Fort Lauderdale, AKA the “Venice of Florida,” isn’t just a city or destination; it’s a veritable lifestyle. Nestled right in the heart of this vibrant LGBTQ+ hub is an institution that, for the past 19 years, has been entirely unapologetic for what it brings to this community: 321 SLAMMER. This club is a cornerstone of the Wilton Manors nightlife scene; it’s gritty, it’s social, and it’s a piece of queer history that continues to thrive.
Part private club, part bathhouse, the Slammer is a unique space for sex, connection and relaxation. Whether you’re a local regular or just visiting Fort Lauderdale for the weekend, it’s a must-visit place.
One of the things that sets 321 apart from many other sex clubs is that it’s BYOB. That’s, right, you can bring your own booze! 321 is a private club and they will store your bottle for you at the bar. Unlike most other sex clubs (or strip joints, for that mat) you can enjoy your favorite adult beverage at 321…that is, if you bring it! 321 Slammer has a Bottle Club license, not a Liquor license, and does not sell alcoholic beverages.
What To Do
- Bring your own alcoholic beverages – Beer, wine, spirits, and mixed drinks in original, sealed containers
- Check your items in at the front window – You will be given a label that must be given to bartenders along with your beverages immediately upon entering the club
- Purchase non-alcoholic beverages and snacks – A variety of sodas, juices, water, and flavored seltzers are available to purchase. Chips, snacks, candies and cookies are available as well.
- The club does have bartenders, and really, really encourage you to tip them!
What Not To Do
- Bring non-alcoholic beverages – Water, soda, mixers, etc. because the club sells those
- Share or sell alcohol – Do not provide drinks to other members or sell your beverages
The amenities are what make the Slammer a great place to put your mobile phone away and get physical with other guys in a comfortable social environment. Not just a maze of hallways, it’s a multi-functional facility designed for comfort and exploration. So what’s inside?
- Play Areas: From themed zones to open spaces, the layout is designed to facilitate whatever level of social interaction you’re looking for.
- The Lounge: A spot to grab a soda, catch a movie on the big screens, and socialize with other members in a more relaxed, low-pressure setting.
- Private Rooms & Lockers: You can opt for a simple locker to stash your gear or upgrade to a private room if you’re looking for a dedicated space to retreat.
Privacy is paramount at 321, so no cameras, mobile phones or any recording devices are allowed. So when you go there, chill out and have sex!
