Bar staff was great. But apparently some of the security staff is more concerned about the gay (male on male) patrions that hit on only women than actually making sure it's a safe space for everyone. Won't be visiting again.

I know this is probably small or nothing but my experience was great entering, crowd was fun but the girl waiter in the bar just right after you put your jacket, long black hair with big doll eyelash took 5€ from the balance that she supposed to give, i was drunk but i am aware, i counted my money and 5€ was missing from it, i bought 1 vodka redbull and 1 vodka shots, so i went back and told her she didnt give the right amount and then she smiled and gave me 3€ and still took 2€, to me this is not sincere and not nice, it is stealing and against policy and law, i wonder how much more she did snitching at peoples balance? Be careful when paying drinks with cash here, otherwise everything is perfect

Good music mainly popular pop music… Didn’t feel it was a gay bar… mostly women and straight men looking to meet the women. Since the place is huge, one doesn’t need to wait for drinks. We went around midnight on Saturday and it was buzzing. Not overcrowded but it felt like the right time to come to this club.

I was surprised how much fun it was. I admit the interior is not the nicest but the music was just great on both dancefloors and there are many different bars to order so you never have to wait for a long time.

Personally, I enjoy the oldies dancefloor. DJ Dean and Awa play sometimes forgotten pop hits, which is great, because you get really tired after hearing the same 90's and early 2000's hits time after time.
