 | We have been going to Xtasia for years - long before the current owners bought it. We liked going there (back then) because it was one of the few places in the U.K. that was Night Club themed and had a full bar service. That said, it had its down sides - walking down an alleyway past a public house, furnishings within the Club that were 1970’s vintage and highly questionable music choices (think Smooth FM lol)
The current owners have made the most astonishing changes to Xtasia, not least by buying the public house and making it a part of the whole Xtasia experience. Buying the public house has enabled the whole access to be made more private and the facilities now include a pub, fetish venue and hotel rooms!
Whilst acquiring the Pub may have been the largest of the changes, there have been plenty more. Wholesale changes inside the Club included getting rid of the old furniture around the dance floor, installing a dogging atea, a hot tub, female glory holes and much, much more. The shell of the Club may be the same but the fabric of it is completely different.
I would struggle to find anything that the current owners have done that is anything but a positive change and the great thing is that they are approachable and like sponges when it comes to listening to new ideas and suggestions.
I get it that everyone has personal preferences and opinions but we have been going to this Club for about 12 years and we have seen nothing but massive improvements and changes for the positive. We have attended on fairly quiet nights and we have attended on nights where there have been upwards of 400 people including, the now legendary Danny Rampling, DPraved event.
Some people may prefer smaller, intimate or sauna based venues but credit must be given to the way that Xtasia has evolved since the current owners took over. We go to other Clubs but Xtasia remains special for us because of the commitment of the owners to constantly improve. Their enthusiasm and their character is reflected in the Club and in all of the staff who work there.
