The Pendulum Club (Hempstead Location)

The Pendulum Club (Hempstead Location) describes itself as “a non smoking, non-vapor, BYOB private membership social venue”, and its About page calls it a “woman owned and operated” lifestyle club. It is at 14448 Hempstead Rd. in Houston, opens Wednesday to Saturday nights, and its site gives 2015 as its year of establishment. The club lists a main dance floor area with a bar and tables, a select area where booths surround a separate dance stage, and a back area with a private room, veiled beds and a group bed area surrounded by several couches. A couples-only area near the main exit door has 2 private rooms and 2 semi private veiled beds. Wrist bands can carry color buttons showing a guest's interests. Admission is for consenting adults over 21: couples, single women and select single men, the men on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights only, and its home page adds “CISGENDER ONLY”. Tickets require a member profile, and a first visit is as a temporary member until approval. Alcohol is BYOB, with ice, cups and mixers free. Men are asked to wear a pressed collared shirt and dress slacks or dressed jeans, never work jeans, sweat pants or shorts. Cameras, recording gear and phone use inside are banned, and illegal drugs or soliciting prostitution get a guest asked to leave.
