 | As leaving a review on TripAdvisor didn't quite seem to be the right thing to do, I thought I'd leave one here instead!
We visited Swindon Swingers on Saturday 3rd October. I should stress from the outset that this is a really nice club and I encourage everyone to visit. What follows is merely feedback for the owners and should not put anyone off going.
It was very quiet, but I suspect this was down to the rugby, and to their credit, the guys at the club gave us a voucher for free future entry on the basis that they were not sure what to expect on that particular evening.
The venue is spotless, and beautifully decorated. It's rather labrythine and there are plenty of nooks and crannies to hide away in... or so we thought...
As it was a fairly quite night, there seemed to be a disproportionate number of single males, who would hang around the bar area and then as soon as we got up for a wander they would "casually" follow us... and the aforementioned nooks and crannies didn't seem to give any shelter from this. One single male spoke to us in the bar, but the others simply followed us around. What on earth makes these people think that if we haven't chatted to them in the bar we are suddenly going to invite them to have sex with us? This isn't really the fault of the venue, but it's not a problem we have experienced in busier clubs.
There were maybe 2 other couples in there, perhaps 3. I say perhaps because the male half of one couple spent most of the night passed out in a chair, clearly the worse for wear. In most clubs, and indeed most pubs, he would have been asked to leave - he was still there when we left at 2:30.
This is the first club we have been to where we weren't given a tour on arrival. It's not essential as some people may enjoy finding their way around, but it would have been nice to have had the offer. Having said that the staff were friendly and professional at all times.
the drinks are reasonably priced, and there is a good choice.
This final piece of feedback might seem picky, but the music being played was very sleepy and dreary - more appropriate for a relaxing spa / sauna (which this place is by day) than a swingers club, which requires something more energising. We felt like we were falling asleep!
All in all, this is a great club and it's great to have something this good on our doorstep. We will certainly be returning and I hope they can get a few more people through the door and ensure that the club has a long life.
A little more advertising seems to be required, as others have noted. They offer a 2-4-1 entry for couples (that is two couples get in for the price of one), so it's worth hooking up with another couple beforehand.
All in all, a positive review - everyone should visit, and hopefully the few minor wrinkles can be ironed out.
