About Friends of Ellis
Friends of Ellis is a lifestyle social club in Spokane, Washington, running events across the Inland Northwest since 2018.
It is not a fixed venue. The club runs four main event formats: meet and greets, nightclub events, hotel takeovers and campouts.
Event information can be browsed by anyone. An active membership is required to buy a ticket and attend, and tickets are bought separately.
Venue addresses are never published. Exact details go only to registered or ticketed attendees.
What to Expect at Friends of Ellis
Meet and greets are the entry point for many. They are relaxed social events built on conversation, with no pressure beyond meeting people.
Nightclub events run on music, dancing and late-night energy. The club states that no meet and greet is required first.
Campouts stretch across a weekend, with games, food, pool time and a campfire alongside the evening programme.
Hotel takeovers are the largest format, described as a whole weekend away with the community.
The published standards lead with consent. Ask before touching, listen to the answer, and treat consent as ongoing rather than settled once play begins.
The privacy rule is equally direct. Members do not out, tag, photograph or identify one another.
Who Can Attend
Couples and single women are welcome. Single men are accepted by invitation only, after completing the club's vetting and approval process.
All in-person events are 21 and over.
An active membership is required to buy tickets and attend. Browsing what the club is doing costs nothing.
The club states plainly that a profile, a membership or a ticket does not create an entitlement to participate.

Planning a First Visit
Create a free profile and read the New Here roadmap, which covers terminology, community standards and what to expect.
Buy an active membership before booking, since tickets cannot be purchased without one.
Buy the event ticket separately, and expect the venue address only after registering or ticketing.
A meet and greet is the low pressure way in, though the club states you can go straight to a nightclub night instead.
Single men should expect a vetting and approval process, since attendance is by invitation only for that category.
Before any club night, review swinger club etiquette and what to wear to a swinger club. Couples new to the lifestyle can start with Swinger Lifestyle 101.
