We’re not talking strip clubs, and we don’t mean a sleazy club in some creepy basement where strangers rub up on you. These bars will give you a truly adult drinking experience that will leave you feeling in the mood—not like you need a shower immediately. Here, the actually sexiest bars in the country.

Adults Only, Los Angeles

Although this speakeasy in a strip mall keeps a low profile, you’ll know it by its video store facade—because nowhere else will you find a video rental in this day and age. Inside, past the neon Adults Only sign, and through the curtain, you’ll find a hidden craft cocktail bar. Decorated with vintage movie posters and VHS tapes (of all types of cinema, not just the dirty stuff), the bar is a great place to relax with a cheeky cocktail (like a Rusty Trombone made with tequila, lime, basil and white pepper grapefruit syrup, or a Money Shot, which is a Boilermaker with a shot of Fernet Branca) as you take in a cult classic on the bar’s projector. Perfect for a romantic(ish) evening out.

Garden of Eden, Key West

The view as you walk into this Key West rooftop bar might make your jaw drop, and not because of the surrounding scenery. Garden of Eden is entirely clothing optional. Perched above both The Bull and the Whistle Bar, this watering hole is a nudist oasis hiding in plain view. Work your way up to the roof by starting with suggestive cocktails at Whistle Bar like the Panty Dropper and Knock Me Naked, then head upstairs for some unencumbered relaxation. The bar even offers body painting, should you wish to take full advantage of your natural canvas.

The Country Club, New Orleans

Far from the highly-commercialized adventures you can have on Bourbon Street, buried in a nondescript colonial mansion in the Bywater neighborhood, sits The Country Club, a bar/restaurant/pool hang. Despite the name, you won’t find golf shirts and pressed slacks at the clothing-optional pool, where you can sip a Country Club Lemonade (Absolut Citron, mint, basil, lemon) as you people watch. Oh, and did we mention there’s a drag show during Saturday brunch?

Twisted Spoke, Chicago

This biker bar is pretty nonchalant 95 percent of the time, but come Saturday night it turns into the sexiest watering hole in town when the weekly Smut and Eggs program begins. Beginning at midnight, the bar shows hardcore porn to all in attendance and serves their entire brunch menu. That includes brunch cocktails like their custom Bloodies, which you will definitely need if you’re set on watching a dirty movie from the ‘70s with a room full of strangers.

Club Sinz, Boston

Blurring the line between dance club and sex club, Club Sinz skirts Massachusetts laws prohibiting actual swingers clubs. The club doesn’t have any “party” rooms, like swingers clubs in other cities, but it’s still a gathering place for couples interested in getting to know other couples…intimately. Drinks lead to some intense dancing as everyone gets to know each other, before retiring to hotels nearby.

This high end bar and restaurant broils with Roaring ‘20s style, making it the ideal place to get throwback sexy in your Friday best. After sampling Prohibition-era cocktails and modern craft creations, head to the attached theater for their famous burlesque shows from The Moonlight Dolls troupe, which performs there every weekend—think flappers getting frisky in giant coupes, scantily clad aerialists and classic fan dances galore.

The Trestle Inn, Philadelphia

The free love of the ‘60s may be gone, but you can relive the glory days of the sexual revolution at this whiskey bar. Though the space used to be a pretty dingy strip club, you can now get loose with their serious craft spirits collection and decent cocktails, as you admire the go-go dancers in vintage outfits shakin’ it up on stage blocks throughout the room.
