★★☆☆☆

I went there on a Saturday night, arriving at midnight. Upon arrival, a charming drag queen greeted us, and we thought the atmosphere would be nice. Once inside, there was a really unpleasant toilet smell, the atmosphere was strange, there were very few people, the DJ was giving it his all (and he's quite good), but nobody was dancing; everyone was sitting or standing in a corner of the dance floor. A spot in the back made us think it was the dark room, but we weren't sure. People were sitting in the light, but the atmosphere was dreary! We stayed for less than an hour because we were really expecting a better atmosphere. A real disappointment, especially since the club is quite well located!

The best place in the world, great service and very safe; the action starts at 1:30 or 2 am when the show begins 😏, don't leave before then
