    Place is cool, 2 dance floors, inside and outside smoking area, atleast 4 bars iirc, lockers and more, but needing tonpay entry fee, then pay abut 3€ for a tiny beer and on top of all you have to pay to pee, it gets quite expencive for those of us that have a bad party bladder.

    Security is very very rude, I saw them push a girl and guy out of the club simply because they wanted to go grab their stuff from their lockers…

    Even though you have to pay for the entrance you have to pay for the toilet. Come on, that's a proper scam. Music is okay but the drinks are above the average priced

    Nice party place in Ghent but one of the bouncer at the gate needs to behave properly. He asked me some rude questions very inappropriately and checked my ID even after paying. I have never been asked such things in a club before may be my foreign origin was the reason.

    One of the nicest clubs in Ghent. Check what music is being played, because it can be quite random from time to time. Drink prices are OK and make entry fee worth the money.

    I'm not really into the party places, but I entered here with some friends, cause we didn't want to go to a crowded place. We had to pay a 5€ entrance, but the disco is huge! It has a bar at the entrance with fair prices and a several options, a very big dancing room, lockers, a chill garden area and another dancing room with different music style. You could find different ambiences, with different people: from young students to middle age party people.

    Nice place, little bit sketchy the time for the opening, and canceling events you already pay for it. If you pay to see a band and they cancel they will give you some poor excuses about how they had to take care of other expenses, and they will transfer that to the customers. Apart from the poor interest of the customer experience the place is fine.

    Often pay to enter, always pay to pee, even on relatively calm nights where the front half is empty and sad feeling. Prices are okay and they put a lot of effort in diverse events and dj's which showcase the best side to this venue.

    The charlatan is kind of famous in Ghent. But it's not really that special. It's just a random dancing. Nice place but not really special. Bouncers could be more friendly.

    During my Erasmus stay in Ghent (Autumn 2021), I visited this club once and I had a terrible, traumatizing experience! The security people who are letting people in are some of the rudest people I have met in my life. When I expressed my complaints to them and stated that I would like to talk with their boss, they became aggressive, mocking and vulgar, stating also that they were the bosses of the club, which was obviously a lie. One of them was doing insulting hand gestures to me (middle finger)! Then, when I wanted to enter the club again, they didn't let me in, saying that they didn't want me in their club, although I had paid the 10€ ticket. The other guy kept insulting me (with the phrase that starts with f). When I tried to go inside by pushing them, one guy pushed me so as to fall on the ground. I have bruises on my knee and on my hand now from hitting the pavement. When I got up and told him how he had dared to do something like that, to hit a woman, and that he was a bully, he told me that, yes, he is a bully and he likes it. The other guy was mocking me through the window. I was trying to talk to him, saying that, at least, I want my money back, and he was lighting on purpose a torch he had on my face so as to go blind and not to be able to look at him. I left the club at a terrible state and that guy even came to the taxi I was about to take for home and he was telling to the taxi driver that I am crazy. I could have even gone to the police, since there was physical violence involved, besides the verbal one. The guy pushed me with the intention to hit the ground. Imagine if I had hurt my head or had broken anything and needed to go to the hospital. What would they have done then? This is not the way we are treating clients! And I have read many reviews here and on their Facebook page and realized that this is not the first time they are doing this. On the contrary, there are reviews which point out the despicable and unacceptable behavior of those security guys!

    The place is nice, cosy and huge, there is enough space for dancing or just sitting with friends, having a nice beer. Had a wonderful time there! Highly recommend.

    Great club in matters of music, areas and organization. Very good management of people so you can party and not have to squiz in. Still many people nevertheless

    Went here with 5 of my friends to enjoy some of the nightlife in Gent. We came here around 23.30 and people were already dancing and crowding the dancefloor. Entrance was 3 euros. The DJ was decent playing house music. Around 1 o clock another room was openend where people can dance really on top of each other, on R&B/hiphop music.

    Lovely atmosphere and great drinks. Would definitely visit again.

  • 1/5 Alban K. 1 year ago on Google
    That's Punk at its best! Letting customers who spend a lot of money on entry fee and drinks pay for the. toilet. Never again.

  • 4/5 Oleh K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place but toilets are not free even with entrance pay.

    Going to Charlatan since 18 years, when there is a concert I want to see. Very nice place with multiple rooms and outdoor patio when the weather allows it. They organise parties mostly attracting students, but also some gigs. There is a very practical lockers room - recommended because it can get quite crowded.

  • 5/5 Amélie 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for a party. Friendly staff, never too crowded.

  • 1/5 Anna A. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice place to dance with a cool atmosphere, but they CHARGE FOR THE TOILETS!!!!! Even though you pay for the entrance and drinks!

  • 3/5 Kyle H. 5 years ago on Google
    Three stars at best. Plenty of space, yes. Enjoy dancing to straight house music. Ps the place is 70:30 dudes. Happy hunting If you come with a lady it could be a good time.

  • 5/5 Helmi A. 4 years ago on Google
    Charlatan Bar located in Vlasmarkt, Gent. and it's the most popular Bar and Disco which Gent people love to go in the weekends. Enjoy your evening there 😉

    Nice vibe and music, however very crowded and very long queue to get in and long queue for the restrooms.

  • 4/5 Alex A. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a great place, much larger than expected. It has two floors. When I was there it was electronic and (french) hip-hop. Would go again.

  • 4/5 Juan Sebastian Gomez T. 2 years ago on Google
    Small. High prices. Good music.

  • 4/5 Jasper De g. 2 years ago on Google
    not my music but good staff they can't count so you have cheaper drinks, or the prices are just that good 😋

  • 4/5 robert r. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice club. There is a lot of different music and you can always find the line-up on Facebook or on their posters. They have nice personal and they are open to help you. Sometimes there are a lot of guys. If a guy is annoying you can tell the bouncers and they probably will kick him out. It's 50 cent's for the toilet but if you ask for a toilet pass it's 2,50 for a 6 times card. It's a big place with different rooms and four bars if everything is open.

  • 5/5 Agostina O. 1 year ago on Google
