It's a big place with many bars. There's 2 dj's with each dj playing different music. One played 80s and 90s music and the other played pop and more electronic music. I arrived at 23:30 but it really picked up at around 1am. Overall it was a nice and energetic place.

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.

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.

The DJ needs to be fired. You know this is meant to encourage people to dance and not satisfy your own personal fantasy, right? Friday that is at 10% capacity in this location…. Hire a proper DJ and invest in non-temu smoke machines, otherwise shut down and give the location to a proper 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.
