I was wearing joggers and the security aggressively stated i could not enter. People in the smoking area out front were wearing shorts.

As many people have written before me, the security guards are jerks and condescending...

I personally only had about 15 minutes to party before my flight I had to leave for my flight, but I needed to get the check on a gay club for this trip. There’s a Ft30k entrance fee, which is fair compared to where I’m from. Beer cost 11 which is insanely cheap and for a night club (not compared to the area, but to my home country). Can definitely see myself enjoying there, had I had more time and came there with friends. Nice music indeed. There was a line, but nothing too long. The place does get crowded. Chatted a bit with the very nice lad in front of me in the line, who was very nice when a bunch of guys tried to cut in line (me and a few girls behind me) and were like “who cares about girls huh!”, to which I replied “there’s like 7 of us here”, said guy really put them in their place with no fighting or violence. (Unnecessary story)
