Curious Club

Curious Club describes itself as “a private members-only social club” in Barwell, Leicestershire, housed in a converted former pub. It opens on Friday and Saturday nights, with special and themed event nights listed on its calendar. The venue has a licensed bar, lounge areas, a light-snacks menu served in the bar and lounge only, showers, numbered lockers issued at reception, dedicated play spaces and a covered outdoor smoking area, with cleaning supplies and bins provided throughout. On some special nights the club opens to the public as a social area and bar. Couples, single women, single men and CD/TV guests are all admitted at their own rates, but entry runs on a ratio system that never guarantees a place and may be adjusted for themed events. Members must be 21 or over, apply in advance and show valid photo ID on a first visit, when the team offers a guided tour. The bar is the only source of alcohol, as no other alcohol is allowed on the premises, and anyone who appears intoxicated or on drugs is refused entry. Phones stay in the secure lockers, cameras and recording devices are banned, and no activity takes place in the bar, reception or outside area.
