Reviews
The venue itself is great – it is spacious, easy to navigate, with lots of lockers for your belongings and a decent outdoor smoking area and great location within Rotterdam. The reason I'm giving it 3 instead of 5 stars is that they charge you for water (tap water is not an option, though perhaps the pipes are just not good enough to allow for tap water to be drunk) and they charge you for using the toilets (isn't that a human right?). I have no other reference in the NL as this was my first rave in the country (I'm from DE and live in the UK), but having to pay 3.50 Euro (once) to be allowed to use the toilet is a bit ridiculous. Regardless whether the venue owner was independent of the event's promoter, I'd have used a fraction of the ticket or drink prices to pay for the toilet cleaning (if THAT was the primary motivator to charge this fee). Living in London, one of the most unfairly priced club cities in Europe, I was taken aback at this rubbish pricing policy, a blemish on an otherwise fun night.
I recently went to this nightclub and I was extremely disappointed with my experience. Upon arrival, I had to pay €5 for a locker which is already quite pricey. Later, I discovered that the entry fee I paid (40€!) did not include access to the toilet and I had to pay an additional €3.50 to use it. To make matters worse, I was not allowed to bring my empty bottle to the toilet to refill it with water, even though I told the toilet staff that I was close to collapsing. The only way for me to buy water was at the bar for an exorbitant price of €5.25. This is absolutely unacceptable for a place that markets itself as rave-friendly. It is dangerous and irresponsible to restrict people's access to toilets and free water at a rave. The club's internal policies go against the core values of the rave community, which is a real shame for the entire culture. Instead of embracing the essence of rave culture, this place seems to exploit it for profit as much as possible. I strongly advise against going to this club.
Massive industrial place in R'dam. Use sometimes as music venue. Works really well just make sure you find a good spot.
Looks nice, but all they seem to care about is ripping people off. Charging €3.50 for the toilets is not ok. It was an all-night event, so they knew everyone had to go to the toilet. Just raise the ticket price a bit. Not having tap water available is not ok either. A 0.5L bottle of water was €5.25, this is not ok. Super strict security that walks around ruining the vibe is not ok at a rave. Lockers were overly expensive, with no alternative. Acoustics/sound were terrible in the main room, not suitable for fast/danceable music. Overcrowded when sold out. If you want a fun, carefree rave, go somewhere else. I will never go here again.
Super nice space; party hard on Fatboy Slim performance.
