What reviewers say
Public reviews for Shameless Grounds — the Benton Park café in St. Louis that hosts the ENM/lifestyle couples night — skew strongly positive on Google (4.8 from 325 reviews), with reviewers repeatedly praising the eclectic, sex-positive décor, playful double-entendre menu names, strong coffee, and standout breakfast sandwiches. Multiple reviewers specifically mention feeling welcomed as newcomers to a sex-positive space.
TripAdvisor's smaller sample (4.2 from 25 reviews) is more mixed. Many still praise the coffee, brownies, and "delightful naughtiness" of the theme, but the most consistent friction point across negative reviews is inconsistent front-of-house service — several describe staff as slow to greet, grumpy, or unhelpful, particularly toward first-time visitors unfamiliar with the venue's unconventional menu and vibe.

Shameless Grounds is a sex-positive cafe in the Benton Park neighborhood of south St. Louis, Missouri, operating since 2011. On the fourth Friday of most months it hosts ENM Night, a ticketed social mixer for people practicing or curious about Ethical Non-Monogamy -- swingers, polyamorous folks, and those in open marriages are all welcome. The regular coffeeshop space converts into an evening social scene with a full bar, drink specials, food, curated music, and icebreaker games to help guests mingle; most months the crowd spreads onto the patio. Because the cafe holds a City of St. Louis liquor license, no nudity or sexual activity is permitted on-site -- this is a flirtatious meet-and-greet, not a play party. ENM Night runs 6-10pm, with $10-per-person tickets sold in advance via the cafe's Square site. Dress code is upscale casual or sexy. House rules emphasize consent -- "no means no" -- and guests who become visibly intoxicated are cut off and asked to leave.
