Twist SF

Twist describes itself as “a private party which caters to lifestyle couples” and single ladies, with select single gentlemen admitted on certain nights. It holds parties in what it calls “a dedicated swinger's party space,” not a residence, at 387 Bay St in San Francisco, on Friday and Saturday nights, with Her Fantasy Party on select Sundays. Guests arrive at a coat check and sign-in station near a BYOB bar and a few lounge areas. Up a few steps are a dance floor with a VIP booth, a small stage and dance poles, and a hallway to the lockers, restrooms and play areas, with a shower at the back. VIP areas can be reserved, including a private back room with a closable door. Couples and single women can walk in; single men attend by emailed request with a photo for a limited number of Friday spots, or at Her Fantasy Party. Guests bring their own drinks, with soft drinks and mixers supplied, and heavy drinking is discouraged. The club asks guests to dress to impress and to use phones only at the front door, and bans cameras. Drugs or illegal activity mean ejection and a permanent ban; couples must stay near each other in play areas and leave together.
