Sex clubs in Toronto

A search for sex clubs in Toronto turns up two different kinds of venue. The first is the swinger or lifestyle club: a private members club where adults meet each other by mutual consent, under the club's own rules. The second is the strip club: a bar that sells a show, dances and drinks. They ask different things of a visitor, so knowing which one you want is the first decision of the night.

This guide lists only clubs with a fixed street address inside the City of Toronto. Many lifestyle events in the region are run by promoters in hotels and changing venues, and several lifestyle clubs are in other towns around the city; those are not listed here. Each club page gives the address, the opening hours and the ways to contact the club.

The lifestyle club listed here is downtown, a short walk east of Yonge Street near Carlton Street. The strip clubs are on Yonge Street downtown, near Yonge and Dundas and near Yonge and Bloor, and on Bloor Street West in the Bloordale area near Lansdowne, in the west end.

Two Kinds of Club, One Search

A strip club is a night out as a spectator. You pay any cover the club charges, take a seat, order a drink and watch the stage, and private dances are offered at the tables or in a VIP area. Most of the strip clubs listed here present fully nude dancers and stay open until 2 am, and some have VIP rooms or a VIP lounge.

A lifestyle club is a night out as a participant. You are not buying a performance: you are a guest in a private club among other adults, and what happens depends on mutual consent and on the club's rules for that night. The door rules matter more here than at any strip club, because they change with the day of the week.

The Lifestyle Club: Who Gets In and When

The lifestyle club listed in this guide is a private members club and spa for adults aged 19 and over, with a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a bar. Clothing is optional, and its own rules say that no one is required to be naked. Admission includes a day membership, and a valid government-issued photo ID is checked on every visit.

Its door rules depend on the night. Couples and single women are admitted every day. Single men are admitted from Sunday to Thursday only: Friday and Saturday are reserved for women and couples, and on some Monday theme nights single men are not admitted either. A single man planning a visit picks the night first and checks the club's calendar before going.

The club publishes its admission prices on its own site, and its page in this guide gives them along with its hours and the time after which the door takes no new guests.

How a Strip Club Night Works

Have photo ID ready at the door and expect to pay any cover on the way in. Dress as you would for a bar; one club listed here describes its dress code as casual. Inside there is a stage and a bar, and dancers take turns on stage through the night.

Between sets, dancers come to the tables and offer private dances. Ask the price before a dance starts, settle it the way the house asks, and keep your hands to yourself. Do not photograph dancers or other guests: one club listed here does not allow phones or cameras inside at all.

Stag parties and groups are welcome at some of the clubs listed here. With a large group, call the club ahead and arrive together.

Where the Clubs Are and Getting There

Downtown, the strip clubs on Yonge Street are a short walk from Dundas station and from Bloor-Yonge station on the subway, and the lifestyle club is a short walk east of Yonge Street near Carlton Street. In the west end, the strip clubs on Bloor Street West are near Lansdowne station. Every club in this guide is inside the City of Toronto.

The clubs close late. Check the time of the last subway train against the club's closing time; taxis and rideshares cover the trip back to a downtown hotel.

Which Club for Which Night

For a show and a drink with no rules beyond good manners, a strip club is the simpler choice: you walk in as a customer and the night runs on the club's schedule.

For couples, or for anyone who wants to be part of the room rather than an audience, the lifestyle club fits better, as long as the night suits its door rules. A single man looking at a Friday or a Saturday will find the lifestyle club closed to him and the strip clubs open.

Before You Go

A call or a look at the club's own site settles most questions: the hours for that night, any cover or admission, the dress code, whether there is a VIP area and how it works, and, at the lifestyle club, which guests the door admits that night.

Hours and door rules change. Where a club's own site and its other listings disagree, its page in this guide says so and asks you to check with the club. For any given night, the club itself is the authority.
