XKboys

A cruising club at the heart of the 11th

XKboys has set up at 150 rue Saint-Maur, a stone's throw from the Goncourt metro, in the former premises of Bunker. The club reopened in October 2021 under new management, with a clearly stated identity: here, cruising between men comes first, in a space built exactly for that.

You head down to the basement to find 380 sqm split across several zones: a maze, booths, lockers, slings and glory holes. The kind of setup that leaves no doubt about what the place is for.

Hours and access

XKboys opens every day of the week, which isn't so common for this type of venue. From Tuesday to Saturday, doors are open from 4pm to 2am. On Sunday, the schedule shifts: 3pm to 10pm.

Entry is reserved for adults, 18 and up. As for pricing, count on starting from 9 euros for under 30s, 12 euros with cloakroom for everyone else. Prices vary depending on the night and the events on the program.

Atmosphere and crowd

Regulars describe a lively atmosphere, warm for a cruising venue, with a crowd that's fairly diverse in age. The club's layout, with its different spaces flowing into one another, is often mentioned as a real strong point, both visually and practically.

One detail that keeps coming up in reviews: no alcohol on site, only non alcoholic drinks. Some regret the absence, others see it as a way to keep the place calmer and better managed, with a pragmatic approach to prevention.

Nights and smoking room

The club runs several themed nights during the week, like XKDays Fusion on Thursday from 4pm to 2am or the High Energy nights, which shape the programming and draw a specific crowd depending on the date.

An indoor smoking room is also available, so there's no need to head back up to the surface between two trips through the maze. A practical detail appreciated by regulars who come and spend several hours here.
