DownTown Live

Great live venue but with a ridiculous minimum charge policy for drinks at the door even if you buy a concert/event ticket in advance. Forcing people to pay for drinks is unacceptable, especially in cases of international acts that perform at the venue with people from other cities travelling to see (and may not want to drink since they will have to travel back home) or in cases of people that don't drink at all (e.g. for medical reasons). Too bad since it is actually a really nice venue. Not recommended.

They force you to buy drink tickets before entering. If you're not making a profit, it's not the fans' problem. not everyone comes to get drunk.

I paid for the stand up show 24 euros. On entrance I was obliged without prior notice that I need to spend 15 euros. The officiant was super annoying and rude, he demanded that I pay 45 euros for 2 person for some reason. He ruined the show and the evening.

We bought tickets to a concert at this venue in advance. However, the venue enforces a clearly illegal policy (I checked — it really is illegal): a mandatory minimum order of €15 per person. In other words, everyone in our group was forced to order at least €15 worth of food or drinks, even if they didn’t want anything — despite the fact that we had already paid for our concert tickets. The waiter kept coming to our table and insisting we order something. We ordered water hoping he’d leave us alone, but the pressure continued. His constant interruptions completely ruined our evening, and in the end we left in the middle of the performance. We are extremely disappointed and angry that the venue wouldn’t let us simply enjoy the concert we had paid to attend. I suggest to avoid this greedy place.

We came to this venue for a concert and paid for our tickets in advance. However, the venue has an illegal policy (I checked, and it is indeed illegal) requiring a minimum order of €15 per person. In other words, every member of our group was forced to order at least €15 worth of food or drinks, even if they didn't want anything. This was despite the fact that we had already paid for our concert tickets. It was outrageous. The waiter kept coming to our table and insisting that we order something. We ordered water, hoping he would leave us alone, but he continued to pressure us. His constant interruptions completely ruined our concert experience. In the end, we were so frustrated that we left in the middle of the performance. We are extremely disappointed and angry with this venue for not allowing us to enjoy the concert we paid to attend. We went to this venue for a concert and had already paid for our tickets. However, we were told that each person had to order at least €15 worth of food or drinks, even though we had already paid for the entrance fee. The waiter kept coming to our table and pressuring us to order something. We even ordered water, but he kept insisting. His constant interruptions ruined the concert experience and we ended up leaving before it was over. Very disappointing. We were not allowed to enjoy the concert that we had already paid for.
