What drinks do you take to a swing club?

[2NoLimit 95]

Never been to a swing club, and we are planning to attend Trapeze FL for a special event.

 

I'm just wondering what do you take to a swing club as your drinks?

Do you take a case of beer, bottle of wine etc...

 

We just kinda feel awkward bringing in bottle of liquor to a club. Feels kinda like sneaking a bottle to a concert back in my teens (LOL).

 

I personally like a fairly new drink that one of the local bars we visit made up (found that out the hard way). Can't ask it by name as that already embarrassed me at another bar. (They named it Puerto Rican P***y)

 

My husband will probably want to take a few bottles of Fuller's Vintage Ale. (He likes a good beer)

 

Anyway it contains 1/2 shot of peach schnapps, 1 shot of Bacardi Lemoin on Ice with cranberry juice.

 

Do we just take say half a bottle of each, and we are assuming the cranberry juice is supplied by them?

 

Also would like to know do you tip the bartender, and if so what is the typical amount?

We go to trapeze, and usually bring a bottle of rum. Yes the provide all the mixers, at no extra cost. Bring whatever you like to drink, I have seen people bringing in beer, wine, liquor, wine coolers. When you come in you put your bottles on the counter top and they put a sticker with your membership number on it (have them wright your #on the arm band they give you. Once you are checked in take your alcohol to the bar and the bartenders will keep it for you and you can come get a drink whenever you like. We always tip the bartenders. At the end of the night just don't forget go to the bar and pick up whatever you have left.

When you get there if you have any questions the entire staff is very nice and willing to answer any question you may have.

Do you really have to take whatever is left, we wouldn't want to be driving with open containers?

 

My other concern is the hygiene of the place, we have read mixed reviews, the latest review was complaining about how hot and smelly it gets in the back room (Nothing would kill the mood faster). Has this been your experience at the trap? We also have Club hedonism, and Miami velvet within driving distance.

Have you experienced any of the other ones, and if you have would you recommend one over the other?

 

Wouldn't want to start out the membership fee if there's better options (Don't understand why they don't offer new members a trail membership) That's the main reason we are going to the trap for that one night it's on a Monday and strictly VIPbliss members only. All there party's are Couples and single ladies only.

 

Thanks again for your response

We feel. The same way as you. We don't want to have an open container in the car after having a couple drinks. If there's most of a bottle left we will take it put it in our trunk or out of reach. If there's only a couple drinks left we tend to leave it and they will most likely Toss it out.

 

We like to mix drinks or cocktails as well but when going to a club hour rule is keep it simple. We prefer her not to take in the large shopping bag with multiple containers it's hard for us it's difficult for the staff so we usually just take a bottle of vodka and either mix it with cranberry or orange. Your bartenders are working for tips so keep that in mind for most places. Never had any problems with hygiene the playrooms are far removed from the bar dance floor and in the food area.

 

We had a big problem at first with food served with her that's finger foods and snacks or like a buffet style at any of these places because of hygiene concerns. We are now more inclined to re-energize after playtime at the snack table because that has become comfortable and appears to be well-maintained by staff.

 

There was another thread here that had the you know you're a swinger yes and it said you could tell if you were a swinger because most of the liquor bottles in your cabinet had your name on it. Not sure that's a signal that we want to endorse when we have guests over

At the DJ's Island Very Private Club, the bartender puts a label on you bottle having your member number. At the end of the night you can leave the bottle at the bar and it will be ready for you next visit.

We usually stay across the street, so we carry the bottle in a draw string back pack. If you have a lot left over, I would just put it the back seat or trunk.

 

Trapeze does have a 2 month membership, this is the one we get because we don't always get to go as much as we would like.

 

As far as the backroom goes, it does get busy quick, and its pretty clean the worst thing is that sometimes drinks get spilled on the floor, so we started bringing flip flops and sticking them in the locker. Once we get checked in and get a drink we go get a locker and put our belongings in there, keys, condoms, flip flops, and anything else we might have. The food is really good and they have breakfast starting at 12:00.

 

We have only been to Trapeze and Secrets Hideaway.

Thank you all for the great advice. I guess we still have some jitters.
