After giving myself two days to think about it and writing this with a clear head, I still can’t believe the entrance fee is €15. On top of that, you pay €2 for the jacket. I didn’t even order a single drink and I was already €17 lighter. In my opinion, that is simply too expensive for what you actually get in return. There is no welcome drink, no special atmosphere, nothing that justifies that price. The place has potential, but the organization and the way guests are treated raise serious concerns. The biggest issue is the staff. Some waiters (not all of them) seem to have their own “special prices,” take tips without asking, and act as if they operate by their own rules. That seriously damages trust and the overall experience. When I pay €17 before even having a drink, I expect professionalism, transparency, and at least a decent overall experience. Unfortunately, that is not the case at the moment. I hope the management takes this as constructive criticism, because with proper control and accountability, this place could be much better. Right now, the price and the experience are simply not aligned.

We went here last Saturday. We ran away, it didn't seem like a gay bar, there were almost only screaming woman, and too many people for the space available. Very bad impression
