What does BYOB Club (Bottle Club) mean?

Reviewed November 10, 2026

A BYOB club (bring your own bottle) is an on-premise lifestyle venue where guests bring their own alcohol rather than buying liquor by the glass, often due to local licensing laws governing adult clubs.

Across many US states, adult on-premise clubs operate as private BYOB or bottle clubs rather than holding a retail liquor license, because state alcohol regulations restrict nudity or adult play spaces inside licensed bars. Guests bring their own bottle to check with an attendant or pour station, while the venue supplies ice, cups, water, and non-alcoholic mixers.

Each BYOB venue sets specific rules on bottle sizes, glass containers, cooler bags, and bartender Pour/check-in tags, and some charge a separate setup or locker fee alongside membership and event entry.

Always verify current BYOB rules, hours, and membership lead times on the venue's official website before visiting, and pace drinks so sober consent stays clear throughout the night.

New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
