Vanilla Swingers – A swinger podcast for newbies, by newbies in the lifestyle
Welcome to Miami Velvet – where the dress code is minimal, the vibes are maximal, and the whole place feels like a warehouse rave that took a very sexy turn. Tucked away in the industrial outskirts of Miami, this BYOB swingers club is part nightclub, part spa, part play palace, and 100% Miami. It’s gritty, it’s loud, it’s gloriously chaotic—and somehow, it works. Whether you’re here to dance, mingle, or dive headfirst into the Jacuzzi with strangers, Miami Velvet is a choose-your-own-adventure kind of night… preferably in heels and very little else.
Join Kat & Leo as they dish up swinger club reviews and lots of questionable newbie advice on the Vanilla Swingers podcast.

👀 First Impressions – Pull up to Miami Velvet and your GPS thinks you’re headed for a warehouse district. Inside, you step into a playground packed with erotic art, pulsing beats, and a promise of late‑night escapades. First‑timers rave about the freedom to explore and no‑judgment atmosphere, and the club delivers on that raw, adventurous energy.
🎟️ Inside Tour – Step through the unassuming warehouse entrance and you’re thrust into a sprawling, 20,000 sq ft playground of erotic possibility. Velvet’s layout is purposefully chaotic—in the best way. The entrance spills into a cavernous main room scattered with plush lounge seating, stripper poles, and walls covered in bold erotic art. This warehouse-sized main room is anchored by a sprawling dance floor surrounded by booths, side tables, and red velvet lounges. Wrap-around seating allows for people-watching, flirty conspiracies, or a quick rest between pole breaks. Yep, there are stripper poles – and they’re in play.
The BYOB bar serves as Miami’s most laid-back VIP lounge. Bring your drink, stash it in the locker, check your bottles with a numbered wristband, and you’re good to sip at the bar or spill onto the dance floor. Note: Velvet encourages play anywhere – just don’t expect cozy temps. We found it kinda chilly, and the music is loud enough that whispered sentences feel ambitious.
Off to the side, you’ll find a smaller pool room – a sly blend of chill and mingle. It felt like Velvet’s unofficial first-date spot, where you test your flirt before committing to the steam-overheated heart of the club.
🥂 Bar – Forget paying inflated liquor prices—Miami Velvet is true BYOB. Bring your favorite bottle, they’ll supply cups, mixers, and ice. Extra props to their alcohol check-in system (numbered wristbands to match bottles). It’s efficient, fun, and a little cheeky—exactly how Velvet rolls. On the downside, the staff, while friendly, can be uneven. You might score a flawless cocktail handoff…or leave thirsty while the barkeep ignores you. The system works if the team does.
🎵 DJ / Danceclub – In the center stands the dance floor – pulsing LEDs, pole performers, and a DJ spinning sets that crescendo into sweaty ecstasy. This isn’t just any club – it’s a Miami club, which means Latin beats, reggaeton drops, and bachata rhythms that slide under your skin and make it impossible to stand still. The vibe is pure Latino heat – hips don’t lie, and neither do the moans floating in from the back rooms. Bodies collide, salsa hips swirl, and the crowd rides the beat like it’s foreplay. It’s gritty, loud, and totally electric – the kind of night where Spanish whispers in your ear can melt your inhibitions right off. (Especially Kat!)
🍒 Playrooms – Once you’re in Velvet’s play zone, there’s no half-measures. Everyone must disrobe down to a towel (OR LESS) and use a locker before stepping into any play area. Want to check things out with your lingerie on? Tough luck. It’s naked or towel-wrapped, even if you’re just strolling past the steam rooms. Once you’re in, you’ll find a mix of curtained-off nooks and exposed spaces meant for exhibition. The action centers around steamy Jacuzzi corners and small play caves – expect public hookups and spontaneous encounters alike.
The group space pulses with voyeur energy, while the private rooms offer more low-key hookups – though don’t expect luxury. Thin mattresses and underwhelming décor mar what should be a rocking good club – after all this is Miami! As for the VIP rooms? Let’s just say they’re VIP in name only. A stained couch, a dusty pole, and a lock you can’t even control? Sexy in theory, not so much in practice.
🔥 Vibe Check – Miami Velvet pulses with Miami heat – bold, chaotic, and sometimes unpredictable. Couples and single women are the focus, every night except Friday. Single men can join on Fridays for a pretty penny but beware, like other South Florida clubs (Trapeze), some show up way too pushy. You’ll see them crowding in, groping, unable to read the room.
For respectful guys, it’s a fine space to connect. But those who show up with overzealous energy? They’re quickly shown the exit. Expect a mid-30s to 50s stylish crowd who come to play, not paw. It’s real, it’s raw, and for couples looking to explore together, Velvet delivers, if you can dodge the creepers.
✅ Would we go back? – Absolutely, especially on a Saturday. It’s messy, chaotic, and intoxicating in a way that clean swingers clubs can’t replicate. Just don’t expect velvet rope or glam decor. Bring your own bottle, your curiosity, and maybe some earplugs.
⭐⭐⭐ PRO TIP – Skip Fridays if you’re a couple not into twitchy single guys – Friday nights attract the pushy crowd, and the vibe shifts.
