Club X
This club describes itself as a dirty little secret. Hidden in the basement of the Polo Lounge, Club X has a serious S&M theme and plenty of secluded spaces to explore it. Meet with strangers in the dark spaces and showers of the club where anything and everything goes. There are events throughout the week themed around R&B, Hip-Hop, and cheap drinks, but that might not be all that's on your mind here...
