Leisure Time Club

Leisure Time Club describes itself as “Your On-Premise Lifestyle Club”. It is a private, members-only, BYOB alternative lifestyle club at 355 Zion Street in Hartford, open every Saturday night. Its About page says it is in its 49th year, and its home page calls it “the longest running swingers club in the US”. The club spreads over three floors. The main floor has the entrance, a fully attended BYOB bar, a live-DJ dance floor with a brass pole and a soft-lit lounge. Downstairs are a large play room, a soft play area and Roman showers. Upstairs are a private play room, a large play room, a voyeur room, another lounge, showers and lockers. Of its five recreation rooms, one is set aside for beginners, and the equipment includes a sling, a Tantra chair, Taiwan love chairs and BDSM apparatus. The venue is smoke-free, with security, towels and lockers. The club also hosts Ladies Socials, nights designed for women who want to meet other women. No alcohol is sold. Members bring their own, check it in at the bar on arrival and can leave it labelled for later visits; coolers are not allowed, beer is limited to a 12-pack, and mixers and set-ups are free. The club says excessive drinking, drug use and obnoxious behaviour lead to removal, loss of membership and forfeited fees.
