So, through a funny Twitter-based happenstance (those seem to happen pretty often), we got invited to Miami Velvet to check it out. For those that do not know, Miami Velvet is an on-site swinger’s club. That may bring up some pretty interesting ideas, but it really is not like one might think. Actually, it is probably also good for folks not in the “lifestyle” for a variety of reasons, but only for the open-minded. Note that Soul Of Miami neither supports nor condemns the swinging lifestyle. This iThe first thing to know is that they are very strict at the door. Usually it is only couples and single ladies, but they do let in single men sometimes. And, the dress code is pretty strict. Second, the “on-site” portion of the club is completely sectioned off from the regular dance-floor area. The regular area can get risque, but is not much different than any other nightclub.
One of the big differences is that, if you are a woman, you are LESS likely to get unwanted groping here than at a regular club. They are very serious about the ladies being in charge and no means no. Any unwanted attention and a bouncer comes to stop it fast. Tired of getting groped in nightclubs, ladies? Come to Miami Velvet. Ironic, isn’t it?
It is also a Bring Your Own Bottle club. So, clubbing here is generally less expensive than most big clubs. They provide all the mixers and mixologists for free. Yes, free. You just bring your own bottle of your favorite alcohol. They do sometimes have some pretty hefty cover charges, but within a similar range of what you might find elsewhere around town.
We did tour the back rooms, where you can get frisky, if you would like, before they were in use. They have both private rooms and public room, depending on what you like. This certainly is not for everyone, but, as mentioned, it is completely out of site of the main area. Oh, and they have a kitchen! So, if you work up an appetite, no need to even leave the club.
This really is not the crazy, “anything-goes” club that most people think it is. In the main area, you can catch people making out, maybe the occasional breast or something, but little more than you will find in a regular club. It is safer than a regular club for women who do not want to be groped. It is at least as clean and well-kempt as any other big club. And, you can always be guaranteed a decent guy-girl ratio and a well-dressed crowd. If you are feeling a little adventurous, it might be worth checking out, but that is entirely up to you!}

Many Miami Velvet members enjoy this aspect of the club and have been known to report: “It’s amazing how much I save by bringing my bottle to MV versus drinking in a nightclub on South Beach…â€
