Before Your First Washington Club Night

Most first visits near Washington start with a meet and greet or a social night rather than a play night. That takes the pressure off and lets you meet people before you commit to a venue.

2 of the 4 venues here require a membership or an application before your first visit. Apply a week ahead, since some review every profile by hand.

2 of the venues are BYOB, which is common at private clubs. Bring what you plan to drink and pace it, because most reported problems at clubs start with alcohol.

2 venues publish a specific rule for single men, from a nightly cap to a sponsoring couple. Single men should read that rule on the venue page before buying a ticket.

1 venue publishes a dress code. Where a theme is listed for the night, it is usually enforced at the door.

Ask before joining anyone, take a no the first time, and leave phones in the car or a locker. Those three rules cover almost everything that gets people removed.

Three guides are worth reading together before the night. Start with how to choose your first swinger club, then swinger club etiquette and what to wear to a swinger club. For house parties rather than clubs, swinger house parties explained covers the differences.
