CLUB XS [Security]

Last weekend was my absolute first time at XS nightclub in Toronto and my LAST to say the least!
XS itself is a small club, however it does connect to Aquarium with two totally different club vibes. The music was good when you had a chance to take it in over all the commotion on the dance floor.


QUESTION: Who has the liberty of hiring security at clubs? Do these people just hire Big, Dumb and Stupid?


The security at XS were so unprofessional and definitely abusing their title.
So let me set the scene for you;
As we walked in the door it was a mixed crowd the vibe seemed right and the music was tolerable. I see one bouncer off to the corner dancing like there was no one else in the club as his fellow bouncers were engaged in commotion in the middle of the dance floor. My friend and I almost got knocked over by a group of 4 bouncers pounding on some guys head WHOA? are you kidding me? is it that serious? It took 4 of you JUG HEADS to beat this 5'10 couldn't have been more than 170 lbs into a coma? at this point the victims girlfriend about 5foot nothing is trying to pry security off of her boyfriend as they beat him down.


IM SORRY, I do believe in keeping our clubs safe and drama free but that was excessive.
I now understand WHY XS is an underrated club and up for sale on MLS.com


This incident leaves one last question: Security is hired to keep the club safe, but WHO keeps the patrons safe from the security?

So here is how this thing will work...
We will give you the "NITTY GRITTY" on the clubs in Toronto, you can take the info for what it's worth OR you can leave your comment and experience at that particular club.

Let's start off by saying; this blog is not to bash particular clubs but to encourage some change in the way things are dealt with. This will a POV of both sides; the "Clubbers" and the "Clubee's" (Club owners, Security, Promoters etc.).

We will assume no liability for those who are MAD at this blog, if you are doing your job accurately you shouldn't be taking offence to someone's point-of-view.
