Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
The small room fills quickly after 22:00, especially Saturday and theme nights. Arrive near opening for easier coat and bar access.
Best night
Select the posted pop theme—artist tributes, throwbacks and Sunday formats attract different fans. There is no regular Monday-Wednesday service.
Locals vs visitors
Pop-focused LGBTQ+ dancers, students, visitors and friend groups dominate; the room skews toward active dancing rather than quiet conversation.
Dress code in practice
Casual expressive clubwear works; keep layers compact because the dance floor is tight. Physical ID is required.
Staff inclusion
The venue explicitly operates in LGBTQ nightlife, but no detailed public accessibility policy is available; contact it before a mobility-sensitive visit.
