I've been waiting a long time to write something more definitive about this place, kind of like a jubilee :) I go there almost every week, the atmosphere is nice, of course everyone has an opinion, it's safe but I can't say it's unsafe, my phone or anything hasn't been stolen, but they've made some changes recently, all the security guards have been replaced but the waiters remain, I think they should have changed the waiters too, because some problems start there. Also, at the entrance, a non-alcoholic drink is 900 TL plus vests, once inside a beer is 550 TL, total starting 1650 TL. As you hang out there, you realize that everyone is coming and going, going to the liquor store on the street below, drinking alcohol in front of the buildings, then coming back inside thinking they're more cheerful, and there are a lot of people who bother you. Then there are the groups inside, the legendary ones. If you come alone, you're doomed. They constantly surround you, interrupting to prevent you from meeting anyone, and some of the people who allow this are the waiters and security guards. And if you say anything to them, they subtly annoy you while you're dancing, bumping into you constantly. Since it's a small place, that's not much of a problem, but if you do the same to them, they immediately get cocky because they know you came alone. And even if you complain, nothing much changes. As I said, yesterday I had my jubilee, and when I was about to enter, the new security guard, even though I arrived at 50% off, demanded the full entrance fee. That means our time here is over. Maybe they don't want regulars anymore, that's possible too :) Anyway, I'm tired... I could write more, but as I said, I'm tired.

Bouncer was super rude. Told me that my heels needed straps. Ok I can accept that but then he proceeded to say I needed gay friends to get in. My girlfriend and I are the gay ones. He discriminated because we are both feminine and look straight. Girls stay away they only want man.

Following the murder of the owner of a metropolis's elite, marginal LGBT+ venue, the nightlife scene continues unabated, maintaining its clientele profile. However, the high entrance fee and alcohol prices – a 33cl drink for 500 TL and a cocktail with low alcohol content for 1400 TL – are a disgrace, especially for people already marginalized by society. It would be better if you adjusted your pricing policy instead of ripping off these people with your ten-minute drag show.
