Total scam - charge you at the end whatever they feel like. I’ve been in loads of gay bar across Europe and this one is defiantly dodgey. 30 euros for a ref bull ?! High prices for totally mediocre place.

The biggest den of iniquity there is, another nightclub closed, now anyone can go in there, a strange space, in one place you dance, in another you smoke, in another you sit, and the smoking area is super small and we always have security on top of us pushing, we are completely surrounded by the staff, mostly the security guards. The drinks are extremely expensive. Huge queues to go to the bathroom, the same waiting time for a drink, the bar staff prioritizes friends and acquaintances, they don't even offer drinks to some. The shows are crazy, the drag queens pass by pushing everyone, throwing their clothes on top of us. It used to be a cool bar, but it's been getting worse every weekend.
