Toronto’s X Club is part dance party, part sexy playground – and surprisingly classy for a place with a glory hole. Come for the music, stay for the play.
Tucked away in Mississauga just outside Toronto, The X Club and Mermaid Lounge form a dual-concept lifestyle venue offering both nightlife energy and spa-style sensuality. Whether you’re looking to mingle over cocktails, dance into the night, or indulge in a steamy sauna session before slipping into a clothing-optional pool, this members-only club delivers a polished, high-energy experience that manages to feel upscale without being pretentious.
By day and early evening, Mermaid Lounge operates as a sensual, spa-style playground complete with steam, showers, and playrooms. After dark on weekends, the venue transforms into The X Club – a dance-forward, flirt-heavy swingers club with strong drinks, sexy lighting, and group play behind closed doors (and sometimes not so closed). One location, two distinct vibes.
We dish on all this and more plus give lots of questionable newbie advice on the Vanilla Swingers podcast.

👀 First Impressions – The X Club is a private, members-only venue, like many swinger clubs. Once inside, the vibe is clean, organized, and clearly built for both comfort and fun. The front lobby includes check-in and lockers, and from there, guests can branch off toward the bar, the sports lounge, or deeper into the club.
PRO TIP: First Friday of the month is Newbie Night – arrive between 9–10 PM to skip the membership fee and score a discounted $80 membership. After 10? Full price applies, babes.
Dress code is enforced (no sneakers, t-shirts, hats and general bum wear), and the staff presence is noticeable in the best way. Ownership is hands-on and hospitality-focused, with the club owner often on-site checking in with guests and keeping things running smoothly. The atmosphere strikes a nice balance between social and sensual – and unlike some clubs, you won’t feel awkward just observing or easing in.

Oasis Aqualounge Review
🎟️ Inside Tour – The club’s layout is smart and intentional, creating zones for socializing, dancing, relaxing, and playing – without any of it feeling cramped or chaotic.
Lobby: Guest check-in and standard lockers.
Sports Lounge (Left Wing): A casual area with TVs, seating, and a photo booth. This is the only zone where phones are allowed.
Main Bar & Dance Floor (Right Wing): A sunken dance floor surrounded by raised seating, a U-shaped main bar, dance poles, and a DJ booth. VIP sections above can be reserved for private groups or birthday events.
Mermaid Lounge (Back): A stylish, newly renovated space with a second bar, signature cocktails, and access to the play areas. On midweek event nights, this lounge operates as its own self-contained venue.
Whether you’re looking to sip cocktails, flirt, dance, or disappear into a private room, you’ll know exactly where to go.
🎵 DJ/Dance – The X Club doesn’t just have a bar – it has two. The main bar, located by the dance floor, serves wine, beer, cocktails, and shots with fast, friendly service. Then there’s the Mermaid Lounge bar, where the real cocktail lovers will want to go. Specialty drinks like espresso martinis are made to order (no gross pre-mix here), and pricing is surprisingly reasonable for a lifestyle venue. Bottle service is also available and fairly priced, making it a popular option for groups celebrating.
It’s worth noting that The X Club is fully licensed. That means no BYOB. If you want to drink, you’ll be buying it onsite. But with prices better than many city clubs and bartenders who remember your order, most guests find that to be a win.
💡 PRO TIP: Legal drinking age in Canada is 19 — but entry age is 21+ to X Club.
🌊 Mermaid Lounge: Pool & Spa – The X Club’s newest upgrade is a game-changer – a year-round heated outdoor pool that transforms the venue from club night to indulgent bathhouse bliss. Launched in August 2025, this area invites guests to slip into something less comfortable (aka nothing at all) and experience the lifestyle in a whole new way.
Slip into a world designed for connection, relaxation, and indulgence. This adults-only, new-age bathhouse blends sophistication with sensuality, offering more than just a dip in the pool. You’ll find a heated clothing-optional outdoor pool, steam shower & Himalayan salt sauna, group glass shower, as well as numerous playrooms and kink rooms.

Club M4 Toronto Review
🍒 Playrooms – Playrooms at The X Club are accessed through the Mermaid Lounge and divided into two main zones – a private play section (where clothing is optional) and a larger open play area that requires guests to be lingerie, towels, or less. You’re welcome to move between both areas, but the dress code is enforced – no streetwear or outerwear once you’re in the zone.
The private section includes closed-door rooms, a dedicated kink room, and lockers for your convenience. The open area features multiple beds, couches, and a voyeur-friendly setup with great sightlines. By default, the open play area is reserved for couples and single women on Friday and Saturday nights – except for Freaky Friday (the last Friday of each month), which is the only night single men are allowed in the open space.
🔥 Vibe check – The energy at The X Club leans social and dance-driven, with a younger-leaning, nightlife-adjacent crowd on weekends. Friday nights tend to be slower and more relaxed (think 80–100 people), while Saturdays bring bigger numbers and a buzzier atmosphere. The dance floor is lively and the crowd is well-dressed.
Guests range from early 20s to 50s+, a little older than their Oasis counterparts. Some nights bring out a more mature crowd, but there’s rarely a fratty or creepy vibe. Most couples keep to themselves unless invited in, and consent culture is strongly upheld.
✅ Should you go? – If you’re into nightclub energy with real lifestyle play, sleek playrooms, strong cocktails, and a little flirty dancing before getting dirty, The X Club—and its spa-style counterpart, Mermaid Lounge—is absolutely worth a visit. That said, it’s not for everyone – if loud music kills your vibe, or if you’re a solo guy expecting guaranteed action, this may not be your scene. But for those craving a sexy, high-energy night out near Toronto, this dual-concept venue delivers.
