Club XS
Club XS is one of the newer go-go bars on Fields Avenue, positioned near the Walking Street end of the strip. The bar opened in the early 2020s and was designed with more modern production values than many of its older neighbors. LED panels line the walls and stage area, creating a club-like atmosphere that sets it apart from the traditional neon-and-mirrors aesthetic. The main stage accommodates larger group performances, and the sound system is noticeably better than what you will find at smaller bars. Capacity is around 80 people across a single level with both bar seating and booths. The dancer roster runs 25 to 30 on busy nights, with choreographed group performances every hour. Themed nights happen periodically, usually on Fridays. Drink prices are in the upper-mid range for Fields Avenue, and the bar fine sits at 3,000 to 4,000 PHP. Club XS targets visitors who want something between the mega-venues like Club Atlantis and the smaller neighborhood bars.

Arrive before 9 PM on themed nights to get a booth with a good stage view. The LED light show is best appreciated from the middle of the room. Ask about the happy hour deal running from 6 to 7 PM, which drops beer prices significantly.
Full Review
Club XS feels like the next generation of Angeles City go-go bars. The LED panels and modern sound system create an environment that is closer to a small nightclub than the traditional open-front bar format. It is clear that the owners invested in production quality.
The stage is wide enough for group performances of six to eight dancers, and the choreography is tighter than what you see at most competitors. Performances rotate hourly, with individual sets filling the gaps between group numbers. The music leans toward EDM and K-pop, which reflects the bar's effort to attract Korean visitors alongside the Western crowd.
Pricing is fair for what you get. Beer at 90 PHP is a small premium over the cheaper bars, but lady drinks at 300 PHP and bar fines at 3,000 to 4,000 PHP are competitive. The staff were professional, and the billing was clean. No mystery charges appeared on the tab.
On a Saturday night, the bar was about three-quarters full with a mixed crowd of Koreans, Australians, and a few Americans. The energy was high without being aggressive. Club XS occupies a sweet spot between the overwhelming scale of Club Atlantis and the basic setup of the smaller bars. If you want decent production without the premium prices of the flagship venues, this is a strong option.
