Before you go
- Parking
Parking attendants are stationed outside in all weather until closing; use street parking on either side of Zion Street or the south side of Glendale Street, and single women are always walked to and from their cars.
- Arriving
Ring the doorbell at the locked entrance to gain entry; the club's own website says to call ahead (860-951-6243) if weather is sketchy.
- Privacy
Limited fully private play areas, but multiple shared spaces including a large communal bed downstairs and private rooms upstairs, plus the club's no-pressure ethos means you control your own comfort level.
- First visit
The club is explicitly newbie-friendly according to multiple reviewers; expect a membership fee plus door fee on your first visit, and plan to stay the full 5-hour window since coming and going repeatedly isn't practical.
- Dress code
One recent review notes that you should dress « as provocatively as you want »—the club encourages sexy attire, and themed nights feature suggested dress codes (daisy dukes and halter tops, leather, office wear, etc.).
- At the door
Members only; BYOB with a full-service bar area that checks in and labels your liquor (no coolers; maximum one 12-pack of beer or hard liquor bottles; no wine or beer storage between visits); mixers and setups provided at no cost.
- Facilities
Two large bathrooms with showers and floor-to-ceiling tiles, multiple play spaces downstairs (huge communal bed, sex swings, bondage table, bouncy bed, cage), upstairs private rooms with sex chairs, and a main bar level with dance floor.

About Leisure Time Club
Leisure Time is America's longest-running swinger club, now in its 49th year, housed in a converted residential building on a quiet Hartford street. The club spans three floors with a retro-luxe vibe: a circular leather-backed bar with a speak-easy atmosphere on the main level, multiple play spaces downstairs including a large communal bed, sex swings, bondage equipment and private rooms upstairs, plus clean shower facilities. Saturday nights (9 pm to 2 am) draw predominantly couples and single women aged 30s to early 50s from across New England, with a reputation for being genuinely welcoming to newcomers and maintaining a respectful, pressure-free atmosphere where people can explore at their own pace.
Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff led by owner Kevin, the quality of the music and dancing energy, and the well-maintained play areas that feel both exciting and safe. The club's three-story layout means there's always somewhere to go if you want intimacy or connection, while the circular bar acts as a natural gathering point for meeting familiar faces and newcomers alike. Recent renovations have refreshed the upstairs areas, and the club also hosts monthly Ladies Socials exclusively for women.
The main caveat is the unassuming exterior—reviewers describe the building as looking like a rundown house or beat-up frat house from the street, which can be off-putting at first glance. However, once inside, the gap between outside and inside is dramatic, and the club's 49-year track record speaks to its staying power. This is a solid, well-run venue for couples or single women ready for a genuine night out in the lifestyle.
- Who goes
- Mostly couples and single women, predominantly in their 30s to early 50s, from across New England, with a welcoming vibe for newcomers.
- How opinion has moved
- All recent reviews from 2025–2026 are enthusiastically positive (5 stars), with growing mentions of renovations and expanded events like Ladies Socials, suggesting the club is investing in its appeal.
What guests love
- The staff, especially owner Kevin, are consistently described as awesome, friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, making guests feel safe and cared for.
- The music and dance floor energy are praised as amazing, with a sexy vibe that draws people in and makes the whole experience feel alive.
- The play spaces, especially downstairs, are described as fun, varied, and liberating—reviewers single out the large communal bed, sex swings, sex chairs, and bouncy bed as highlights.
- The bar area has a retro-luxe « mafia bar » or « speak-easy » vibe with leather high-back barstools and a circular layout that naturally draws both new and familiar faces together, earning it the nickname « the Cheers of swinger bars ».
- The club is genuinely newbie-friendly and pressure-free, with a no-pressure atmosphere where couples and singles can explore at their own pace without feeling judged or pressured.
- Recent renovations have improved the upstairs areas and overall feel, making the whole three-story space feel like an « amazing funhouse » according to one reviewer.
What guests complain about
- The exterior of the building looks like a rundown house or beat-up frat house, which can be off-putting and almost intimidating at first glance.
- One reviewer noted that the club is not particularly LGBTQ+-friendly or gender-nonconforming-friendly, with a predominantly heteronormative atmosphere that may not welcome people in drag or exploring queer identities.
- Playroom attire enforcement appears inconsistent; one newcomer encountered fully clothed, drunk people in play areas who disrupted the vibe, suggesting rules may not be strictly applied every night.
- The club's private play areas are described as « limited », meaning couples may have less privacy than at some other venues.

Me and the wife love it .Kevin is a awesome guy along with the rest of staff. Always have a great time everytime we go.music is also amazing. I just wish I knew about this place long time ago. But from here on out this is where we will be .. we will be there tonight. Thank you..
We have been to quite a few clubs and hotel takeovers, but Leisuretime (LTs) is our go-to date night. “Why would we go to any other club?” It’s sexy, very sexy, with the vibe, the music, the bodies…everything. This place is legit, and we will be going for the rest of our lives! As of 10/9/26, the upstairs has now been renovated. And it makes the whole club, all three stories of it, feel like the MOST amazing funhouse…
We really enjoy Leisure time, the bar area gives speak easy vibes. The bartenders are always super friendly. There have been a good mix of people on the nights we’ve been. The downstairs play area is like something out of a movie.
Leisure Time(CT) Karizma(NJ) question about play room attire: Going to Leisure Time or Karizma with the wife. Are the playrooms strictly enforced "nude or towel only?" We just went to our first club and the playrooms a lot of people were fully clothed being drunk and loud killing any vibe to be had. Please send a DM if you're familiar with the club, have other questions.
Karizma no, Leisure Time yes. And i'm not sending a stranger dms for something like this.
Best club options for us?: Hello! My partner (31F) and I (30M) live in upstate New York (closer to Massachusetts) and are interested in visiting our first club this year, followed by hopefully more visits. We've discussed it and are ready to jump in! What are some good options for us? I'm aware of leisure time in CT, a few in Montreal, are there any others? Ideally one that has a decent population of bi or queer peop…
Absolutely great time every time. My wife gets to let loose and dress up sexy. The people there are friendly and make the experience wanting more
Leisure Time CT Unsettling Building Appearance: We just looked at the outside of the building and honestly it's really off putting. We're really hesitant to go there. Anyone have experience there? BTW We're new to the LS.
