    Worst club I have ever been too. After waiting in line for 2 hours, I was not allowed in because my pants were considered to sloppy by the bouncer. However the guy was so kind to let me in if I payed him €40 in cash. I made the mistake to do so and was introduced to a horrible smell and a sticky floor. I even received a death treat from another person in the club. Please do not go here!

    It was wayy too hot. Music wasn't that good. Floor was sticky, and there was glass laying on the floor... Other than that, the drinks weren't that expensive, so that was good. Oh another thing, they wont let you out to smoke or anything, so we left at 22:00 because after 1,5 hours of standing in a sauna it was enough. If we want to go to a sauna we would just go to Termen 😉

    Worst experience ever. I lost my laptop from their lockers, and the staff took zero responsibility. Their emails were rude and unhelpful. My other friends also had bad experiences. Some found their belongings outside the locker, and some could open random lockers with random codes. Please do not trust them to be helpful or apologetic. I had to report it to the police, and only after that they 'found' it in one of their lockers. There is a very small sheet somewhere that says a QR code is required for the lockers that didn't secure the locker either.

    Worst club ever!! Don’t go here. The bouncers are rude and verbally aggressive for no reason. We did nothing to provoke any kind of that aggression. If I were assaulted I wouldn’t feel safe!! The floors are sticky and the bathrooms are disgusting. All staff is rude and curses you out for no reason. Even though we all had tickets we had to wait outside for over an hour. Never ever have I experienced something like this and I will absolutely never come back nor recommend this club.

    Has potential. With a lick of paint, new toilets and a slightly more balanced sound system, you can certainly have a great evening here. Club has a bad image, they have to work on this. Update: a friend stood in glass, this was due to his shoe. Then the first aid could do nothing. That's not how you treat customers. Do not give glasses to customers or provide proper first aid!! And make sure your locker is closed properly, because that is also from before the Second World War.

    Probably the worst club I've been to, the only redeeming part was the bouncer at the entrance was sound. The inside overwhelmingly smelled like vomit, the woman working in the bathroom hit my friend in the face because he accidentally opened the door to the supply closet in the bathroom (it looked like another stall). We ended up leaving within 5 minutes.

    (Translated by Google) Good music, cozy atmosphere. Very nice experience. The only drawback is that everyone gets their drink in glass, so that the entire floor is under the glass. Foot was completely open and my friend had fallen during a moshpit so that his hand was also open. Continue 👌🏼 (Original) Goeie muziek, gezellige sfeer. Hele leuke ervaring. Enigste nadeel is dat iedereen hun drank in glas krijgt waardoor de hele vloer onder het glas ligt. Voet lag helemaal open en mijn vriend was gevallen tijdens een moshpit waardoor zijn hand ook open lag. Verder 👌🏼

  • 1/5 zackary B. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Hush NYE: Had to wait outside for hours (02:00-04:00) even though we had bought tickets. There was constant pushing and shoving in the queue and the general atmosphere was terrible. When we arrived it turned out that it wasn't even full inside. No one was dancing and the (moderate) music was soft. The place closed at six o'clock, so we felt like we had wasted the evening waiting in line. I would advise everyone not to go to this place if you want to have a nice evening.

    Bought tickets online and waited 1.5 hour in line. After that the bouncer would not let us in eventhough we had tickets. We were only allowed in if we paid him an extra 50 euro's in cash. In return we got a smelling club with awful beer.

    I left my drink on the bar for a few seconds and the waiters took it. When I claimed my drink they told me I had to pay for it again. There was no sign or anything that said you couldn't put the drink in there. They are scammers...

    Wouldn't recommend this place! I've been to my fair share of clubs and this one definitely ranks near the bottom. It was like an overcrowded sauna. The music wasn't coherent - from nirvana, to Beyoncé to a random techno song? The smoking area was disgusting with no ventilation. On the positive side, the bouncers were nice and drinks were cheap.

    (Translated by Google) One of the few clubs in Utrecht that is not so wrong. Also pleasantly busy on Tuesday night. Friendly staff, not afraid to get a lemon for the Corona at the other bar. (Original) Een van de weinige clubs in Utrecht, die niet zo fout is. Ook op dinsdagnacht gezellig druk. Vriendelijk personeel, niet te beroerd om even speciaal een citroentje voor in de Corona te halen bij de andere bar.

    Awful music paired with an awful sound system. Slippery and sticky floor thanks to countless intoxicated teenage students incapable of standing straight with their drinks. Rude bouncers, careless staff. No idea how anyone feels this equates a great time.

    (Translated by Google) Nice tent, very small ... but the sound you say to you! Staff are friendly, toilet lady might be a bit more friendly, but it is not easy to keep everyone there on your own. (Original) Leuke tent, wel klein... maar geluid waar je u tegen zegt! Personeel is vriendelijk , toiletdame kan misschien wat vriendelijker, maar het valt ook niet mee iedereen daar in je eentje in het gareel te houden.

  • 1/5 mksb m. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 'bouncers' of north african descent who first tell you that you are not coming in based on a color (which of course they do not have ..). If you then come to your pocket with your phone for a second time, it is suddenly group formation. These security guards have not even undergone training and cannot verbally express themselves or guarantee safety. The old bearded man comes very close and they intimidate you with his colleague, who is under the influence of a white substance that can still be seen under his nose. (Original) 'uitsmijters' van noord afrikaanse afkomst die je eerst zeggen dat je niet binnenkomt obv een kleurtje (die zij natuurlijk niet hebben..) . Kom je vervolgens met je telefoon op recorder stand in je zak voor een tweede maal, is het opeens groepsvorming. Deze beveiligers hebben niet eens een opleiding gevolgd en kunnen zich niet verbaal verwoorden of veiligheid garanderen. De oude man met baard komt hierbij zeer dichtbij en samen met zijn collega, die onder de invloed is van een witte substantie die nog te zien is onder zijn neus, intimideren ze je.

    (Translated by Google) There are things that could be better (maintenance), but given the price you pay (free admission, drink average price) it's fine. Mainly for students ..

    This is a typical Dutch student bar. You'll hear anything from decade old club bangers to the Pokémon theme song. Problem is that the sound is not well adjusted. At higher volume, they need to dampen the treble somewhat because I was left with a noise in my ear. It's too bad really, because it can be fixed easily without a worse experience.

    Bought a ticket on New Year's Eve and then waited in line for 1.5 hours. Everyone pushed ahead and nothing was done about this by the staff. Others paid security extra money to get in. Ultimately, I was able to arrive 2 hours before closing. The room wasn't even filled so we had no idea what we were waiting for all this time. A waste of the evening.
