The X Club - (Previously known as Aquarius Bathhouse)
“The X Club is a sex-positive venue offering a safe space for exploration and connection. Originally Aquarius Bath House, X Club Winnipeg combines traditional bathhouse elements with modern amenities and inclusive values.”
“A modern, inclusive space designed for singles, couples, and the LGBTQIA+ community. At X Club Winnipeg, we’ve created an environment where exploration, connection, and self-expression thrive. Whether you’re here to unwind, meet like-minded people, or embrace new experiences, you’ll find a space that prioritizes safety, comfort, and inclusivity. Originally known as Aquarius Bath House, this venue has long been a sanctuary for those seeking a place free of judgment—where connection, exploration, and self-discovery happen naturally. Now, under the ownership of The X Club Toronto, it’s evolving into a New-Age Bathhouse that stays true to its roots while expanding and enhancing the experience for a new generation.”
