Broward swingers’ club won’t be allowed to relocate west

TAMARAC — One of Broward’s most well-known swingers’ clubs won’t be allowed to relocate farther west in Tamarac, where it wanted to open in a shopping plaza off a major corridor.

Tamarac city officials have declined to hear an appeal from the lawyers for the Trapeze swingers’ club, who had argued it could move into a new location without city permission because it fell under the category of a “dance hall and social club.”

But city officials said it had to follow the rules of an “adult entertainment business” — something the business says it’s not.

Now it’s off the table.

Tamarac city officials said a gymnastics academy will be moving into 6830 N. University Drive instead. The storefront recently was most notably the home to a Jump A Roos, an indoor inflatable children’s playground.

When asked if there would be other plans to move, Trapeze club co-owner Alan Mostow responded on Facebook: “Yes of course.”

He declined to elaborate.

The bring-your-own-alcohol club is located at 5213 N. State Road 7 in Tamarac, just north of Commercial Boulevard and east of Florida’s Turnpike. It features a lounge area, an area for undressing and a “swing area.”

The location Trapeze was trying to move into was across the street from the Concord Village condos and backed up to Vanguard Village 15. Furious residents had complained to City Hall, one of them emailing: “How many of their customers would park in the back of the business, perhaps so their car won’t be recognized up front, & maybe continue their ‘business’ in the park?”
