| Attended the V2V night at Libs last night, as our first time at the club. It wasn't for us - which is fine, not everywhere is going to be!
Pro's
Much bigger than the floorplan & pictures on the site lead you to believe.
Very clean and well maintained
Nice staff
Did not make us become members on our first visit (saving £45!)
We met and chatted to a few lovely people!
Con's
Most of the place feels like a rowdy bar.
Nobody seems to play around anywhere except the engine room or private rooms - making most of the club feel pretty un-sexy.
Lots of bottlenecks in the layout.
Weird elevator style music.
Also - Busy! Really very busy. Made the locker rooms hell. No space to play after 12 if you were kinda new. It did not feel like a night for newbie types.
The 'germans putting towels on the deck chairs' going on in the engine room was weird too. Yes, it was a busy night. But we noticed a couple of couples had grabbed a bed early, and never left it - whilst they chatted for a few hours!
As a couple who have been to Xtasia a few times, we found the separation of 'play' area and the rest of the club jarring. Genuinely found the first hour or two just confused as to what was going on. Everyone was in the bar, and nobody was doing anything. Suddenly, around 12, the bar emptied, all the beds & room were rammed, and there was nowhere to do anything.
Overall, wasn't a great night for us - but not every night out is! Not the fault of the club, just a mis-match of it and us :)
