The other guys at the entrance was also rude and ironic to us. I won΄t go there again.They are not the healthy side of the gay community that we support

    Smoking is allowed, and there is no ventilation. My bf almost suffered an asthma attack. Get a smoking area like the rest of Europe. Disgraceful.

    It’s not lgbt friendly it’s gay friendly they allowed 3 boys without a reservation and when me and my girlfriend asked to get in they didn’t let us but the next gay couple (who didn’t had reservation either got in) this is terrible, we are gay too doesn’t mean anything even we are girls

    Amazing time! €5 entrance which includes a beer, or €8 and you get a long drink (we had vodka cranberry, thank you). Such a fun time, very busy and sweaty. It is a younger crowd, but I didn’t feel out of place as a 34 male. We arrived around 1.30 and it stayed busy all the way through. We went to Urania for a roof top drink beforehand which is just around the corner. Have fun x

    Very good LGBT friendly place to party. Nice choice of music (nice classic pop and remixes), very friendly staff and the manager (we had shots together). I was there both alone and with straight friends and it was always fun till morning. No problems with being foreigner or straight at all (I read such rumors before going there), everybody was welcoming. The drawback is that the place is very small and in the weekends it is almost impossible to dance, also people do smoke inside which is really annoying and unplesant.

    Entrance fee 6EUR (beer or wine included, or small alco drink if you pay additionally 2EUR). Club is rather small. Everyone smokes inside so everything smells with cigarettes (you and your clothes will too). They play mainly pop hits from the past. Club service was fine. Customers are mainly 20s and some older guys (probably tourists). It's almost impossible to socialise with locals because everyone stays in small circle of their friends. People started coming around 1am (Friday). I was a little bit bored that's why I left at 3am.

    It was an horrendous experience. First of all the staff was extremely rude ,me and my straight friends were "attacked" verbally by a member of the staff coz apparently we "don't fit in this place" he literally came out of nowhere unprovoked and told us to leave and never come back kinda of an unacceptable behavior imo.

    The staff was just very unfriendly. It wasn't really interesting inside and the drinks could be better.

    Worst "LGBTQ" club I have ever experienced. It definitely disgraces the term. Guy at the door must have had a negative iq. First thing we got asked is "you know that this is a gay bar right? " We said yes and then the security guy started being rude for no reason,I guess because most of the people in our company were straight. No reason whatsoever. Take better care of who you place at the door as security and don't choose monkeys that defile the image of the club. Edit : if straight people aren't allowed cause of the nature of the club it is totally fine. However your people shouldn't be rude and toxic for no reason. You may try for one time to accept a negative review and understand that something actually might be wrong. If it was told to us that we weren't allowed to go in it would be okay. Being ironic and unprofessional is a whole different story. So I still think that you place monkeys at the door that don't know how to socialize.

    Only bar in Thessaloniki advertising openly as ‘gay bar’ ... and thus charging a fee even to get in. If you want to go there, be aware that the bar is not visible from the street, you have to take the stairs in the back of the building to go up tonthe second floor.

    Very nice staff , the drinks are a bit expensive and they charge 5eur to get in. You have to pay outside before you order - the system is a bit weird but the staff was very polite . It actually opens at midnight , nice young crowd. I guess I recommend .

    Not as I expected, the guests are too young (i am 34) i felt like i am an alien in there. Not friendly, ignoring me and my date. Gay people are we supposed to be friendlier to each other?! Anyway since there is not any better place there, you should visit. They charge 5euro at the entrance, and with that you get a beer or a glass of wine.

    Unfortunately the people (clients and staff) keep smoking inside the bar so it is unbearable to stay indoors and enjoy the night

    Apart from the guys at the wardrobe and a funny waiter, the place doesn’t reserve any good stars: music is a bit old fashion, people smoke inside without a proper air ventilation in the environment. But the worst was a bunch of girls that rudely invited us (an Italian,a Portuguese,a Polish and a Russian) to go back to our country just because someone of us was pushed against them: an lgbt+ place shouldn’t promote any kind of racism. And the even worst, when complained at the entrance,the answer was: “I am sorry, we are working on this. It already happened that some of these girls are rude”. Well, that you’re not working on this enough! A 5 star to the friendly waiter, Antonis,that invited us for a shot!

    The loveliest staff and a safe space for queers (thanks to the security person which really tries not to let too many cis het men in) - music selection could use some new DJs though

    As fast as they realise you’re a tourist they overpaid even if i had a greek friend who used to work there. Good staff but a non frienly boss. Would not recommend.

    Don't listen to the one star reviews! The place is the one place here where gender-queer and trans people can feel safe! It's a great (young) crowd with the barmen mixing the strongest drink you ever had! Loved every moment 💕 The music is very pop/ best-of-2010s so just be mindful it's not gonna be the latest of hit, but that's more just about Greek trends rather than the place 😅 thanks for the amazing time 🥰

    I was there on Saturday and it was packed with people, which I appreciated. However, the vibe was quite low. People are just looking. Maybe because of the terrible music - radio pop. Alcohol was not helping me through it. It’s a place to see and to be seen. As a gay tourist you’ll be disappointed. As a gay Greek you’ll feel home.

    We stayed in Thessaloniki for 4 nights and each night we came back to this club. The music was amazing and service too, the club it's well cleaned and the cocktails are really good. Plus it's really cheap, with eight euros you pay the entrance and a cocktail, or with six you pay the entrance and or wine or beer. The people there are really nice, the staff is amazing, a big credit to a man outside that talked Italian with us and was really really kind with us all the night we stayed, he even offered us some shots. He was so sweet and kind, he treated us like we were his friends and I'm sure he does this with everyone, so here you are always welcome and well treated. The bar man and the guys inside the disco that are part of the staff are really nice too, you can ask them everything and they'll always answer you with a smile on and kindly. They all speak a very good English. Really loved it, recommended to everyone!!

    As a Scotsman, i know my whisky. It was watered down. No smell or taste. The bar person who served me was so engrossed with his own gratitude. It was 6 euros to get and 8 euros for a drink. Been to many gay clubs, this one i will not be back to. I am standing at the bar waiting to be served, bar staff so engrossed in shouting and drinking that they have ignored me. 20 minutes and still not served. Do not waste your money here.

    The main water was so rude and awful. He didn’t want to give us a glass for our wine, didn t want us to stay close to the bar, never smiled and was violent to my friend!!! Terrible. He needs to be fired. Violent, mean, agressive and non professional… never go there

    There were nice people. A lot of young folks. Sadly, there was like 90% Greek music and 10% international (English) songs the whole night.

    Pros: Very accepting, queer place. Workers are really sweet. Entry fee is acceptable. Cons: They smoke inside. Feedback: Should play more international songs at least on some days, definitely need to change djs sometimes. One day he played loreen euphoria for 5 times! Hahaha

  • 3/5 Jakob W. 4 months ago on Google
    This is one of only two gay clubs in Thessaloniki and therefore you might end up here. The venue is alright, the staff was friendly. We payed $6 cover which included coat check and a drink, I find that's more than fair. The music was alright in the beginning and later turned very annoying, because the DJ would play every song only for one minute and then switch to the next one. I'm not sure how people can dance to that. The room was packed, the crowed turned more and more into a straight crowd, and not many people actually danced. One of the biggest annoyances is the cigarette smoke. Many guests and even staff members smoke openly. I read in replies to other reviews here that the owner pretends that there is no smoking - this is clearly a lie. It creates a bad atmospehere and your clothing will smell like cigarettes after going into this club.

🫤 This visit was in middle of August, but still: no soap in bathrooms, I almost slip due to the (very) wet floor of the bar, the beer was poorly drawn (6€ is a fair price for a craft beer, but come on), the CO2 machine needs to be checked once in a while. The place is beautiful tough and the service...
