XTC Cabaret

What XTC Cabaret does

XTC Cabaret is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) nightclub brand operating two physical venue locations in Texas: a 21+ location in Dallas and an 18+ location in Austin. The company serves young professional consumers seeking high-energy nightlife entertainment with DJ-sourced music and dancing, allowing patrons to bring their own alcohol while the venue provides setups (glassware, ice), premium mixers, and non-alcoholic mocktails. XTC positions itself within the gentlemen's club category by combining the BYOB cost-control model with traditional adult nightclub entertainment formats.

The underlying operation is a standard hospitality venue business: foot traffic driven through direct-to-consumer marketing via the corporate website (xtccabaret.com) and local nightlife channels, with revenue collected at the door (cover charges) and at point-of-sale (food and beverage add-ons). The technology footprint is minimal — a WordPress-hosted marketing site with PayPal payment processing, Facebook Connect and OpenID-based sign-in, and generic third-party web analytics. There is no proprietary software product, no mobile application, and no disclosed technology platform beyond standard venue operations.

XTC Cabaret is a subsidiary of RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK), operating through the legal entity RCI Internet Services, Inc. The brand sits within a broader portfolio of more than 25 affiliated entertainment venues owned by RCI, including Rick's Cabaret, Club Onyx, Silver City, Foxy's Cabaret, Hoops Cabaret, The Seville Club, and Bombshells Restaurant and Bar. The company has approximately 38 employees, holds a registered trademark, and maintains ADA compliance commitments under Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Revenue, pricing, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed at the subsidiary level.
