Platens Bar

Probably the worst nightclub experience I've ever had. The party and bar itself is what you would expect from a venue, I can't complain in that regard. It all gets overshadowed by the mismanaged wardrobe situation. When a party ends, people want to go home and get their belongings. Platens has one job here, namely to be efficient but they fail miserably at it. The wardrobe is a huge chaos. They could not find my jacket after 5 minutes of searching, THEN THEY CALLED ME IN TO HELP THEM SEARCH. I saw the chaos, their enumeration system is non-existent. Why do I have to help search for my jacket as a paying customer? The party I went to was sold out. They played the closing song at 02:40 and I was among the first 20 people to queue up for the wardrobe. I was out of the venue at 03:40. This is not a serious business. If you look back at reviews from 2-3 years ago, they all state this mismanaged mess. I'm not coming back to a basement venue with such poor management. Who knows what would happen in an emergency situation here...

Good

Visited for a gig. Nothing to complain about.

The feeling of a recreation center for those of us who have reached middle age and a bit over. Decent prices at the bar. Was here for the first time at a gig and the sound is as you would expect at a club gig.

The security outside charged us for wardrobe before ee entered, saying it was mandatory to use wardrobe for security reasons. After we asked to people inside, they confirmed that it was for free to use wardrobe. Basically they stole our money.

Nice place to wander into on a freezing night. Good music on stage. My jacket apparently caused a big fire hazard but otherwise it was no problem 👍

Good atmosphere. A little expensive beer. You had to leave your jacket in the wardrobe for some reason. It's nice though that there are still places here in Linköping that serve beer to us 16 year olds♥️
