4.5/5
Sexy. Polished. Surprising. And honestly? One of the best-run lifestyle venues we’ve ever stepped foot in.
Updated October 2026. Reviewed by Cate after two nights at the club.
We spent two nights at The X Club in Mississauga, a Friday and a Saturday, and left thinking, “Wait… why is nobody shouting about this place from the rooftops?”
It has a real dance floor, a real cocktail bar, a heated outdoor pool, and playrooms that don’t feel like a 1990s basement renovation. This review covers everything you need before your first visit: prices, membership, the difference between The X Club and the Mermaid Lounge, the playrooms, the crowd, and our honest cons.

The X Club vs the Mermaid Lounge: what’s the difference?
This confuses a lot of first-timers, so here’s the simple version. It’s one venue with two personalities.
Mermaid Lounge
The spa side. A heated outdoor pool, sauna and steam, a second bar with signature cocktails, and access to the playrooms. It runs on its own midweek and in the afternoons, and feels like the sexy coastal lounge of a boutique hotel.
The X Club
The night side. On Friday and Saturday the whole venue opens up into a full swingers nightclub with a DJ, the sunken dance floor, the main bar and the sports lounge. Weekend entry gets you into both.
Location: airport-close, Uber-cheap, and exactly where a swingers club should be
The X Club is at 1625 Sismet Road, Mississauga, 30 minutes from downtown Toronto and 13 minutes from Pearson Airport. Which means you can fly in, check in and fuck around, all within a tight, efficient window. We love this for us.
Yes, it’s in an industrial area, but honestly? So are 99% of good clubs. It’s quiet, anonymous and has parking. Our Uber from an airport hotel was $15 CAD, which is less than some lube bottles I’ve bought in Europe.
Membership and prices: screened, organised and surprisingly affordable
The X Club is members-only, so you’ll need to apply before your first visit. The process is quick, and out-of-province travellers get half-price membership: only $55 CAD a year as a couple. That’s basically the cost of two good cocktails in Toronto. Membership also means screening, and it showed in the crowd.
| Night entry (CAD) | Friday | Saturday |
|---|---|---|
| Couples | $40 | $60 |
| Single women | $10 | $20 |
| Single men | $70 | Not admitted |
Inside The X Club: one of the smartest layouts in North America
This place isn’t just big, it’s intentional. Every zone has a job, so you always know where to go whether you want to chat, dance, watch or play.
Sports lounge
Your warm-up zone. TVs, seating, a photo booth, and the only area where phones are allowed.
Main bar and dance floor
A sunken dance floor (yes!), a U-shaped bar, dance poles and lighting that flatters literally everyone. A proper nightclub, not a converted warehouse with vibes.
Mermaid Lounge
Newly renovated, moody lighting, its own bar and access to the play areas. This space alone could be its own swingers club.
The heated outdoor pool, sauna and steam room
Most swingers clubs give you a dim room, a mattress and a prayer. This club gave us a resort-level pool deck.
The heated outdoor pool is clothing-optional, warm even late at night, beautifully lit, and surrounded by space to chat, sip drinks or get a little more intimate as the night heats up. No other Canadian club we know of offers anything like it. Inside there’s a glass-walled sauna and steam room, which is a voyeur’s dream.
Playrooms: respectful, erotic and beautifully maintained
The play areas have a staffed entrance, lockers and clean towels everywhere (a big deal!). You’ll find private rooms, multiple open playrooms with spacious couches and beds, a BDSM area and a glory hole room. Play was active both nights, especially Saturday, but never chaotic. The vibe was sexy, respectful and consent-forward.
The VIP loft is available for around $250 CAD and sits upstairs, overlooking the open playroom. Perfect for groups, birthdays and your inner exhibitionist. It’s the closest you’ll get to a penthouse orgy suite in a swingers club.
Drinks: cocktails that don’t taste like regret
Let’s be blunt: at most lifestyle clubs, the drinks taste like someone used floor cleaner as a mixer. Not here. The X Club has a mixologist, and drink prices were even below what we paid at a few vanilla Toronto bars.
The espresso martinis were so good I nearly proposed.
The club is fully licensed, so there’s no BYOB. If you’re used to US clubs where you bring your own bottle, budget for the bar.
The crowd and vibe: high-energy but classy
Friday
Chill and social, around 80 to 100 people, respectful single men. The gentler introduction if it’s your first time.
Saturday
Busy and fun, with lots of lingerie, lots of flirting and lots of play. Couples and single women only. Go on Saturday for the full experience.
The average age was around 40 to 45, with a good spread either side. The crowd was attractive, friendly, inclusive and sexy without being pushy.
Staff and ownership: this is where the magic is
The owner, Jake, is visible, present and genuinely cares. Not creepy, not hovering, just professional and proud of his venue. The bartenders were amazing, and one remembered my drink order after one mention. Small details, big impact.
Tips for your first visit
- Apply for membership before you travel. If you live outside Ontario, ask for the out-of-province rate.
- Pick your night. Friday is quieter and admits single men. Saturday is couples and single women only, and it’s where the energy is.
- Dress the part. Upscale clubwear or lingerie in the social areas. Nudity is for the play areas, sauna and pool only.
- Leave your phone in the locker. Phones are only allowed in the sports lounge.
- Arrive early, then stay late. The dance floor warms up first and the playrooms get busier after midnight.
- Bring swimwear (or don’t). The pool is clothing-optional, and towels are provided.

Final verdict: Toronto, you’re lucky

Go if you want nightclub energy with real play, you love a good cocktail, or you’re travelling through Toronto.
Skip it if loud music kills your mood, you want full nudity everywhere, or you’re a single guy hoping for a Saturday night.
