Hacienda

Rooted in Bushwick since 2009, Hacienda operates across multiple townhouses in Brooklyn's most creative neighborhood, functioning as both a members-only sex-positive club and an intentional living community. The flagship venue features multiple floors with distinct play areas, social lounges, a hot tub, indoor and outdoor spaces, and room for DJs and live performances. The crowd skews late twenties and thirties, draws a notably gender-balanced mix of couples, singles, and non-monogamous folk, and sets a tone that members describe as intimate rather than nightclub-loud. Access runs entirely through a referral-based membership system. Applicants must be vouched for by an existing member, watch a mandatory consent-policy video, and pay $40/quarter or $120/year; individual event tickets run $45–$85. Three event tiers exist: public themed nights, private members-only play parties, and educational workshops. First-time guests must complete an in-person orientation before their first play party. Play parties feature multiple socializing and play zones, themed decor, DJ sets, and a full meal served around 2am. Trained volunteers called Guardians — identifiable by light-up armbands — circulate throughout every event and do not participate in play. The consent policy is opt-in: all touch requires explicit verbal agreement. Phones and recording devices are not permitted in play areas.
