The Riverside Club is West Virginia's longest-running on-premise lifestyle club, located in Hogsett. Owner Steve runs it with a hands-on approach, personally welcoming guests, giving tours, and making sure everyone feels safe and respected. Nights vary: some are quieter with just a handful of people, others busier with dancing, theme parties, and a relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere where boundaries are clearly respected.
The club suits couples exploring the lifestyle for the first time as much as experienced regulars. Steve's attentiveness to comfort and consent—especially his protective approach toward single women—is what keeps people coming back. Many reviewers praise the genuine friendliness of the community and the ease of connecting with like-minded people.
Reviews are mostly enthusiastic (24 five-star ratings out of 29), though a few visitors dislike the dingy appearance and feel the vibe isn't for them. The overall picture is of a welcoming, unpretentious venue where the owner's care for his guests matters more than polished décor.
- Who goes
- Mix of couples (some first-timers, some regulars) and single women; mostly locals from West Virginia and Ohio, ranging from their mid-30s upward.
- How opinion has moved
- Strong positive trend since 2023, with first-timers consistently praising their experience and returning; the few recent one-star reviews cite the same long-standing complaints about appearance and atmosphere that were noted years ago.
What guests love
- Steve's genuine care and attentiveness makes first-timers feel immediately welcome and comfortable.
- The atmosphere emphasizes consent, respect for boundaries, and protection of single women from harassment.
- Guests consistently praise the friendly, laid-back community and the ease of meeting like-minded people.
- Theme parties and dancing nights create fun, social occasions beyond just the lifestyle aspect.
- The club's no-expectations policy means you can attend, socialize, and participate at your own pace.
- Couples returning multiple times report strong friendships forming and a sense of belonging.
What guests complain about
- The venue itself is described as dingy, dark, and in need of updating by several reviewers.
- Crowd quality can be inconsistent; some visitors felt the attendees on their night were unappealing.
- A few reviewers found the atmosphere weird or felt the owner came across as overbearing.
- Slow nights with only a handful of guests can feel underwhelming compared to busier events.
- The long drive from some parts of Ohio makes repeat visits a commitment for out-of-state couples.

Friends now: This place seemed a little sketchy to me when I first showed up. But after the grand tour and meeting some of the nicest people in West Virginia, I’ve been back three other times and I’ve had a blast every time. Thank you everyone I’ve met there. I’m off to the next location.
I’m a 35 y/o 6’1 skinny male of decent looks, would I be allowed to enjoy the club or, like some clubs, would I need to be accompanied by a female?
Been several times over the years. Always the same. Dark and dingy. They seem to cater to the wrong crowd for my taste. There are about 5% that carry themselves better. Went this last weekend after about 2 years. 5 people not counting us. All of them pretty icky. It felt sleazy. Left early. Will not be back. We’ve given them enough opportunities and money. The drive to Cincinnati is worth it for us.
We have been going to the Riverside Club for about 8 months now and always have a great time! Very laid back and no expectations from anyone. Steve is a great guy and owner and truly cares about his patrons! I love theme parties and dancing so I'm one to always dress for the occasion and have a blast with some great people we've met! Try it out for yourself...I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do!!! BYOB
As someone who was seeking the curiosity of this lifestyle. Steve made it such an easy and comfortable atmosphere for my first experience! I was impressed with the professionalism in which he operated his business. I highly recommend checking this place out!
The Riverside Club of WV was super fun, we went on what ended up being a slow night but it was still a lot of fun. Steve showed us around, explained expectations and I could tell he made sure that everyone there felt safe and accepted. Fun evening with super chill and kind people.
Had a great time hanging out with cool people, it was my first time going and I really wanna go back.
The location is rather dingy, the owner comes across as overbearing and it feels weird there. I've been several years ago and more recently and it has not improved.
