€3 for cloakroom and €3 for toilet, it's theft! Avoid!

Boycott places where toilet is paid for customers on top of the ticket to the party

This venue was not a good experience at all. I was there for a HIM party. First, there was a line for people without tickets and a lot of times they could buy tickets on the spot and enter, jumping ahead of those in line WITH tickets. Besides that, some people were just cutting in front of us because they knew someone inside. A complete messy start. In terms of size, the place is tiny. Not only tiny but hard to navigate for all these poles and benches and steps, and it doesn’t help that it was really crowded. To buy a drink, you need to buy tickets and use them at the bar. Staff is the only thing I can compliment, they were nice. To use the bathroom you need to go down this spiral staircase and go through a low-ceiling corridor. It was extremely packed down there but the cherry on top was definitely the fact that you have to pay to use the bathroom. Just why on earth? I mean, I know that this is a common thing in Europe, to which I think it’s ok if you’re not a customer. But a PAYING customer to have to pay to take a piss is insane. Completely mental. Needless to say I didn’t stay long, between being crammed and pushed and having to pay to pee and the bad music, I just thought I was bettet off hitting the road.

Really bad experience. We attended their party yesterday after the gay pride. Even though we were with four people totally sober, behaving and not causing any trouble, the security guards wouldn’t let us get inside claiming that we were “too messed up and too high” and that we had already started our party somewhere else. We had been at the pride like any other person that day. All this because one of us couldn’t speak french to them. They made us wait outside and only cause we had already bought the tickets in advance, we did the queue again. They let us in this second time. Definitely not going to buy tickets again for this place nor trying to get in after being mistreated like this.

A nightclub to avoid. Horrible security guards.

This is a horrible place. They have a smoking room downstairs without doors and proper ventilation, all the smoke comes up to the dancefloor. Very annoying and also illegal.
