BEWARE OF PICKPOCKET GROUPS! As World Cup and Pride visitors come to town, management should do more. I had a bad experience the last time I was there. Thieves worked in tandem inside the crowded club to pick wallets! And heard someone else had his phone stolen from the bar counter. The management tried to reaccomodate. But do not have your night ruined and become a police statics! Police doesn't care about such small things.

This review is based on service, the bartender was extremely rude when we tried to order food with drinks and there was a misunderstanding .. the guy shouted at us for it. Really? Shouting at customers when you're at work? What a low bar for you.
