"Swinger" Friendly Pubs?!?!

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

After read a thread on the wales forum with the same title i was shocked with some of the responses.

A guy was asking if anyone knew of any "swinger" friendly pubs, innocent enough question, but was flamed with comments like...

"any publican with half a brain in their head would not even consider that idea."

"Should we now start swingers meets in works canteens at lunchtime?"

"Going to the local watering hole and asking the landlord "is it all right if a few of my singing friends take over your pub on a said day" is frankly preposterous, while also saying "hey there's a swingers party in there" is equally stupid."

"I can't imagine any pub would want to be known as a swinger's pub. In a matter of weeks (days?) no non-swingers would go anywhere near the place"

and these are just a few of the things said.

Now as alot of you know, we own such a "swinger" Friendly pub.

We have no problems with the "regulars" as they all know we are swingers and on weekends both the swingers and the regular customers respect each other. They also have no issues with us closing the pub one Saturday night every 6 to 8 for our socials.

We where very shocked of the small mindedness of some of the comments made on the thread.

so over to you guys, whats your views....

Well after being to your pub a couple of times can only say what a great place it is and a great couple you are.

Swingers do not have two heads and are able to mix with vanilla people. Once they know you aren't going to jump on them and s**g their brains out,the realise that we aren't contagious.

You two run a great place, only wished I lived nearer

You are swingers so for you it's not an issue and your regulars can vote with their feet if they choose to do so.

Other publicans probably will not be so tolerant, especially if he/she thinks it's likely to affect trade and it would be pretty naive to think open swinging conversation in a vanilla environment is not going to cause some offence.

Be great if every pub was like yours and everyone lived happily side by side but sadly that is not how it is, so is it small mindedness or folk being realistic

" so is it small mindedness or folk being realistic "

Imo and i stress IMO, it is small mindedness, our pub is a small out of town, mens drinking pub in barnsley, and one who know barnsley will know how "stuck in there ways" they can be. (i stress CAN be and fully aware not all are like this) More so for our regulars as alot of them are older men, from the old mining community. They simply dont like change.

When we decided to hold our own socials, we where u front and honest with them all. Questions where asked, in fact questions are still asked and they get honest answers.

We have lost no regulars since we started our socials, in fact some use the pub more on weekends now, simply to have a nosey lol

As the saying goes Honesty is the best policy.

lol I'm a biker i belong to a biker club, and like swingers theres a stigma that runs with us,,,, ooh look at them bikers in their leathers and those noisey bikes they ride.

lets face it it's a life style, same as swinging, and yes we have trouble finding bike friendly pub's too, and all we want to do is have a drink and sit and talk and an evening out with like minded people, same as swinger's.

End of day if the landlord/landlady is biker/swinger friendly you have a pub that tolerates biker/swinger's and the local/regular usually mix fairly well too

Good on you.

I came out for a drink with a couple of friends to your pub in early December and got a warm welcome.

Hats off to you for being open and upfront about things. I'm from Rotherham and can see what you mean about some traditional views from the folks in Barnsley.

Well done for being open and honest. I hope to come back!

I echo 2bonks post to be honest.

It is great that you can be open with your lifestyle and meets etc.....but don't forget there are people out there who think our way of life is depraved...so I can understand any landlords not wanting to actively promote any swinging.

Kev,

Was not having a dig in any shape or form, I would absolutely love it if there were more establishments like yours around the country and if we were closer we would visit without a doubt.

As I said where yours works is because you own your pub and therefore dictate what goes on but if I was a betting man my money would be on the number of vanilla publicans vastly outweighing the number of swinging landlords.

I fully agree with you that the outlook of a lot of folk in this country is incredibly small minded but imagine if your clientèle was not as accepting of what you do as they are and all voted with their feet.

All of us know that what we do is not socially acceptable to a huge swathe of the British public and as such being "public" about it is always going to be fraught with danger.

Only a conundrum but if you were a vanilla landlord with a popular vanilla pub would you risk it all to occasionally accommodate a few swingers?

As I said I am really envious of the situation you have and sincerely wish we lived a lot closer but I can understand the other position in all this

Kat,

Apologies for assuming it was your other half and based on some of the comments on here sounds like you guys have really got it squared away there.

Well done to you both and if we ever find ourselves in that part of the world we will drop in and say hi

"but don't forget there are people out there who think our way of life is depraved...."

Just the same in the hotel industry, many years ago Kid, myself and our dog booked into a hotel for a weekend break, we selected this hotel as they claimed to be pet friendly, after checking in and unpacking, knock knock on our room door, the owner of the establishment stated "We don't allow you kind of people here, please leave"

When I asked him to explain "You kind of people" it was very clear what his referral was leading to, as requested, we left the "Family" run establishment, point being, bigotry exists in many forms.

My opinion is this

Swingers pubs are fine if thats all they do

regular pubs are fine if thats all they do

I know it would bother me if it tried to cater for everyone

You have to know your niche market I guess I'm trying to say

I would go to a swingers pub if it were aimed at swingers only

But not a regular pub that was swinger friendly, to be gawped at and pondered over by non swingers

this is why I choose to go to a swingers club, no uncomfortable conversations or starring as tho I am living in a goldfish bowl

But I think your lucky if you can pull it off

I can see your point, and admit when swingers started to use the pub on a weekend our regulars did come in to have a nosey, the good thing about our pub is is we have a bar area what the regulars use and a separate lounge area that the swingers use.

After a few weeks the novelty wore off and now both sides do get along, the regulars have realised we are all just normal everyday people and accept this.

I went to a few socials at a place called the "myvod"

Not to far from chams...

they used to reserve one half of the pub for us by the kareoke machine.

The whole bloody pub used to know who we were. lmao

Had a few snotty comments but on the whole things were ok.

We spent alot of money...hence we were tolerated.

Well I see that totally and fair play to you but I would be a little concerned about people who are not regulars tho

And what about some partners who dont wish their partners to hang around with a bunch or sex mad loonies like me?

We frequent the Rose and Crown quite often not just on social nights so have a rough idea of what goes on

Kev and Kat obviously didn't undertake opening their pub up to the likes of us swingers lightly, but from what I've seen it works well. In the current climate any savvy business owners are going to do what they think is best for their business and if that means welcoming a certain type of person be it bikers, swingers, the WI or the local stamp collectors club so be it.

I don't think it would be successful in every pub, but given the Rose and Crown's location and layout it does work well. Regulars in one side, us lot in the other. I've known the regs to stray over and vise versa but everyone respects everyone else.

As for comments like


"I would be a little concerned about people who are not regulars tho"

That implies we're either giving blow jobs under the table or we're stupid - neither of which applies to most of us

We've been in on a few occasions where non regulars have been in the lounge and been blissfully unaware of what we do in our private lives in the same way we've no idea what they get up to.

We're just a group of like minded people that drink in the same pub as each other, we're not shagging over the bar!!

A swinger friendly pub???

Okay, I am kind of baffled here.

Okay if you are closing a pub for a swingers night, all well and good...but if your a swinger visitng a pub, arent you just the same as eveyone else...regardless of what you do in your spare time.

Or do you mean a place where you can meet socially and behave in an antisocial manner with non swingers and it be accepted?

If I were out for the evening and witnessed what I have at 'social' evenings with swingers, I would not be happy. Time and a place.

I knew it would be the antisocial comment that made you respond that way and put it in there deliberately.

It has been my experience that thier is no such thing as a 'social'.

At a swinging social I naively thought thats what is was going to be.

Did I find people groping each other, getting thier bits out and generally acting like they had no self respect antisocial...yes I did...get a bloody room!

Would I like to see that kind of carry on going on in my local pub....no.

So, if its a swingers social I at least know now what I am in for and can make my mind up whether to go or not.

If people are going to a pub just for a drink and a chat, dressed in normal attire...why does it have to be swinger friendly...unless your flaunting the fact. At the end of the day you are another punter with an interesting hobby and no-one would know any different.

It is swinger friendly because its a place where people can come and meet like minded people, face to face, with out the pressure some feel if they have a meet in a club with the play rooms upstairs, its a place where people new to the scene can come have a drink and a chat and ask questions. Most importantly its a place where you can meet new friends in the life style and not necessarily play mates.

Is that so wrong? if so why?

Why because we are swingers would we behave in a antisocial manner????

I knew it would be the antisocial comment that made you respond that way and put it in there deliberately.

It has been my experience that there is no such thing as a 'social'.

At a swinging social I naively thought thats what is was going to be.

Did I find people groping each other, getting thier bits out and generally acting like they had no self respect antisocial...yes I did...get a bloody room!

Would I like to see that kind of carry on going on in my local pub....no.

So, if its a swingers social I at least know now what I am in for and can make my mind up whether to go or not.

If people are going to a pub just for a drink and a chat, dressed in normal attire...why does it have to be swinger friendly...unless your flaunting the fact. At the end of the day you are another punter with an interesting hobby and no-one would know any different.

It is swinger friendly because its a place where people can come and meet like minded people, face to face, with out the pressure some feel if they have a meet in a club with the play rooms upstairs, its a place where people new to the scene can come have a drink and a chat and ask questions. Most importantly its a place where you can meet new friends in the life style and not necessarily play mates.

Is that so wrong? if so why?

"

I dont see anything wrong with that..it appears quite sociable.

So why the sperate rooms if that is all it is and is acceptable at your pub?

"If swinging os so acceptable and the behaviour also accepted, why do you need the swingers to be in a seperate room?

Again if you had read all previous posts, you would have seen it said that both sides do mix."

As i said above both sides do mix, we usually do get the regulars in the bar and the swingers in the lounge, this was a natural thing not something we said should be. Its even been known for both sides to mix laying killer ool and darts.

actually I have read them, you yourself stated bar for regulars, lounge for swingers, therefore segregating them, regardless of whether they mix of not!

Wouldnt have anything to do with the attire some wear, the flesh on show and antics that normally surround such a 'social' would it?

No matter how "discrete" you ask people to be, the truth is that a little "frisky" behaviour is fairly inevitable at a swingers gathering.

Think about it, if you mix booze, a bunch of sexually liberated people, some sexy (but not necessarily naughty) outfits, lots of dirty dancing, and a whole bunch of flirting, then, sooner or later, someone is going to push the boundaries a little.

We have been to a few socials, three have been held in an open pub, the rest in a seperate room. During one memorable night in the open pub, there must have been something in the water, as one couple got a little carried away and were being a little "friendly" in full view, and there was so much dirty dancing from some of the ladies that we gathered quite a crowd of "non swinging" guys who were gawping.

Its by no means definate that this sort of thing will happen at a swingers gathering, and even in the seperate room events most times there is no more than a little heavy flirting going on, but at least with a door between "them and us" any situation isnt going to attract attention and, possibly, any associated trouble.

Kev or Kat,

Not sure you really need to justify what you do as you have enough genuine folk who have stated in here how well your place works, and that in it's self speaks volumes.

If you look back to the start of the thread I did have my reservations but I now accept you have a winning formula and long may that continue guys

I am not slating the pub or those who use it.

I must just be one of the small minded people who thinks has yet to be proved otherwise that swingers socials are just that and acceptable in a pub if I were a non swinger and had popped in for a drink with my family!

Wouldnt it be terrible if we were all the same.

No not at all, and as i said before the segregation as you put it was a natural thing not something that we ourselves enforced. Like any public place where groups meet, each have there own places, for example a saturday afternoon in our bar you get the 'older men' grouped together in the seating area at one end and the younger ones around the pool table at the other end.

The swingers that use our pub are dressed as any one would be for a night out in the pub, why because they are swingers would they be dressed different?

And also as previously stated, people are told discretion is a must, no 'antics' as you call them go on in the pub on a none social event night.

If anyone, be that regulars or swingers where to do anything that would cause offence then they would be told to stop. if they didnt then they would be shown the door....Just like in any other pub.

lmao...Yes, okay, they dress just as they would if they are going out with mates.......obviously your social is different to the umpteen I have visited...well done.

yes on a normal weekend they do, after all they come to our pub for a night out with like minded people, not a night out to play.

Now on a social night where the pub is closed to the public then yes you will see alot of flesh on show.

We have rules and we enforce them.

As its been said, it works for us and it works well.

a last note...dont knock it till you have tried it

Well for me a night out at the pub usually does involve lots of flesh on show - but then I am a tart lol.

Seriously, as "regulars" at the Rose and Crown, and having attended socials there we can honestly say that the social events are completely different to a normal weekend night, and those of us who go understand that and behave appropriately.

All I can say is that the format works and we love the Rose and Crown

I think maybe you have misunderstood Mary and Bejesus?

Socials are swinger only events with all the pub closed to anyone who doesn't have an invite, regulars aren't allowed in at all.

A Friday and Saturday night is something completely different, we're a bunch of people that have a 'hobby' in common - that's it!


"actually I have read them, you yourself stated bar for regulars, lounge for swingers, therefore segregating them, regardless of whether they mix of not!

I find that quite funny, for Barnsley we'd all be positively over dressed!!

I'm surprised at some of the comments being made, we're swingers so we must behave a certain way? You're swingers so that must mean you behave the same way you're suggesting (wrongly) we do?

You may think that peoples opinions were smallminded, but although I didn't read the original thread, it would appear that peoples opinions were sought and indeed given.

You make no mention of any favourable opnions which were given - were there any ?

But to be fair, you have 2 things which would maybe bias your views.

1) You are a swinger

2) You own or run a pub which is as you say 'swinger friendly'

It needs to be borne in mind that not everyone is a swinger and not everyone wants to be part of the lifestyle, much the same as some don't like a pub showing football on the tele or karaoke in the lounge.

Just my thoughts

You could also argue that pubs only show sport and have karaoke etc because the mainstream populous enjoy them hence they are big money spinners.

If you, and not you per se, are able to accept that then it surely goes cap in hand that the minority who complain in true Meldrew style are in fact small minded for not being able accept with good grace the majority view

BENIDORM

We go to a swing social held here in Benidorm once a month. It takes place in a large cabaret club, with the most clientele being holiday makers. Like most socials we been to, lots of flirting and sexy antics take place. It never failed to attract the attention of adventurous onlookers and makes for a super evening of both vanilla and swing. Heres to educating the curious "salud".

fully agree.... and to be really really cynical because someone has to be.. (might as well be the grumpy old man) you are probably going well commercially out of labelling yourself as "swinger friendly" probably brings in extra people, and I am sure that if it was affecting business negatively then it wouldn't have been brought up....

have to say it is very clever... you have the mock irish pubs, and the trendy wine bars and the ones where they are cheap and have no music.... so why not a "swinger friendly" pub, you have found your own hole in the market...

in the end it all about labels... labels... labels....

a "pub" is a pub for me if i can get a decent pint, watch the sport and have a swear and banter!... cool.. ticked all the boxes for me.....

but this thread almost feels like one long commercial for the business that you happen to run..... and the topic and subject matter just happens to be co-incidental...

firsly were labiling ourseles as a swingers pub only on this swingers site were not placing an ad in the local rag .....

and no the thread is not a commercial it was a thread posted in responce to a thread of the same name in the welsh room were not using the swingers friendly as a business ploy or are we distracting away from a normal pub for locals we still have pool, sport on tv and yes karaoke if require

and tbh if we remember correctly you mailed us with an interest. To which we declined maybe this has some bearing on your negative stance now
