What reviewers say

Some visitors find the staff friendly and the venue good. However, multiple reviews express serious concerns about safety, particularly for women and queer individuals, citing dismissive staff, hostile bouncers, and a lack of action regarding assaults and spiked drinks. One reviewer also mentioned a negative experience with bathroom access for a non-binary friend.

My AFAB non-binary friend was denied entry into male bathroom because they "look like a girl", this is not a queer friendly place at all!!
