Sex clubs and swingers venues, city by city

A gentlemen's club centres on performance. Guests sit at the stage or at tables, tip the performers, and can usually ask for a private dance in a separate room. Contact rules vary from one place to the next, and the door staff will say what is on and what is not when you arrive. Ask at the door how entry, drinks and dances are charged before you sit down.

A swingers club charges for entry, drinks and a social space with play areas, and nothing more than that. Couples and singles come to meet each other, and anything that happens between guests is between those guests, with consent at every step. Many clubs run themed nights, some are couples-only on certain evenings, and single men are often admitted on separate terms. The couples guide to adult venues walks through how the two kinds compare in practice, from the door to the floor.

Listings cluster in a handful of cities. New York has the longest set on this page, with the most gentlemen's clubs of any city here and a smaller group of swingers clubs. London follows with both kinds. Prague leans heavily to gentlemen's clubs, with a short swingers set alongside.

Las Vegas is unusual on this page because it carries more swingers clubs than gentlemen's clubs. Budapest, Denver and Chicago each list both kinds. Athens, Warsaw, Lisbon, Madrid and the Vietnamese cities, including Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, carry gentlemen's clubs only. Bangkok appears here with a short gentlemen's club set. If a city you want is not on this page, try the country page: our Vietnam and United States indexes link to every city we track in those countries.

At the door you pay a cover, you may check a coat, and you tip the host if they seat you. Cash is useful at the stage rail even when the bar takes cards. Dress code is often smart casual in the stricter rooms, where trainers and shorts can be turned away. Phones stay in pockets; photos of performers are off limits in most rooms, and the bouncers will intervene quickly if a camera comes out.

Prices for drinks, dances and VIP rooms are set by the venue and should be asked at the door, not guessed from the website. Tipping on stage, between songs, is a common way to show appreciation, and a short conversation with a dancer at the rail is how private dances are usually arranged. For a quick primer on what the night looks like from the inside, read your first gentlemen's club visit.

Swingers clubs run on consent and quiet manners. You ask before you join a conversation, you ask again before anything else, and no is a complete answer. Many venues have a locker room and a dress code for the main floor, often described as sexy or themed; the club's own page will say. Clubs often keep separate nights for couples, for women, and for mixed groups including single men, so the mix at the door changes from one evening to the next.

Two short reads cover the basics: your first swingers club visit for the practical shape of the evening, which usually opens with a bar hour and a meet and greet before the play areas get busy, and sex club etiquette for the social side, which is the part most first-timers worry about and the part that is easiest to get right.

Each city card on this page leads to a full city page with every club we track there, grouped by kind. Each club card shows its photos, address and contact buttons, and featured clubs also have their own page. We do not take bookings and we do not pass messages: you contact the club directly, by the method the venue prefers.

A small number of venues pay for a featured placement, which pushes their card to the top of a city or category page and marks it clearly. On this page one card is featured, in Denver. If you run a club and want to appear higher, see featured placement for venues. For a sense of how we check what goes on a page, our checks process is written up in short.

If you came looking for something quieter, the adult massage category covers the massage side of the directory, with separate pages for erotic massage, tantric massage, nuru massage and body rub. The home page lists every country and category we track, and about AdultPlaces explains who we are and how venues are added.
