Choice Social Club

Choice Social Club describes itself as an “adult lifestyles club that caters to many different aspects of adult sexuality.” It is an on-premise, members-only club in Providence, Rhode Island, open on Saturday evenings with an occasional Friday event, and it welcomes couples, single women and single men aged 21 and over. The club calls its venue an “8,000 square foot upscale facility” with low lighting, leather furniture, hardwood floors and oriental rugs. It lists a social lounge with a BYOB bar and high top tables, dungeon spaces with hand crafted furniture, and “Specialized fantasy rooms” such as a massage table and school room. Nights include Swing, Fetish and Insatiable events, theme nights with costumes encouraged and a monthly rope class. Only members and their guests with a reservation and valid photo ID are admitted, and everyone takes an orientation tour on a first visit. Applicants sign a privacy agreement, are screened and get a call from the club, and only members learn the exact location. The club is BYOB, with alcohol kept behind the bar and poured by bartenders. The dress code is “Dress to impress,” without t-shirts, baseball caps or sneakers. Intoxication is grounds for removal, phones and cameras are prohibited, and rule violations can mean expulsion.
