The Columbus lifestyle & swinger scene: a local guide.

Ohio's directory lists two lifestyle clubs, both in Columbus: Club Princeton and Ohana's Social Club. Princeton pairs private membership with themed event nights; Ohana's offers a members-only BYOB house-party format on the south side. Compare their recorded formats and membership steps, then confirm the chosen night on each club's official site.

What Columbus is actually like.

Columbus is the local-club anchor for the Ohio city pages. Club Princeton's record emphasizes themed members' events and attire notes on individual listings. Ohana's Social Club is a three-story house-party venue with a dance floor, private rooms and outdoor space. Westerville, Dublin and Dayton each point toward these Columbus venues in their city records; those pages do not add clubs in the reader's own city. Start with the location and format, then check the venue's calendar before planning a visit.

Columbus lists two established membership clubs — a dressed-up themed-night venue and a BYOB house-party club — serving Ohio's capital.

Clubs and resorts in and around Columbus.

Every venue below was checked against public sources as real and currently operating. We describe each one honestly — including where reviews are mixed — and link the official site instead of a stale address.

What we don't publish: street addresses, phone numbers and venue event calendars. The directory links each venue's official site instead, because that is the only place to confirm the night you are buying, the door rules attached to it, and how to get there.

The formats, side by side.

Two clubs with different formats: Club Princeton's themed event nights and Ohana's BYOB house parties. The directory describes each as a private-membership club. Princeton's application approval is a specific planning step; Ohana's record adds a twenty-one-plus basis and relaxed clothing guidance. Read the individual requirements before choosing a night.

Neither Ohio entry is marked closed. Both venue records carry an August 2026 operational review; that is the date of the recorded official-site information, not a fresh check of tonight's calendar. Confirm current membership, event details and house rules with each club. Use the official sites for directions; the directory does not publish street addresses.

Before you go, venue by venue.

What each venue publishes about a first visit, what to wear and what to budget. These are the directory's own notes for each venue, not a summary of them — follow the venue name for the full profile.

  • Club Princeton

    If this is your first visit
    Sort membership out online first — the club's membership page says applicants must be approved before arriving — then pick a themed night, dress to the theme, and go as a couple.
    What to wear
    The club posts attire notes on its own event listings — its calendar has carried lines like "Cowboy & Cowgirl Attire Requested", and one recent night's listing carried a "Sexy but social" dress-code note. Check the listing for the night you pick.

    Operational details were last checked August 2026.

  • Ohana's Social Club

    If this is your first visit
    The house-party format rewards social couples. Join online first, bring your own bottle, pick a themed night, and be upfront that you are new.
    What to wear
    The club's own guidance is unusually relaxed for the scene: jeans, shorts, and collared shirts are acceptable, dirty or torn clothing is not, themes are encouraged, and women can bring outfit changes. Dress comfortably and to the night's theme.

Columbus, answered.

Where are the clubs covered by this Ohio guide?

Club Princeton and Ohana's Social Club are listed in Columbus, with Ohana's on the south side. These are the Ohio directory's two clubs, not a statewide census of private events. The Ohio city pages cover Columbus, Westerville, Dublin and Dayton, but use the same Columbus venues as their anchors.

What must happen before arriving at Club Princeton?

Princeton's own membership page says applicants must complete an application and receive approval before arriving, according to its record reviewed in August 2026. Choose an event from the club's calendar and confirm the current approval process directly. The record does not establish a separate guest or visitor policy.

What makes Ohana's a house-party format?

The August 2026 record describes the club's own house-party format in a three-story venue: a dance floor with a pole, five private rooms, a semi-private space, showers and outdoor space. Its own materials describe a casual, relaxed members-only club. That format differs from Princeton's emphasis on dressed-up themed nights; neither description establishes who will attend a particular event.

Which Columbus listing specifies BYOB and a minimum age?

Ohana's official-site information, recorded with an August 2026 review, describes a bring-your-own-bottle, twenty-one-plus basis. Confirm its current drink and entry rules directly. This guide does not extend Ohana's rules to Club Princeton: the Princeton record does not document the same drink policy or minimum age.

How do Princeton's event themes affect clothing choices?

Club Princeton's official site publishes event-specific attire guidance, according to the August 2026 record, including a cowboy-and-cowgirl theme and a separate social dress-code note. Read the listing for the night you choose rather than treating a past theme as a standing dress code. Membership approval and the event's attire guidance are separate things to check.

Does Ohana's require formal clothing for its parties?

Its own guidance, recorded in August 2026, allows jeans, shorts and collared shirts, excludes dirty or torn clothing, encourages themes and allows women to bring outfit changes. Confirm the specific event on the official site before choosing what to wear; these recorded rules are not a newly checked policy for every future party.

How should Westerville and Dublin readers use this guide?

Their existing city pages point to Club Princeton and Ohana's in Columbus. Use those pages for the local context, then compare the Columbus profiles here and check each official calendar. The city records classify Westerville and Dublin as trips to the metro, so a city-page link does not mean either club is located in those suburbs.

Why does the Dayton page direct readers to Columbus clubs?

Dayton's existing city record says it has no established on-premise club and points to Club Princeton and Ohana's in Columbus. Its page treats those nights as planned occasions. This guide adds no Dayton venue or independent party schedule; the clubs' own calendars and entry requirements remain the sources for planning a visit.
