Women usually don't pay an entrance fee, the security guards are super friendly, and if any man is inappropriate with a woman, the guards are very quick to help and deal with the matter. It's my favorite bar.
The security guard's response at the door was, "There are already too many men, it's not going to get any worse."
Violent security guard and suspicious place. I was going in when my friend was prevented from entering and I didn't understand why... I politely asked the security guard how to get into the bar, where to buy things, etc. He literally pushed me and said he didn't have to give an explanation. It was very strange. There's something very wrong with this place.
The security guard at the Queen Club establishment was extremely attentive, polite, and friendly with all customers, always available for anything.
Went to enter the club and bartender refused immediately. I asked why and he wouldnt respond or let me know why, just pushed me back. Incredibly rude and disrespectful. The club nearby called The Wall was amazing though, would recommend anybody going there instead.
When it takes a bartender 10 minutes to make 2 gin tonics, maybe she should change her profession… :(
It's a great place to listen to and dance to music with friends or solo 💃 and of course have a drink. I highly recommend it 👌
Located on one of the most iconic streets in the Baixa district, within the Galerias Paris, this Queen Club bar offers happy hour cocktails for 5 euros. A great price on the terrace, perfect for experiencing Porto's vibrant nightlife.
He assaulted my wife for no reason and violently forced her to leave (they pushed her and pulled her outside).
Bar where security guards like to beat women.
No hats allowed:(
Terrible experience, we went with the promise that we could take our cup outside to smoke a cigarette and that wasn't possible. My mouth was very moist due to lack of night.
We asked the security guards if we could drink on the terrace, they said yes, so we went inside to get a drink. When we tried to go outside to drink on the terrace, they wouldn't let us leave.
They just let women in. Security guards are too rough on people. Since 1 vs 1 is not fair, 3 come out of nowhere to and become violent. They have 0 people skills and training. Avoid this bar at all costs!
I really like the atmosphere and the music. The only problem is the service. Every time I've been to the establishment, I've been greeted with a smile; they don't seem to want to work, and it spoils the evening a bit. They could improve on this aspect. There were three people at the counter, and none of them looked me in the eye. With no other customers to serve, it leaves much to be desired.
The place is not supportive of LGBTQI+.
Beware of this place. I saw a very old man openly touching a very young girl, she looked like a teenager. I called security, but they didn't ask her age and left everything as is.
Pretty cool. We’re open to playing Sara perche ti amo. But we left and didn’t hear it.
