Before you go
- Parking
Street parking is available across the street from the venue; rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is recommended as the club is not close to other amenities.
- Arriving
RSVP on the club's website for the event you wish to attend; the club's own website emphasizes the need to reserve in advance.
- Privacy
Private rooms have closing and locking doors rather than curtains, and staff clean rooms after each use; voyeuristic viewing areas are also available on the second floor.
- First visit
The club's own website describes it as a no-pressure environment, and reviewers specifically mention it is welcoming to newcomers and described as judgement-free.
- At the door
Entry rules vary by event; Saturday couples-only nights exclude single men, while other nights allow select single men and single women.
- Facilities
Two floors with bar and dance floor downstairs, private rooms and group play areas upstairs, lockers for street clothes, bathrooms on both floors, and showers; the club's own website notes its thoughtfully designed premises with privacy and comfort in mind.

About Caligula

Caligula is a private swinger club in Astoria, Queens, housed in a two-floor venue designed specifically for couples, single women, and select single men. The club's own website describes it as an upscale, no-pressure social space where people can connect and explore freely with discretion and respect. A typical night involves dancing and socializing on the first floor around a bar and dance pole, with private and group play areas on the second floor featuring multiple rooms and showers.
The venue works best for established lifestyle enthusiasts and first-timers alike who want a judgement-free atmosphere. Many reviewers praise the cleanliness, friendly staff, and welcoming energy, particularly at themed parties and weekend couples-only events. However, recent reviews note that the main floor lacks visual excitement and could use updated décor and technology, and some guests report discomfort with phone use during visits.
- Who goes
- Couples of various ages (typically 30s to 50s), single women, and on some nights select single men; mostly local New York attendees.
- How opinion has moved
- Opinion has remained broadly positive over the club's history, though recent 2026 reviews express frustration with the venue's aging décor and lack of investment in updates, compared to praise from earlier years for its cleanliness and friendly atmosphere.
What guests love
- The cleanliness of the space is consistently praised, with multiple reviewers noting the venue is spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
- Staff members, especially bartenders and playroom attendants, are described as friendly, chill, accommodating, and professional without being judgmental.
- The second floor private and semi-private rooms with proper closing doors, along with the open voyeuristic play areas, receive specific praise for their design and setup.
- Themed events like Halloween and New Year's Eve parties, as well as glow parties and DJ performances, are highlighted as particularly energetic and fun.
- The overall atmosphere is described as a no-pressure, judgment-free zone where first-timers and experienced lifestyle participants feel comfortable and welcomed.
- The venue successfully fosters a party vibe with respectful, sexy, and social people who come ready to have fun and make new connections.
What guests complain about
- The main first-floor dance area lacks visual excitement and modern décor, with reviewers noting the need for updated technology, screens, and advertising displays.
- Some guests reported discomfort with other attendees using phones throughout the venue rather than only in designated smoke areas, affecting the overall experience.
- One review mentioned aggressive security enforcement on the second floor that discouraged guests from lingering in viewing areas despite having paid entry.
- Recent reviews suggest the venue has not invested sufficiently in updates and improvements, particularly compared to its earlier reputation.
- A small number of reviews describe the place as dirty and disgusting, though these appear to be outliers compared to the majority praising cleanliness.
- One guest felt the cover charge did not align with the service and experience provided on the night they attended, citing poor hospitality.

This place need an update main floor has no excitement to say wow factor, the stage is pointless…need to invest in technology tv screen with playing advertisements for the club…the bar is alright…as for the second floor it’s still small but they made adjustments for sure…don’t care about the smoke area…Halloween/NYE PARTIES are 🔥🔥🔥 beside all that Jimmy need to step up provide a good experience. I remember this place…
An ugly, terrible place. The guests are unpleasant, the hospitality is awful, and they charge exorbitant prices—with no refunds if you change your mind. Don’t go there; the place is terrible! Everything is dirty and disgusting.
