Reviews
Great sound system. I have not experienced any coub yet that had this crystal clear sound, and it was just loud enough that I didn't need earplugs. A little small dancefloor, but very cozy outdoors.
As always, the review of the club is always hard to disentangle from the event label. We were at a Cuddles event. In any case, we had a great time. Few details: The queue was perhaps 20 min and it didn't feel it was kept artificially long. I heard about Garderobe issues previously that has led to long queues but it seems fixed and there were 2-3 people taking our clothes. The door had presale and doors tickets. People behind and in front of us got rejected at the vibe check so make sure to read up on the event and look the part, don't be drunk or rude. The crowd inside was very respectful and fun and we didn't have a single inappropriate encounter, so to some extent the door filtering may have worked. The layout of the club is pretty slick, especially in summer, as the two floors are connected via an outside area where the staff had a fireplace going thru the whole night. It was so cozy to watch the sun rise. There is a little upper deck with chairs and benches which has people interact and connect. The music was great and the sound system was also decent (but I'm not an audiophile, so someone who really knows their Kirsch from a Strauss might disagree! We specifically went for DJ Jenny Cara which was amazing. One negative aspect is that the prices were pretty steep. The last stage pre-sale was 28 EUR and a small beer like 6 EUR or something. Yeah, yeah, Pfand, but who's gonna bother. But still, it's a bit much, especially for a more community-oriented event. Also I think the toilet sitch could be improved somewhat.
An interesting and at the same time trashy venue, the garden is a cool space. The sound quality and volume leave a lot to be desired. No face or dresscode control so the crowd is very mixed and touristy which is both a good and a bad thing. Overall, it feels more like a big house party than a club.
The club is well done: cozy but still with two dance floors and more rooms to explore. As another review said before, the sound system from the main dance floor is much worse than from the garden. The price was a bit higher than we expected: we paid 25€
