The problem.is no one cleaned that bar since construction. Dirty and smelly very hot no AC it is just go in get smelly and go out. Shame why they don't install AC unit and good ventilation to avoid smells. Why they don't clean there toilets.

Great spot, smaller but also you like that. They have all the necessities. Also I saw some reviews about it being very hot and without AC and I went expecting to sweat and they definitely fixed that with a quickness. I felt very comfortable. I also went on a Wednesday and it was still very packed. Music was amazing. Sexy gritty techno just how it should be.

The place has poor ventilation so it gets oven-hot in the summer. Keep in mind that if you need to go out to catch air, the staff will not like it and will ask you to pay again.

This is my second time going there in the same weekend. It seems there's no ventilation system in the darkroom area because the heat and humidity are unbearable. I almost fainted several times. The drinks are extremely expensive (€4 for a soft drink). Is it perhaps a tactic to keep the place so hot that people buy more? One of the waiters (wearing a Bayern Munich football jersey) is really unpleasant. I saw him repeatedly speaking rudely to customers, even insulting them. The clientele is also a bit odd, but that's not their fault. The music on Friday night was great because there were DJs, but on Saturday, there was no DJ, so it was pretty bad. Be careful to leave your belongings in a safe place because someone tried to pickpocket me in the darkroom. I think it's the only nightclub with a darkroom in Brussels. A friend explained to me that this is probably why they don't make any effort to improve customer comfort. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll go back.
