Atlantis is a pressure free club where sexually liberated adults can have a fantastic time with like minded people. When we say “Pressure Free”, we really do mean it. No one will expect you to do anything at all. There are no membership rituals, and you don’t have to be superstars to join (but we won’t complain if you are).
The people who come are from all walks of life, and come in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes. Our age group is from early 20’s to mid 50’s.
Here are just a few of the questions people ask us, and if your question isn’t answered here, we’re just an email or a ‘phone call away. (Sorry, we can’t answer questions by text). Please click on any question.
We’re new to this - will we be OK?
What if I don’t like somebody?
What if I meet somebody I know?
What happens when we come for the first time?
HELP! Somebody just said HELLO!!!
Yes! New members are made very welcome. For couples and single ladies membership is usually immediate. Single gents are asked to ring (07971 185 999) to check membership availability.
There’s NEVER any pressure to do ANYTHING. In fact, people tell us that they feel more relaxed at Atlantis than they would in a “normal” nightclub.
You’ll be fine @ Atlantis! We’re experts at putting people at their ease, and we’ll happily show you around, answer any questions, and generally calm your butterflies.
Single gents are welcome on our “mixed” nights, (usually every Friday). The maximum age for single gents is 45. Guys must be well presented, clean and articulate. We do not admit groups of males.
Single ladies are welcome, and safe at Atlantis. You can come on your own, and you’ll soon make loads of friends.
Our dress code for guys is very smart casual (jeans etc OK, so long as they’re smart). For the ladies, it’s drop-dead-sexy. Lingerie, see through, stunningly short, etc., etc. It’s a very flirty sorta place, so dress to impress! (Back to top)
We can’t MAKE people use condoms, but you’d be crazy not to. Having said that, it’s up to you. It’s a good idea to find out what your intended playmates feel about using protection - before it’s too late!
One of the beauties of swinging is that nothing’s certain. And that goes especially for sex! There are absolutely NO guarantees - you just never know, but hey - that’s part of the fun!
Of course, you’re not going to be attracted to everybody you meet, so if you’re invited to join someone who doesn’t appeal, just say “No thank you”. Don’t feel that you need to give a reason. Likewise, if someone you’re hot for doesn’t want to play, don’t take it personally - they may have just had a bad day.
People often worry about “Swinging Etiquette”. It couldn’t be simpler. Be nice to people, ask before you touch, and “no means no (not maybe)”. In short, treat people the way you’d like them to treat you.
Even if you meet somebody you know well, it usually isn’t a problem. Most people wouldn’t dream of giving away your little secret, if only because it would give away theirs too. Either say hello, or pretend you haven’t noticed them. Or who knows - you could even end up playing together. Now... Who would YOU like to meet @ Atlantis?
Swinging is as confidential as you make it. Certainly Atlantis-Club will NEVER release your personal details, and if you don’t want us to contact you tell us, and we’ll make sure it never happens. Only give your email, phone numbers etc to people you trust.
We are open every Friday and Saturday evening from 10pm - 3am. We don’t open in the daytime or during the week.
Atlantis is located on a very quiet street in Burslem. All you need to do is to ring the bell and a very polite doorman will open the door for you and wish you a 'Good Evening'. You are now in reception. The receptionist will welcome you and ask you for proof of ID, then ask you to fill out an application form (unless you’ve done so already of course. Once done you will be issued with a membership number - At this point the doorman will take your coats. Then a member of staff will take you on a full tour of the club - you can of course ask as many questions as you like during the tour, even those nitty gritty ones!
Once the tour is over you will be brought to the main bar in the main room downstairs. If you have brought your own drinks this is where you can place them with the barstaff. Your drinks will be given a 'Bar Tag' and you will be given the number of the tag. Each time you want a drink you just tell the barstaff your number and they will top up your drink for you. You can of course buy soft drinks at the bar (please don't bring your own soft drinks because we sell these at the bar).
Once your drinks are sorted you can do anything you like really - you can find a hideaway corner to sit in, and just watch the club unfold before your eyes or you can get right into the throng of the club and get chatting to members from the word go. We pride ourselves on our 'no pressure policy' so you will feel safe at all times. One thing is for sure, you will find that all members and staff at Atlantis are warm and friendly.
The main club area is much like any niteclub would be - there is a disco with a mix of modern and older tunes to suit your mood - part way through the night the curtains may close around the dancefloor for smoochie dancing - you can even use the pole in the centre of the dancefloor if you wish. Later on in the evening people wander off to the upstairs lounge 'Ginger's Bar' to relax and chill or use the kasbahs (there are also rooms downstairs that you can use at any time) Feel free to wander about the club at any time you wish. You can go and watch what is happening in any part of the club at any time you want to, this will help you 'get a feel for things'. (Back to top)
If you’d like to get chatting to people, just sit at the bar, and you’ll soon find yourself among friends. If you’re feeling really brave, you might just stroll up to someone you like and say “Hello”. People are really friendly, and you’ll strike up conversation easily. We’re always happy to introduce people to eachother - just ask us.
Someone just said Hello to you!!! Aaaagh. Don’t panic. A chat is just a chat, and it doesn’t commit you to ANYTHING. So be your normal friendly self, and enjoy your night @ Atlantis.
