PORTUM

Portum has become a unique place. The quality of drag shows here is head and shoulders above other venues. I want to come back again and again.

Came with a friend (18 and 19 years old) dressed like 2 sluts because no one wrote properly, but they intimidated us by being picky about everything. The security guard looked at the bag, did not examine every detail of the documents, pleasant. There were few people because it was Sunday and there was no queue. The music was great at first, but after the show (after 9 pm) Bobik died. The staff at the bar could have been friendlier. Everywhere is clean, there are many toilets and they are spacious. You can go out to the summer terrace, but there is air conditioning inside. There is a dressing room, but we did not use it. Thanks to some visitors and a bright show, the evening will be remembered for a long time.

I was in this club last summer, a couple of days ago I visited again with two friends, me and one of my friends were let in right away, but the third one’s passport code wouldn’t load, but the E-document would load, we were told that it didn’t fit and the photo of the documents too. So one friend went in and we went to get the documents, spent more than a thousand hryvnias and an hour of time, so that we wouldn’t be let in due to “inadequate and drunken behavior”, from the words of the security guard I was speechless!!! but we showed the documents without saying a word, and we weren’t in a state of alcoholic intoxication. While we were trying to call my friend who was in the club, we approached another security guard, who thought I was recording the conversation (I called my friend) and said that recording the conversation was not allowed and that I should put the phone away because IT WILL GET WORSE (is the club’s policy threats?). They were rude to us, and when asked about their behavior they answered that we were aggressive. Each of the guards repeated to us three times that “they have the right not to explain the reason”. Therefore, the question arises: according to which law of the Constitution of Ukraine did they give themselves this right? Because there are conditions under which according to the law they can really not allow you to enter the club, this is a dress code announced prematurely, aggressive behavior (for example, like the guards), none of the above was. This can be safely called discrimination and held accountable. I will never return to this establishment again and I do not advise anyone to go. I have never encountered such an attitude towards a guest anywhere, and I really hope that I will not encounter it. As I understand it, the administration is not responsible (I wrote to them) and is not going to change anything in its policy. I want to emphasize that such behavior of the guards is unacceptable.

It's noticeable that the club has changed. The level of the show, the artists, the design of the establishment - everything has become a level higher.

Portum has changed for the better. The atmosphere is great, the drag show is hot.

A wonderful place for an evening out. Friendly crowd, wonderful performers, and an incredible show—nowhere else in Ukraine is like it.

went with friends to portum on the eve of our friend's birthday the security tried not to let me in because of "stains on my longsleeve" (??? I had to ask THREE times because I couldn't believe they were asking me about STAIN, after it had been raining heavily in Kyiv for a few hours), probably too many people go to portum and there's no room or something. then we went out to pick up our girlfriend, took one step outside the portum gate, we came back - we had to pay 500 for everyone again, but okay, that's what the rules say. but when we were returning, in the "without prejudice" establishment, the security started openly picking on every aspect of our appearance. but if you are half naked then be a sweetheart go through))) to the girlfriend who was already let through before, they complained about the "sweatpants" (absolutely not sweatpants, neat nice style, with a nice print, and not for 200 UAH per second). they started to completely grope us, when asked what the problem suddenly appeared now, we were told "there must have been a lot of people then". firstly, there were about 2-3 people in the queue besides us the first time. secondly, that is, if you have a "big" queue, you are killing security, right? after reading the reviews I see that the problem with security exists, and has existed for a long time. it is clear that the port does not care about this, unfortunately the alcohol had a taste of palono and tequila from the outlet, the bar workers were unfriendly towards the end of the evening the rain started again. My friends and I noticed a girl in a bad state, she was alone, drunk, under the shower. We approached her, tried to help, to get her into the establishment, it was of course difficult because of her intoxication. But the port workers did not care at all. The main thing is that a person in sweatpants should not enter, or with stains on a long sleeve shirt. After the drag show (the drag queens are really queens, I really thank them) we were twice encouraged to give the “DJ” a round of applause for his “good job”. That this time, on my last visit, the music was not very good. It is suitable if you are very drunk, but unfortunately the experience at the entrance to the establishment prevented me from relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. The DJ included one normal well-known song, and between them 4 songs that he somehow took from the playlist “Top 100 Ukraine” in Apple Music. everyone has their own taste, and everyone can listen to what they want, but if you position yourself as a cool club with cool music, you need some kind of correspondence to this in reality. at the entrance they told me something like "next time" so that I would come dressed normally. I understand that the port will not lose anything from this, but neither I nor my friends will come to this institution again. have a nice day

From the side of the establishment, everything seems to be fine. Delicious signature cocktails and an incendiary show. But the visitors… A lot of staff who behave like cattle. During the whole evening, they spilled a drink twice, fell with heels and knocked me off the bar, some lady, without explaining the reason, touched and kicked me out of the area near the reserved tables, namely part of the stairs (we didn’t see any ban)… In general, instead of saving a place, I was left with the impression that I had ended up in some hookah near the office… I hope that the situation will improve in the future
