Club Bacchus

Club Bacchus occupies a discreet licensed venue at 11–15 Princes Street in the centre of Dundee — Tayside's only dedicated lifestyle club, self-billed as "Scotland's premier private members' club" and "Tayside's most stylish and discreet adult lifestyle venue." The address has a long history as an alternative-lifestyle space; Bacchus is the direct successor to Club Kudos, which had been running the building as a gay/bi/BDSM/swinger venue since around 2019 (Kudos signed up 160+ members in its first weeks per the Dundee Courier, and held a 4.3/5 Google rating across 20 reviews before the rebrand). Bacchus took the lease on and broadened the programme — the same west-of-city-centre warren of rooms, the same sauna and steam room downstairs, the same focus on serving the swinging, BDSM, kink, gay and LGBTQ+ communities under one roof, but now run as a single brand by an owner the FabSwingers reviewers consistently refer to by first name: Heather. The venue sprawls across two floors. Downstairs holds a large entertainment lounge and a smaller quiet lounge, a sauna and steam room, full shower facilities, glory holes, a working kitchen serving hot and cold drinks and snacks, and a separate indoor smoking area. Upstairs is a warren of five dedicated kink rooms and three themed playrooms, including a Fem Dom dungeon and a 1-on-1 Mistress session room available by separate booking during dungeon events. The programme runs on a tight monthly rhythm: Friday nights typically 8pm–late, Saturday afternoons (3–8pm) for Hosted Kink Events with novices welcome, and Saturday nights 8pm–late for Swingers Nights, "Open to All" parties, PJ Game Parties, TV/CD & Admirers evenings, and the recurring Men Only Sauna and "No Lights, No Towels (Men Only)" formats. The sauna itself runs Tuesday through Sunday. Entry is event-priced rather than membership-based — a £2.50 non-members daily fee is bundled into every Swingers Night ticket, which sits at £25 for couples, £32.50 for single men, £12.50 for single women, and £20 for women arriving dressed in themed attire. Towels, lockers and condoms are included. The club is BYOB throughout; mixers, soft drinks and snacks are complimentary, and guests are asked not to drink before using the sauna. Kink nights run strictly alcohol-free, and dungeon nights sometimes carry their own separate ticketing for 1-on-1 Mistress sessions. Dress code splits cleanly by floor — downstairs is smart casual or elegant clubwear, upstairs is lingerie, towel or less. The PJ Game Party runs a colour-coded pyjama system to signal preferences (blue for seeking male, pink for seeking female, yellow male-male, red female-female, mix & match for both). The crowd is mixed in every sense — couples, singles, kinksters, queer guests, first-timers — and Heather is widely credited in reviews for personally walking newcomers around the venue before the night gets going.
