Vault72

Vault72 occupies 72 Mutley Plain in Plymouth's Mutley neighbourhood, operating as the city's self-described premier alternative and LGBTQ+-friendly bar. The licensed venue accommodates up to 49 guests and pairs a fully stocked bar with a kink dungeon, giving it a dual identity that sets it apart from both a straight-social bar and a dedicated play venue. The crowd is Plymouth's alternative community — swingers, kink enthusiasts, LGBTQ+ regulars, and curious newcomers — who treat the space as a regular social base rather than an occasional destination. The doors are open Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm, with Thursday through Saturday running until 3am. Events rotate across the week: the Friday Swingers Social is a recurring fixture, and the calendar extends to leather socials, fetish nights, bi and gay evenings, pub nights with drink specials, and LGBTQ+-centred party series such as Pridemonium. Private hire is available on any day subject to prior arrangement, with packages starting from £5 per person and options for catering, decorations, and a Bluetooth surround-sound system. Because Vault72 holds a full on-licence, alcohol is served at the bar — no BYOB arrangement applies. The kink dungeon is the play-space anchor, while the bar and social areas keep things relaxed in the early part of the evening, allowing new arrivals to meet the regulars before things move further into the night. The team frames the venue explicitly as a safe, comfortable environment built around community, and the private-hire programme keeps the space active with one-off themed events throughout the week.
