    This is a horrible place to go as a woman! I have been physically harrased by two men in this place. I was pushed and the chair was pulled under me in the bar becuase these men said the seat 'belonged to them'. The ladies working at the bar were not interested at all, and the security guy who came talked with the guys by 'hugging them' so clearly they were friends. The security ended up pushing me out of the bar instead of the guys harrasing me without even my jacket in the middle of the night. SO IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE PHYSICALLY HURT AND NOT HELPED AT ALL, AVOID THIS PLACE FOR SURE!! This is a bar where the security guys protect the harrasers against women who were harrased.

    I went there last night, in front of door they did not let me to enter, they said you look really gentle and stylish but persons appearance should be familiar for us, i said now you know all people who entered inside? I planed to go there, to just dance a night, that is it... but treatment of guard made me as much as sad, even i did not go to another place. I came back directly home.

    (Translated by Google) Visiting Back & Fourth is a kind of Russian roulette. While you come in effortlessly one time, the next time you are refused for nonsense reasons. No idea what the security is doing. We were refused around 6 o'clock with 6 people, because we would determine the atmosphere too much. This while the tent was certainly half full. This is the second time that I have been refused here for nonsense reasons. No matter that I will recommend or visit in the future. (Original) Back & Fourth bezoeken is een soort Russische roulette. Terwijl je de ene keer moeiteloos binnen komt, word je de volgende keer om onzinredenen geweigerd. Geen idee waar de beveiliging mee bezig is. We werden rond een uur of 1 met 6 man geweigerd, want we zouden dan de sfeer te veel bepalen. Dit terwijl de tent al zeker halfvol stond. Dit is de tweede keer dat ik om een onzinnige reden hier ben geweigerd. Geen zaak die ik in de toekomst nog zal aanbevelen, of ga bezoeken.

    (Translated by Google) So clear! I wanted to have a nice beer with some buddies, but the doorman said "Sorry man, it is no more Cost Buyer here, there is a new owner and he does not want to see foreigners in his tent" !!! Article 1 constitution: "All persons in the Netherlands are treated equally in equal cases. Discrimination on grounds of religion, belief, political affiliation, race, gender or any other reason is prohibited." Let's further promote polarization. Well done guys! (Original) Zo duidelijk! Ik wilde ff gezellig biertjes doen met paar maatjes, maar de portier zei " Sorry man , het is geen Kosten Koper meer hier, er is een nieuwe eigenaar en hij wil geen buitenlanders zien in zijn tent" !!! Artikel 1 grondwet: "Allen die zich in Nederland bevinden, worden in gelijke gevallen gelijk behandeld. Discriminatie wegens godsdienst, levensovertuiging, politieke gezindheid, ras, geslacht of op welke grond dan ook, is niet toegestaan." Laten we de polarisatie verder bevorderen. Goed bezig jongens!

    I went once, I paid to put my things in a locker, at the end of the night I found the locker open and someone stole my scarf and my friend's jacket. Quite traumatic experience…

    The security is terrible. They pushed me out of line because “i showed them my ID too fast.” My friends were already inside and they wouldn’t let me in. When i said sorry, the bouncer made me apologise to the other one and then i could finally get in after being intimidated. They were very rude to others in line as well and said to a girl: “show me your ID you f— (v^t.”

    Don't give money to this place. Went there once, never going there again. The bouncers are sexists and outright rude. If you are a woman, you will be harassed. Disgusting behavior. Obviously all the 5 star reviews are from the friends of the owner/workers. Hoping it goes bankrupt so that they learn how to run a business and deal with people.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately bad service! There is enormous discrimination! Man only looks at your color if you are not blonde, you are not allowed at all! As a hospitality entrepreneur who is number 1 in Utrecht, it is a great pity that a café that stands in front of your own house is going to discriminate because of your race! (Original) Helaas slecht service! Er wordt enorm gediscrimineerd! Man kijkt alleen maar naar jouw houdt kleur als je geen blonden bent, wordt je überhaupt niet toegelaten! Als een horecaondernemer die als nummer 1 in Utrecht staat, vindt het enorm jammer dat café die voor jouw eigen huis staat gaat discrimineren wegens jouw ras!

    (Translated by Google) Scandalous loot tent ... porter only lets "white" people in while he is Surinamese himself. Moroccans, Turks, Surinamese only come in if they give 10 euros or more to the porter, while Back and Fourth does not ask for an entrance fee. Really a racist door policy! while one of the 3 owners is Surinamese. Really outrageous! .. Hope that this tent soon goes bankrupt and costs Copper back, where everyone was welcome regardless of race or color. (Original) Schandalige klotetent!..portier laat alleen "witte" mensen binnen , terwijl hij zelf Surinaams is . Marokkanen , Turken , Surinamers komen alleen binnen als ze 10 euro of meer aan de portier geven , terwijl Back and Fourth zelf geen entree vraagt . Echt een racistisch deurbeleid! terwijl een van de 3 eigenaren zelf Surinaams is . Echt schandalig!.. Hoop dat deze tent gauw failliet gaat en Kosten Koper weer terug komt , waar iedereen welkom was ongeacht ras of kleur.

    I came here after the recommendation of a Spanish music superstar. He really knows what he likes, roasted duck. But he also likes jazz and I am glad that he took me to this place. The drummer thinks that every Wednesday it is his birthday, so he plays jazz with his friends with a happy face 🙃 Cool place nonetheless!

    (Translated by Google) !!!! ATTENTION GOOGLE !!!! For a tent like this there should be a 0 star option. What a bad place. Never go here !! What a ridiculous staff, hospitality is not in their dictionary. The music is tough. Sad tent .😵😵😵😵😵 (Original) !!!! LET OP GOOGLE!!!! Voor een tent als deze zou er een 0 sterren optie moeten bestaan. Wat een slechte tent. Ga hier nooit heen!! Wat een belachelijk personeel, gastvrijheid komt niet in hun woordenboek voor. De muziek is zwaar k😣t. Trieste tent .😵😵😵😵😵

    (Translated by Google) Racist doormen! Wanted with small group inside including Indian boy. After a bit of questioning, it turned out that he was the reason we were not allowed in. "Only for regular audiences" it was said even though I come regularly. Bad story those 2 pathetic men at the door. This tent is a shame for Utrecht. (Original) Racistische portiers! Wilden met kleine groep naar binnen waaronder Indische jongen. Na beetje doorvragen bleek dat hij reden was dat we niet naar binnen mochten. 'Alleen voor vast publiek' werd gezegd ondanks dat ik er regelmatig kom. Slecht verhaal die 2 zielige mannetjes bij de deur. Deze tent is een schande voor Utrecht.

    (Translated by Google) Ridiculous security guard. Great tent that is ruined by a narcissistic bouncer who feels the king is too rich, attracts people and makes others wait for them to go away with a weak excuse that prevents them from entering. If you say something, then Mr. becomes aggressive. Been in a few times, they play great music but it's way too hot. Pop in some extra air conditioning and put a normal door in front of the door. (Original) Belachelijke beveiliger. Prima tent die wordt verpest door een narcistische uitsmijter die zich de koning te rijk voelt, mensen voortrekt en anderen laat wachten om ze daarna ook nog eens af te wimpelen met een slap excuus waardoor ze er niet in mogen. Zeg je er wat van dan wordt meneer agressief. Paar keer binnen geweest, ze draaien prima muziek maar het is veel te warm. Knal er wat extra airco's in en zet een normale portier voor de deur.

    Extremely loud sound levels with speakers right next to your head. Bring earplugs or you'll be deaf the next day like me now. Lots of 90's style pop music, but I guess taste is personal.

    (Translated by Google) Security can be called questionable. Mister thought we were a group of five men, while the three of us were really there. We didn't even know the other two. Then all five of us didn't enter because of this. Although we would like to enter the five of us, I would not have understood the point. Will not be going here again. (Original) Beveiliging dubieus te noemen. Meneer dacht dat wij een groep waren van vijf mannen, terwijl we toch echt met z'n drieën waren. De andere twee kenden wij niet eens. Vervolgens kwamen we alle vijf hierdoor niet binnen. Al zouden we wel met zn vijven binnen willen komen, dan had ik het punt alsnog niet begrepen. Zal hier niet nog een keer naar toe gaan.

    (Translated by Google) Porters gladly replaced! As read earlier here, an Asian boy was also refused because he might get drunk. If the doormen have been replaced, we would like to receive an invitation to visit Back & Fourth again and write a full review. (Original) Portiers graag vervangen! Zoals eerder hier gelezen is bij ons ook een Aziatische jongen geweigerd omdat hij mogelijk dronken zou gaan worden. Mochten de portiers vervangen zijn ontvangen wij graag een uitnodiging om Back&Fourth nog eens te bezoeken en een volledige review te schrijven.

  • 1/5 Alex K. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Poor security. Porter was selective in letting people in. For example, I was denied access because I "happened to be drunk". At that moment I only had three beers. I did not get that explained to the porter. While we were talking he sent a random other group away. I have never experienced anything like this in Utrecht. (Original) Slechte beveiliging. Portier was selectief in het binnenlaten van mensen. Mij werd bijvoorbeeld toegang geweigerd omdat ik “te beschonken overkwam”. Op dat moment had ik maar drie biertjes op. Dat kreeg ik niet aan de portier uitgelegd. Terwijl wij aan het praten waren stuurde hij een willekeurige andere groep weg. Zoiets heb ik nog nooit meegemaakt in Utrecht.

    (Translated by Google) TAKE AN AIRCO !!! It is so ridiculously warm inside, I have never lasted longer than 45 minutes / hour. You have fun for a while, but in the end it is really not fun. They really need that air conditioning. (Original) NEEM EEN AIRCO!!! Het is zo belachelijk warm daarbinnen, ik heb het nooit langer dan 45 min/een uur volgehouden. Je hebt er heel even plezier maar het is uiteindelijk echt niet leuk. Die airco hebben ze echt hard nodig.

  • 1/5 Rens J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quite worthless tent, I have been standing in line for about 15 minutes to go to OUTSIDE, the "bouncer" tried at all costs to keep people in strangely enough. About 15 people want to go outside but it simply doesn't work because the bouncer keeps the door closed from outside! The municipality should inspect fire safety here, I think it is just as bad with that as with the atmosphere at the exit. (Original) Vrij waardeloze tent, ik sta nu al circa 15 minuten in de rij om naar BUITEN te gaan, de ‘uitsmijter’ probeert kostte wat het kost mensen binnen te houden vreemd genoeg. Ongeveer 15 mensen willen naar buiten maar het lukt simpelweg niet omdat de uitsmijter de deur dicht houdt vanuit buiten! De gemeente zou hier de brandveiligheid eens moeten inspecteren, ik denk dat het daarmee net zo slecht gesteld is als met de sfeer bij de uitgang.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place and chill staff, but the security guards screw it up for them, discriminate and inspect everything that happens inside, even when we are bothered with some girls inside. In any case, we will not get there anymore, very crooked policy which is maintained here (Original) Leuke tent en chill personeel, maar de beveiliger verziekt het voor ze, discriminatie en keurt alles wat er binnen gebeurt, zelfs als we met een aantal meiden binnen worden lastig gevallen. Wij komen er in ieder geval niet meer, erg krom beleid wat hier wordt gehandhaafd
