Club Review : Club Sinday (Middletown, Ohio)

Club Sinday is an on premise swingers club in Middletown Ohio, about 45 minutes north of Cincinnati. Club Sinday seems to have a greater focus on marketing than most lifestyle clubs, particularly online, with sponsored adds on all of the major search engines. As a result, it is often one of the first clubs a newer swinger in the Cincinnati area finds out about. Club Sinday was the second swingers club that Mrs. Penguin and I ever attended, and our first impression was just how different it was from the other club we had visited. Like the other clubs in the area, everyone has a different opinion about Club Sinday, but hopefully this review will provide our readers with an objective overview of what Club Sinday has to offer.

On to the review....

Facilities:

From a facilities standpoint only, Club Sinday is my favorite lifestyle club. The club is modern, clean, and well laid out.  The sound and video system is state of the art, the HVAC keeps the club comfortable at all times, and club is laid out in a way that allows for an efficient flow of people, even on a busy night. The building, while nondescript (as most lifestyle clubs are), is easy to find, and there are always plenty of parking stops available.

When you first enter the club, there is a small membership window. Once you have paid the nightly fees, you enter directly into the dance club. This area has a large dance floor, a stage type area, stripper poles, and plenty of seating space. There are lots of tables, and a few smaller more intimate sitting areas. There is a pool table and shadowbox in this area as well.

On the back side of the club, you will find the DJ booth, restrooms, locker room, and bar area. The restrooms are sufficient for the size of the club, and have always been clean when I have attended Club Sinday. The locker room is fairly small, and on a busy night it may be difficult to find an available locker, but typically there are enough lockers to go around. The lockers themselves are small, and you may have trouble fitting larger bags into it. The club features a large L shaped bar, typcially staffed by a bartender. There are drink coolers that can be accessed without going behind the bar, so can you access your drinks without needing to use the bartender. You do not need to check your drinks at club Sinday, so it is up to you if you utilize the bar tender or not. There is counter for snacks and other food in the bar area, and the club typically had food such as chicken wings, pizza, or BBQ sliders on saturday night.

The play area of Club Sinday is located on the front side of the club, near the entrance. 2 small stairways lead to the private rooms. There are 4-5 private rooms, and an additional 4-5 screened in beds for more voyeuristic play. The private rooms are on one side of the hallway, and the open beds are on the other. When traffic is flowing through the area, this setup works really well, but it can get a bit congested if there are lots of people watching people on the open beds. The private rooms are small but clean, and are open to the rest of the club on the top. This keeps the temperature in these rooms at a comfortable level, even when things are getting pretty hot inside them. I really like the layout of the play area at Sinday, but feel that it could benfit from having a few more private rooms, as on a busy night they all fill up quickly.


Location :

Club Sinday is located in Middletown Ohio, about 45 minutes north of Cincinnati. The club is a few miles off the highway, but is still very easy to access from I-75. There are numerous shopping, dining, and hotel options a short drive from Club Sinday, but there is nothing within walking distance. The Middletown area is actually a great place for a club, as it provides easy access to swingers from both Cincinnati and Dayton, and its close proximity to I-75 makes visiting the from more distant cities such as Louisville, Lexington, Lima, Toledo and Columbus possible.



Clientele :

At most swingers clubs, the membership base makes or breaks the club. Club Sinday is no exception to this rule, although the other members making or breaking the club is left largely up to your own interpretation.

Like most lifestyle clubs in this region, the membership base of Club Sinday is mostly Caucasian and in their 40's or 50's. Other ethnic groups are represented in smaller numbers, and everyone feels welcome, but it is certainly not as diverse as other clubs in the region. There are some members in their 30's at Club Sinday, with the 30's demographic representing a larger segment of the member base every time we visit. The clientele of Club Sinday appears to have a heavier representation of white collar vocations than it does blue collar, although there are certainly members from all walks of life. Club Sinday has a fairly strict dress code policy, mandating a higher level of dress than other clubs in the area, but from my own personal observations it appears that the dress code is loosely enforced at best. Even with the loosely enforced dress code, Club Sinday frequently has a higher percentage of members who are "dressed to impress" than other clubs in the area.

Club Sinday is a swingers club before anything else, and most of the members are actively in the lifestyle. While not everyone is looking to play every time they attend the club, there are very few people who are not actually swingers, and are simply looking for a place to drink and people watch. The exception to this guideline would be when the club hosts "Debauchery Friday", an event that frequently pulls in many members of the BDSM community.  While these club members may not be swingers (some are, some are not), they generally have a good understanding of the lifestyle, and they are typically very outgoing and easy to talk to. The regular membership base of Club Sinday is friendly, but from my experiences at this club, they are not particularly eager to meet new people and welcome them into their groups. Many of my lifestyle friends have described Club Sinday as "Qlickey", and from my experiences with this club, I tend to agree with them. If you are outgoing and make an effort to meet new people, you will have no problem meeting new friends at Club Sinday, but if you are an introvert, and would prefer for new friends to come introduce themselves to you, Club Sinday may prove to be a challenging venue.


Prices :

When compared to other clubs in the area, Club Sinday is on the higher end of the price spectrum. Membership must be renewed annually, and is fairly expensive at $70 for a couple. Nightly door fees are also more expensive than other clubs in the area, ranging from free for single women on Friday night, to $50 for a single man on Saturday night. While the prices are higher than other clubs, they are not so high as to prevent people from attending, and the higher prices do likely have an effect on the demographic of people visiting the club.

Overall Impression :

Club Sinday does a lot of things right, but there are also other areas where it could do things better. While the facilities are great, but the club is expensive. The other members are great if you can get to know them, but meeting new people can be really difficult. The location is good, but many people have other clubs that are closer to them. For the swinger who is able to to attend the club frequently enough to get to know the other members, and who is outgoing enough to introduce themselves to others, Club Sinday can be a great club. Alternatively, for the couple that is only able to get out every few months, the higher membership fees of Sinday and the Qlickey membership base can prove challenging, and they might find other clubs to be a better fit for their needs.

  3. My husband and I are interested but more from a Voyeurs standpoint and not really “in” the lifestyle. Would we be welcome at this club? We are both very social people and love talking and getting to know people but are not interested in sharing our spouse.
