Not been to either but curious to know which venue people generally prefer.

Obv I realise different people like different things but taking things at face value, which of the two has the best vibe?

Been attending both clubs for number of years now. Is hard to say which is better to be fair, all down to personal preference. Obviously Pandora is huge with so many playrooms and Quest is small and intimate. Had great nights in both. Sadly Pandora isn’t as well promoted like Quest is so will find Quest is busier generally most nights. Saying that I did attend the enchant socials at Pandora and must been in access of 300+ people there. Club was absolutely buzzing those nights. You’ll definitely struggle to find any club with as many facilities as Pandora and if you had arranged to meet some others couples or singles i’d opt for Pandora. If it’s a last minute decision i’d opt for Quest as like said earlier it’s generally busier. Would say it’s definitely worth trying both clubs tho

Quest all the way, had a really bad experience at pandora, and apparently it’s got worse. Dirty playrooms, not maintained. Quest is kept clean, it’s friendky and has a great atmosphere x

Been to both and had good experiences at both.

I would say it depends on what you are looking for in a night out.

Also you have to check the calendars as some nights will be a better match for you at either club.

Was wondering the same myself. As I would love to go to a club. So judging by the comments it’s best to try both? X

Sorry to hear this, not what you want anywhere let alone a place where trust is supposed to be paramount!

Not. Fan of Pandora’s. Simply too big for the number of people that attend.

We had been leaning to the idea of Quest so people's comments have helped in that respect!

Thank you so far everyone!

We've been to both and they're very different. Pandora's is huge and can feel very empty. Quest is smallest but feels far more intimate and friendly.

Have just spoken to a really friendly guy who works at Quest, they have a bar area separate to the play areas which I hadn't realisee. People can simply go for a drink, socialise & nothing more.

He described it as going out for a drink dressed as you normally would with the option for more if you want.

Sounds ideal for first timers!

Quest is without a doubt a fantastic play space, try it first and anything else will be second best

Absolutely Quest all the way. Have always had a great night there every visit. We’ve only been to Pandora’s once. Suffice to say we did not play, and won’t be going back - no one to show us round, groups of single men on mobiles, and no sign of staff in the club. We’ve not gone back.

Pandora's has a bar/lounge area like this too. In both clubs you only have to dress down if you want to go in the playrooms.

In fairness to Pandora’s that’s true of both clubs. But Pandora’s is suffering from lack of maintenance and ongoing investment. And it’s too big for the number of people that regularly attend.

More fun on busy party nights.

So. I think the way this thread is going. Best to go to both. And decide for myself.

Are they both easy to get to. Don’t know Leeds that well tbh.

Before I go any further I think quest is an awesome place and I will be going back xxx however the ONLY issue that I had was the lack of condoms and lube and considering clubs can get condoms for free I found this disconcerting xx

You could get condoms for free from a Sexual Health clinic and take them with you ?

There are condoms available to buy at the bar, like most clubs.

However, in this day and age, if you're going to a club expecting to play, it's really YOUR responsibility to bring your own condoms, lube and anything else you need.

Pandoras is exactly the same ... just bigger but has 18 play rooms well equipped dungeon where quest is more intimate you have to take your own dungeon equipment and there is limited rooms but both clubs are great x

I agree, there is just not the demand for a huge place every day of the week.

But when full on a party night I imagine it's great.

I think the investment issue may be linked to the size. The pool area is of a high standard as are many of the playrooms. But in a place so huge it takes a lot of money to maintain everything to the same high standard

"Come on if you haven’t got the foresight to take your own?? "

Then you have to carry them around with you, which is a pain if you haven't got clothes on! IMO, if you are required to not have pockets with you there should be bowls of condoms and lube in the play rooms - this is the case in most other dress down clubs I've been to.

But it's a minor issue with quest, and doesn't take away from the atmosphere there, which is great. The main reason I prefer Pandoras is because of the excellent dungeon equipment (over multiple rooms), which Quest has very little of (despite having regular BDSM scene events there). But I can see if you are not very confident, the emptiness of Pandoras could make hooking up difficult, however that's not an issue if you are confident, or have arranged to meet someone in advance.

Quest smaller more intimate and friendly in my opinion. Pandora bigger more spacious. Hot tub in quest anytime

Been to both but Quest is just far too busy for us especially on Saturday nights, although Sunday afternoons were much more relaxed. Not many rooms & generally get full very quickly.

Pandoras is nowhere near as bad as some people say it is, the hot tub, sauna & pool are lovely. It's big yes & can be quiet but the party nights with buffet are great. The rooms are amazing, every room you can think of AND more!

Quest and Pandoras are not dress down clubs.

I carry a little zip bag round with me with condoms, lube, a comb, hair bobble etc and I put my locker key in it too.

"Quest and Pandoras are not dress down clubs. "

Check their rules. Quest has no street clothes allowed in the hot tub or play rooms, Pandoras is dress down upstairs. In both cases you're quite likely not to have pockets for condoms when you are playing.

But I agree with your solution. I personally carry a runners belt which helps secure my towel as well as holding condoms, lube and other sexy supplies.

A dress down club is one like Cupids where you can't wear street clothes in the bar. Neither Quest or Pandora have this rule.

In your bed

A small see through zip locked bag to carry condoms and a small vibratory and hey presto no problem.

Alternatively slip one or two into the side of your boxers or slip in the bra and again no problem.

Unless your planning on a gangbang. But in that case I'm sure carry a couple of boxes in your hands would not be frowned upon.

I prefer quest. There is always something going on but if I just want to chill in the tub I can do. I always come away from a visit feeling refreshed.

I’ve been to Quest a number of times, it’s spotless and wonderfully maintained; mainly been daytimes but on the couple of occasions I went on Saturdays found it perhaps a little too busy. It’s my fave club.

I’ve been to Pandora once, willing to accept it was a bad night, but must have only been six or seven people rattling around. It’s huge, feels sleazy (which has its place) and I didn’t feel it was particularly clean.

How can it feel sleazy when a bad night obviously not a lot of people in ? X
