PORTUM — Gay Club

A wonderful place for an evening out. Friendly crowd, wonderful performers, and an incredible show—nowhere else in Ukraine is like it.

Steeply

went with friends to portum on the eve of our friend's birthday the security tried not to let me in because of "stains on my longsleeve" (??? I had to ask THREE times because I couldn't believe they were asking me about STAIN, after it had been raining heavily in Kyiv for a few hours), probably too many people go to portum and there's no room or something. then we went out to pick up our girlfriend, took one step outside the portum gate, we came back - we had to pay 500 for everyone again, but okay, that's what the rules say. but when we were returning, in the "without prejudice" establishment, the security started openly picking on every aspect of our appearance. but if you are half naked then be a sweetheart go through))) to the girlfriend who was already let through before, they complained about the "sweatpants" (absolutely not sweatpants, neat nice style, with a nice print, and not for 200 UAH per second). they started to completely grope us, when asked what the problem suddenly appeared now, we were told "there must have been a lot of people then". firstly, there were about 2-3 people in the queue besides us the first time. secondly, that is, if you have a "big" queue, you are killing security, right? after reading the reviews I see that the problem with security exists, and has existed for a long time. it is clear that the port does not care about this, unfortunately the alcohol had a taste of palono and tequila from the outlet, the bar workers were unfriendly towards the end of the evening the rain started again. My friends and I noticed a girl in a bad state, she was alone, drunk, under the shower. We approached her, tried to help, to get her into the establishment, it was of course difficult because of her intoxication. But the port workers did not care at all. The main thing is that a person in sweatpants should not enter, or with stains on a long sleeve shirt. After the drag show (the drag queens are really queens, I really thank them) we were twice encouraged to give the “DJ” a round of applause for his “good job”. That this time, on my last visit, the music was not very good. It is suitable if you are very drunk, but unfortunately the experience at the entrance to the establishment prevented me from relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. The DJ included one normal well-known song, and between them 4 songs that he somehow took from the playlist “Top 100 Ukraine” in Apple Music. everyone has their own taste, and everyone can listen to what they want, but if you position yourself as a cool club with cool music, you need some kind of correspondence to this in reality. at the entrance they told me something like "next time" so that I would come dressed normally. I understand that the port will not lose anything from this, but neither I nor my friends will come to this institution again. have a nice day

From the side of the establishment, everything seems to be fine. Delicious signature cocktails and an incendiary show. But the visitors… A lot of staff who behave like cattle. During the whole evening, they spilled a drink twice, fell with heels and knocked me off the bar, some lady, without explaining the reason, touched and kicked me out of the area near the reserved tables, namely part of the stairs (we didn’t see any ban)… In general, instead of saving a place, I was left with the impression that I had ended up in some hookah near the office… I hope that the situation will improve in the future

It was great. I was at the show with my girlfriend, we've never seen anything like it before, it's great, we gave it a standing ovation. We'll come again, 100%.
