and Saturdays from 21:00 to 04:00, and adds midweek sessions on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 20:00 to 01:00. Once a month, on the first Friday, a dedicated darkroom evening is held. Entry for couples is €20 and includes the first round of drinks; single men pay €25 with one drink included; single women pay bar prices only with no door charge. All payments are cash only — no card transactions. The dress code is a firm requirement: smart-casual through to overtly sexy attire is welcomed, but sportswear, joggers and baggy sweatshirts are turned away at the door. Men are expected in a shirt and dress trousers or equivalent. The venue can also be privately hired on its regular closed days.
