Both are great! They have really good facilities. VA is a bit bigger.  .
Both have paying bars.
VA has a huge hot tub that you can swim in unless it’s packed!
Both have facilities to stay but maybe booked up already. Liberty elite had a refurb on their accommodation |

"VA hot tub may be bigger....but it's far from hot. More luke warm lol.
Libs is smaller but by God it's hot!"
We set the hot tub at The Vanilla Alternative at about 36°C. That's warm enough to feel comfortable but not too hot to restrict your time in there before you feel light headed. |

"We're looking for a night out at a club this Saturday. We're looking for an 'upmarket' type of place. What options are available what can you recommend within the Midlands? "

See what events take your fancy, both are large and south of the Midlands. Purple Mamba is selective on membership, has an intimate atmosphere and in a fabulous location, within Nottingham. This Saturday is a Kinksters Soirée evening which always delights. |

Well it doesn't feel warm enough. I was going blue last time lol. And that's where a lot of the fun takes place....so shame it's not a bit warmer;)
However, not having loads of chlorine in it is a good plus point;) |

Both similar clubs. Very nice decor and upmarket. VA had a bigger hot tub but doesn't have any private areas, everything is public. Libs has a good mix of everything, not quite as big hot tub but downstairs and upstairs private rooms plus communal areas.
Both places have a relaxed atmosphere where you can sit around the bar/lounge and enjoy a drink from licensed bars.
Our preference is Libs. It seems to have the edge on upmarket atmosphere and there are rooms you can use that are private, sonit caters for newcomers and seasoned players all. |

Agree with this, Liberty has the edge, a good mix of open play areas and closed rooms too, VA 15 mins from ours, Liberty 75 mins away, been to Liberty 10 times more than VA |

V.A. is classy and great facilities. Great owner and great young crowed. V.A. is newer too so less outdated with decor. The hot tub at VA doesn’t sting your eyes. Drinks reasonable price!
Libs has a good lay out and is nice and clean. Libs hot tub is very hot and gives off a lot of Chlorine or Bromine - which ever they use. Some times the play room is unbearable. Drinks are pricey but premium spirits!
Best go check both out for yourself and have you own opinions |

"Drinks are pricey but premium spirits!"
You would only consider Libs drinks pricey if you usually drink in working men’s clubs, the drinks at Libs are on average less than many of the pubs in the local area. |

There’s nothing wrong with ‘working’ men’s clubs! |

You could try Xtasia or Chams. Both different - chams is very nicely decorated and relaxing. Xtasia has huge dance floor and usually very good DJ’s And has lots of play areas.
Try them all out is my advice. Each club offered something different  hope you have fun |

You must be a delicate flower the temperature is perfect for us... However the showers at VA haven’t worked properly since we started going there 8 months ago. It’s a standing joke for the regulars tbh if they did fix them we’d be lost.
OP asked for the classier venue, no question Libs is classier (soft white cotton sheets etc) but was a bit too hardcore for us  when we went. |

If you run an event at a venue. I think you’ll always be a little bias towards this venue.
Both establishments are totally spot on in my opinion and I couldn’t want for better clubs.
We love going to both.
I’ve never experienced any issues with either hot tub and can’t say I’ve noticed others having any issues either.
Maybe I’m staying to neutral in my opinion. But for us. Check out both. You’ll love them |

We love both clubs and if you get chance, try them both. They both hold some amazing events but also have some lovely chilled out nights.
We usually find people choose one over the other due to the distance they have to travel and not which is best.
We’re also little surprised someone who enjoys a refind, elegant and classy night would be moaning over the price of drinks  |

Hardcore in what way?"
The couples night we went to was quite “formal” in terms of couples pairing up and swapping, as opposed to softer group play which we prefer. We’ve seen comments on here about Liberty being for real players (in a good sense) rather than the nervous nellies. |
