The Pleasure Garden Club

The Pleasure Garden Club describes itself as a “Members Only Lifestyle Club”. It is at 6039 Passyunk Ave in Philadelphia and opens every Friday and Saturday night, with Fridays welcoming couples, single ladies and single men and Saturdays limited to couples and single ladies. Its ticket pages cite “over 20 years of unwavering success”. Its About Us section lists a main dance floor with sound and lights, a back bar with a professional dancer pole, two BYOB juice bars with mixers provided, a group shower with towel service, lockers and themed private fantasy rooms open on Fridays and Saturdays. Ticket listings add a single-level layout and a second Sybian room. Recurring nights include Fantasy Fridays, Newbie Nights and PLEASUREcation on the first Friday of each month. A current membership is required, and anyone without one must buy it before admission; members must be 21 or older with a state-issued ID, and admission can be refused without explanation. The club is BYOB and sells no alcohol. Its dress code points men to suits, sportscoats and dress shirts and does not allow sports attire, tank tops, hoodies or baseball-style hats. Cameras and recording devices are prohibited, phones stay in the car or at the front desk, and illegal drugs bring a ban and police notification.
